OT: Caron Butler on Colin Cowherd's show

[LStudfellow]

Frankly, he represents our University extremely well.

Looks great, particularly in his studious glasses and sharp, conservative suit and he is well-spoken talking about all of the different topics/players around the league.

Jumped from Russell Westbrook to John Wall to Blake Griffin to David Fizdale to Golden State to Chris Paul without missing a beat, and had informative thoughts and opinions on each and every topic. Even showed a quick wit in the last exchange with Colin.

I could not be prouder of him and what he has become as a man. What a great ambassador for our team and our University!

Always thought he'd be good on TV in the analyst/commentator role.

 

[superjohn]

He comes across very well on TV and he has as good a reputation around the league as anyone, if he wants to be a TV guy there is a job waiting for him. He will do really well post playing career. He owns a bunch of Wendy's restaurants and he will be working with Marky Mark to bring his life story to the big screen.

Actually Burger King restaurants (Caron Butler used to work at a Burger King, now owns six).

I hear August_West is trying to get him to buy some Arby's restaurants.

 

[RichZ]

He owns a bunch of Wendy's restaurants

Burger Kings, I believe.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Ever since he kicked his Mountain Dew habit his oral hygeine has improved

Well Fox is trying to up their basketball analyst game, adding Gottlieb and all. ESPN downsizing and Fox trying to take advantage.

Confirmed?

Sounds ridiculous. Marky Mark's like 5 foot 8.

[Pulls up from three]: Say hi to your motha for me!

Marky Mark as a Producer not in an acting capacity. Perhaps he would play some side chatacter.

Marky Mark is an extremely successful producer/ player in Hollywood. Entourage is but one of his big hits.

Just shocked August wasn't the first to make this correction. His bailiwick and all.

That's right, was confusing him with Junior Bridgeman who owns a couple hundred Wendy's.

 

[imno1]

Gee maybe we can get Caron to coach our bigs

They aren't sure yet if Marky Mark will play Caron or if they will go with Peter Dinklage.

In all seriousness, weren't the rumors that they wanted Michael B. Jordan--who's much closer to 5'8" than 6'7"--to do it?

 

[JSM1970]

Caron is still my fav UConn player ever

His 2nd half performance in 2003 E8 the best ever

Awesome dude

I think Caron has said that that's his preference a couple times. You would hope they could find someone who bears at least a faint resemblance and is more than six feet tall.

2002. 2003 UConn lost to Texas in the Sweet 16.

 

[Yankees32123]

2002. 2003 UConn lost to Texas in the Sweet 16.

And Caron averaged 15 ppg for the Miami Heat.

 

[superjohn]

I would like them to get Michael Rapaport to play Caron. There is no bigger NBA fan in the acting world, he can play a little, he looks a little like him, and he's much closer in height to Caron than Michael B. Jordan is.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

He's too long in the tooth now but Will Smith would have been good. Maybe Sterling K. Brown (unfortunately same named as a UConn hoops nemesis). Or maybe that dude who played Jesus Shuttlesworth?

my all-time favorite player, just loved his toughness

If they only hire short actors this shouldn't be an issue.

 

[RM99]

Caron Butler is an amazing person. I always enjoyed watching him play at Connecticut and was intrigued by his past. When his book was published I immediately bought it and thought it should be made into a movie. The story is about his journey from poverty and drugs to success as a individual . Caron pays back to his community and from following on Instagram he spends time with his family and writes "family first" as a theme. He is one of UCONN's best ambassadors. I recommend everyone read Tuff Juice.

 

[Bryan Lord]

Avon barksdale should play Caron.

 

[Walker11]

Caron was on the Ryen Russillo show today. He was excellent, once again. He is well thought out and actually provides good NBA analysis, which you can't say about all ex-players. I hope to see him and Rip in the mix as the years pass. One point that was really hard for me to buy - He played Tony Romo in HS and says that he was a fantastic player and could have been a pro if he focused on that sport.

Romo has a silky jump shot:
