Denver Native (Carol)

What brought NBA All-Star and Chicago Bulls forward Jimmy Butler to Denver for the Broncos' season opener seemed unclear.
A Texas native who has resided in the Midwest since his years at Marquette University, Butler doesn't appear to have geographical ties to the area, and a quick search through his social media didn't reveal any previous mentions of the Broncos. As Butler stood on the sideline during pregame warmups in his Demaryius Thomas jersey, it simply looked like another example of a professional athlete wanting to experience what the Broncos bring on game days.
And while that may have been partially true, why Butler really came to Denver goes well beyond the surface. A deep-seated connection between Butler and Thomas has tied the two together and formed a bond that affirms the defining drive behind their success.
