Jimmy Butler wasn't supposed to be in this position. He was homeless for brief stints during the age of 13.

Butler was nearly left out of the first round of adidasy mękie the NBA Draft. Now on the eve of a max contract offer from a team dwelling in America's third largest market, all of his hard work is finally about to pay off.
