本來這一期視頻僅僅想介紹巴特勒的大學生涯，不想介紹他的早年生活。最終，為了【球員故事】的完整性，我還是決定增加了這個部分。

為什么？

"I'm just asking you, don't write it in a way that makes people feel sorry for me. I hate that.

There's nothing to feel sorry about. I love what happened to me. It made me who I am. I'm grateful for the challenges I've faced.

Please, don't make them feel sorry for me."

我請求你，不要以一種讓人們感到傷心的方式來寫。我不喜歡那樣。

沒什么好傷心的。我喜歡在我身上發(fā)生的事情。這樣我成為了現(xiàn)在的樣子。

我感恩我曾面對的挑戰(zhàn)。

求求了，不要讓人們?yōu)槲腋械诫y過。

關(guān)于巴特勒的早年生涯，被生母拋棄的故事。在國內(nèi)經(jīng)常被媒體訴說和歌頌，確實是非常勵志的故事。但是巴特勒似乎并不喜歡這段往事，也很少提及。

2011年，在選秀前的ESPN采訪中，他第一次談?wù)撍纳硎馈?/span>

大家同樣可以參考NBC制作的紀錄片《Jimmy Butler: The Long, Winding Road》

在2015年Chicago雜志這篇文章《It’s Good to Be Jimmy Butler》中，巴特勒說過他討厭過去，他不希望被這段歷史所定義。

"It's because I don't ever want that to define me," he says. "I hated it whenever it came up because that's all anybody ever wanted to talk about. Like, that hasn't gotten me to where I am today. I'm a great basketball player because of my work. I'm a good basketball player because of the people I have around me. And if I continue to be stuck in the past, then I won't get any better. I won't change, I'll get stuck as that kid. That's not who I am. I'm so far ahead of that. I don't hold grudges. I still talk to my family. My mom. My father. We love each other. That's never going to change." In fact, the day I visited Butler, his father was staying with him.
