I’ve posted LeBron James’ sons LeBron Jr. and Bryce Maximus and Dwyane Wade’s son Zaire Wade and Shaquille O’Neal’s son Shareef. Now we have Caron Butler’s son and he’s killing it too.
Butler’s son J.C. is just a 15-year-old sophomore at Racine Prairie HS in Wisconsin but already has interest from D-1 schools like Wisconsin, Marquette Memphis and North Dakota State.
Why all the hubbub? It’s not just the 41 point explosion, J.C. is averaging nearly 20 points a game and is already 6’4″.
How does dad feel about the success? TMZ Sports talked to Caron and here’s what he had to say.
“I’m extremely proud of him. I’ve been watching him from afar, but I just got back to Racine and got to watch him play. He’s playing great basketball going into State. I see myself in him a lot. He’s much better than I was at that age.”
As far as the NBA? Butler says it’s not a sure thing but he’s willing to do whatever he can to make sure J.C. has the shot.
“He really feels like he has a shot playing at a higher level. I’m going to give him every outlet and resource possible.”
