2 NBA All-Stars + 1 championship, with a peak average of 20.8 points and a career average of 14.1 points

Caron Butler, a basketball tough guy known for biting straws, rewritten his destiny with his perseverance and hard work. He was born in a poor neighborhood and was trained many times before he was 15 years old, but he found a new life with basketball. In the 2002 draft, he entered the league and started his 14-year career. Since then, he has been to nine teams, averaging 14.1 points and 5 rebounds per game, and was selected into the All-Star twice, and won the championship with the Mavericks in 2011. Whether it is the storm dunk on the field, the dispute with Arenas and McGrady's locker room, or the courage to decisively rush forward to resolve grudges, Butler always proves with his actions that the desperate situation is the place of survival.

was born in a Florida labor family. Butler learned to bite straws since he was a child - that was not only his "standard match" on the field, but also a symbol of his concentration without distraction. It is said that his wife has to prepare 60 straws for him every day. This "quirk" even attracted the attention of the league: in 2010, they issued a special rule prohibiting public figures from biting straws in the game, and then completely banned carbonated drinks from playing due to health considerations. If you think about it carefully, this ban seems to be tailor-made for this "strawer king". In the summer of 2002, Caron Butler lost the 46th pick in the second round, but stood out through training camp and successfully signed into the Wizards. With his explosive power and mid-range shots, he quickly won the trust of the coach and became an important rotation of the team. In 2006, Arenas and Crittanton were about to break out in the locker room, but only Butler stepped forward and calmly separated the two sides, showing his leadership and courage different from ordinary forward players. After moving to the Bucks, Pacers, Heat, Clippers and other teams, Butler ushered in the peak of his career with the Dallas Mavericks in 2011. He played the role of "terminator" many times in the playoffs, contributing key scoring and defense to the team. Even though his fate is ill-fated, his injuries and doubts are constantly being questioned, he always maintains his fighting spirit and humility; behind the steady data of 14.1 points and 5 rebounds per game is a tough guy who refuses to admit defeat.

Caron Butler's story tells us: origin does not determine the destination, and every moment you bite the straw is a reshaping of yourself. Whether it is the "quirk" of biting straws or the ups and downs of career trajectory, he uses his actions to interpret what "survival is a desperate situation". Today, he may have faded out of the spotlight, but the straw that once accompanied him through obstacles still shines with an unyielding light in the depths of fans' memories.
