Is Jimmy Butler really Michael Jordan’s son?
Following Jimmy Butler’s outstanding performance in leading the Miami Heat to eliminate the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals, many are drawing comparisons between him and Michael Jordan.
However, along with this comes a bizarre rumor that Butler is Jordan’s son, which is once again gaining traction on social media platforms such as TikTok and Twitter. Despite the fact that this rumor has no basis in fact, it continues to spread across the internet due to Butler’s impressive gameplay during the playoffs.
Butler’s family history is just one part of the story. His father left when he was young, and his mother even kicked him out of the house.
Despite these hardships, Jimmy Butler remains in contact with both his parents. The rumor about Butler being Jordan’s son originated back in 2016 and was based on a false report that Jordan had an unidentified son.
Jordan has never acknowledged any illegitimate child, and the irony of this particular rumor is that Butler wasn’t even born until the year after the alleged child in question. But that’s what the internet does, it recycles the same stories over and over again.
