Starting5 Speak With Chicago’s Jimmy Butler (VIDEO)

Once we quizzed Nate about Jimmy Butler perhaps entering the 2013 Slam Dunk contest, it was only fitting to go to the man himself to get his thoughts on whether entering the weekend’s gala event is on his mind.

Butler, by all accounts, is a more than capable dunker at Bulls practice and has been known to do some pretty spectacular things behind closed doors. Now, it’s time for the youngster to let the rest of the world see what his teammates have known for some time. We also asked Butler his thoughts on the Nets new arena. Check what he had to say below and tell your thoughts, is Jimmy Butler a player you would like to see? If not, who else would be fitting for the dunk competition?

Is Nate right? Would Jimmy win under Robinson’s tutelage?
