Before the 2011 draft, one NBA general manager said about Butler, "His story is one of the most remarkable I\'ve seen in all my years of basketball. There were so many times in his life where he was set up to fail. Every time, he overcame just enormous odds. When you talk to him—and he\'s hesitant to talk about his life—you just have this feeling that this kid has greatness in him."\n', '
