Caron Butler

Bio

What does it take to be "tough"? Some believe it's the ability to harm others, while others believe it's that you're not to be easily broken. The latter probably best describes the brand of toughness owned by Caron "Tough Juice" Butler. Anchored by his motto of "determination, dedication and discipline", Caron has a game that takes on all comers. By being able to score inside and outside as well as defend in the post and on the perimeter, Caron's play is as solid as it gets. However, his greatest strength may in fact be his ability lead by example — both on and off the court. Which by most people's estimates is a tough thing to do.
