Butler was selected for the 30th pick: chasing dreams and being petty & I am not as vengeful as him. I am very lucky to be selected

During his trip to China, Warriors star Butler accepted an exclusive interview with blogger @Telfair Tong and talked about the topic of being selected by the Bulls in 2011 at the 30th pick.

Q: Next, let's talk about you being selected by the Chicago Bulls.

Butler: What's the pick?

A: 30th pick (Butler smiled evilly).

Q: How did you feel when you were selected? Will you hold a grudge against all the teams that didn’t choose you like chasing a dream, or do you think you are very lucky?

Butler: Chasing dreams is really scrupulous, we have to explain this clearly first. He really holds grudges, but I am not like him, I am not as vengeful as him. I feel lucky to be selected by any team, and there are teams that are willing to give me a chance to help them get better.

I am lucky. It happened that the Chicago Bulls chose me. I have a group of very good veterans around me, such as MVP Ross and excellent coach Thibodeau. The Bulls are a top veteran team, and the city of Chicago is also very good.

So I never care about who was chosen in front of me, nor about who was chosen in back of me, I hope they all have a long and healthy career and everything is OK, I only focus on myself. And as the 30th pick, I think I performed very well.
