Bivši NBA igrač poginuo u prometnoj nesreći u Studio Cityju

Rasual Butler dobro je poznato ime svim ljubiteljima NBA lige, do prije godinu i pol još uvijek je bio aktivan igrač, a nakon završetka ugovora sa San Antonio Spursima povukao se u mirovinu.

Danas je stigla tužna vijest, Butler i njegova supruga Leah LaBelle poginuli su u prometnoj nesreći u Studio Cityju.

Butler je u NBA ligu došao 2002. godine nakon što ga je u drugoj rundi drafta izabrao Miami, a tijekom karijere nastupao je i za New Orleans, Clipperse, Chicago Bullse, Toronto Raptorse, Indianu, Washington i na kraju Spurse.

Najbolju sezonu imao je u dresu Clippersa kada je 2009/2010 sezone ubacivao u prosjeku gotovo 12 poena po susretu, a karijeru je završio s prosjekom od 7.5 poena i 851 odigranom NBA utakmicom.

Saddened by the news and the loss of Rasual Butler and his wife Leah. Talk about a great dude and family man. I know he had many stops during his 13 year NBA journey, but he was beloved becasue of his work ethic in Indiana. New guardian Angels..
