15-year NBA veteran and father of five, Caron Butler is teaming up with the NBPA Foundation who filmed a great piece of him and his son – JC, who happens to be one of the best high school basketball players in the country, as a sophomore! The video is part of their ongoing #EverydayDad campaign, which was launched to celebrate fathers and fatherhood.
The #EverydayDad series is a key initiative of the NBPA Foundation, launched to celebrate fathers and fatherhood and to provide inspiration for fans to celebrate their own relationships with their dads and their kids.
Overwhelmingly, the more than 450 men who play in the NBA attribute their success to the family members who sacrificed to get them where they are. But, no one really talks about them as fathers; that is, in the simple, human terms of dads who care. For those players who are dads, the emotions run deep.
Players have told the NBPA Foundation that it is when they’re with their children that they fully understand and appreciate the love and sacrifice of their fathers and the men that have served in that role.
Check out Caron’s video below and follow him at @caronbutler (on Instagram) and @realtuffjuice (on Twitter).
Use the hashtags #EverydayDad #FathersDay2017 when sharing this video! Plus look out for the interview I did with Caron about fatherhood coming soon to Life of Dad. For more on the this great campaign go to the NBPA Foundation website HERE!
