Jimmy Butler’s Story: From a Homeless Kid to an NBA All-Star
从无家可归到全明星的Jimmy Butler
https://reurl.cc/GrEdkA
Jimmy Butler, born in the outskirts of Houston, had the support of his loving
family that lead him to become an NBA All-Star. But, not by his birth parents.
吉米在休士顿的郊区诞生，因为他挚爱的家人的支持让他如今成为NBA全明星。
但，这些爱，不是来自他的亲生父母。
Butler never knew his father growing up, and his biological mother wasn’t
the most nurturing either. At only 13 years old, she had these final words
for her son:
从出生就不知道自己的生父是谁，他的生母也没有善尽养育的责任。在吉米他13岁时，他
妈妈对他说的最后一段话就是：
“I don’t like the look of you. You gotta go.” Imagine hearing your mom
speak those words…
“我不喜欢你的长相，你滚吧！”想像一下从你妈妈口中听到这话时候的心情吧
For Jimmy Butler, this was a harsh reality. However, he chose to never be a
victim of his circumstances. During his late middle school and early high
school years, he went couch hopping from one friend or teammates house to the
next.
对他来说，这是个残酷的事实，但是他绝不妥协。在国中晚期到高中初期，他在朋友及队
友家轮流借宿。
It was a life Jimmy got accustomed to and served him well for the time being.
This was also the same time in his life when Jimmy Butler decided to quit
football.
那时的他已经习惯当年这样的生活方式，也造就了他。
而同一段时间，他也决定放弃美式足球。
According to Jimmy, he hated practicing football in the hot summer weather,
plus he was only about 5’3” when he was 13 years didn’t want to “get
crushed” by the bigger guys on the field. Basketball was his next sport of
choice, marking the birth of Jimmy Buckets.
据他所说，他讨厌在炎热的夏季里练习足球，而且他在13岁那年才只有5尺3吋左右，不
想被球场上的大个子冲撞。篮球是他的下一个选择的运动，标志着士官长的诞生。
Jimmy continued bouncing from one house to another throughout high school
until the summer before his senior year. A freshman, Jordan Leslie, now a
Wide Receiver for the Denver Broncos changed his life. The two hit it off and
became friends, and soon after, family.
直到高三夏天之前，他都在不同人家里借宿，直到Jordan Leslie(现为丹佛野马队球员)的
出现，才改变了他的人生。这两位一见如故，并成为了朋友，最后成为了家人。
It all started when Jordan told Jimmy he could spend the night over his
house. One night led to a couple, a couple nights to weeks, weeks to months,
& the rest is history. Jordan’s mom, Michelle Lambert, accepted Jimmy with
open arms. There were already 7 children in the family, but Michelle was able
to give Jimmy the home he deserved.
。
一切开始于Jordan告诉吉米你可以一整晚待在自己的房子，从一晚变几晚，从几晚变几周
从几周变成几个月，后来的事大家都知道了。Jordan的妈妈Michelle Lambert展开双手接
纳了吉米，尽管当时她们加已经有了7个孩子，但Michelle还是给吉米他应当获得的。
“They accepted me into their family, and it wasn’t because of basketball…
She was just very loving. She just did stuff like that. I couldn’t believe
it.” -Jimmy Butler on Michelle Lambert and his new family
“他们接纳了我加入他们的家庭，而这并跟篮球无关，她只是非常爱。她就是那样做的。
我完全不敢相信。”
Michelle continued supporting Jimmy when he went off to play college
basketball at Marquette University in Wisconsin, the first time Jimmy Butler
stayed outside of Texas.
Michelle持续支持他，直到他离开，去威斯康辛州的马奎特大学打篮球，这是他第一次离
开德州。
Fighting homesickness, Butler considered leaving Marquette and moving back
home to Texas, but his mom Michelle insisted that he should see the
opportunity through. And her advice didn’t disappoint.
因为太想家了，吉米一度想要离开马奎特回到德州，但他妈Michelle坚持他必须在那等待
机会，而这份建议最终没让人失望。
Jimmy Butler lit up Marquette his junior year and declared for the NBA draft
soon after. He’d be the last pick in the first round, selected by the
Chicago Bulls. Undoubtedly the sleeper of his draft.
大三时吉米离开马奎特投身到nba选秀，他成为第一轮最后一顺位被公牛选中，无疑地爆
了那时乐透的大冷门。
After being homeless as a child, Jimmy Butler not only became an NBA Star (a
very rich one too), he had a loving family to experience and share the
memories of his success and dreams.
从一开始无家可归的孩子，吉米最终不只成为了nba明星(也非常富有了)，同时他还有一
个热爱的家庭，可以一同分享他的经历与回忆。
As he told ESPN: “Please, I know you’re going to write something. I’m just
asking you, don’t write it in a way that makes people feel sorry for me… I
hate that. There’s nothing to feel sorry about. I love what happened to me.
It made me who I am. I’m grateful for the challenges I’ve faced. Please, don
’t make them feel sorry for me.”
他告诉ESPN，“我知道你要写些什么，我只希望你不要把我写的很可怜，我讨厌那样，那
没什么需要觉得可怜的，我爱我的过往经历，他们造就了现在的我，我很感激我面对过这
些人生挑战，拜托，别让人们觉得我可怜。”
So, let us be clear. The purpose of this story isn’t to ask sympathy for
what Jimmy Butler went through, it’s to acknowledge how far he’s come. To
acknowledge anything is possible, especially when you’re not alone.
所以囉，让我们搞清楚，这个故事的目的不是为了吉米博取同情，这是为了了解吉米一路
上是怎样走过来的，是了解当你并不孤单时，一切都有可能。
