Caron Butler is on his second career in basketball, following up a 14-year playing career in the NBA with a foray into coaching as an assistant with the Miami Heat.

Along the way, Butler has also looked to use his platform to impact the community, highlighting his journey from the streets of Racine, Wisconsin where he was arrested for drug and gun possession as a minor to the NBA, and fighting for criminal justice reform throughout his career. Most recently, Butler published the first book in a new series aimed at middle grade kids titled Shot Clock, which tells the story of a kid who loses his best friend to police violence and looks to carry on his legacy through basketball.
