Tuff Juice: My Journey from the Streets to the NBA

Updated with a new afterword covering the incredible reception of the book from Hollywood, the sports world, and youth organizations, this is the story of two-time All-Star and thirteen-year NBA veteran Caron Butler. He was Big East Co-Player of the Year at UConn, the 10th overall pick of the 2002 NBA Draft and a key player for the Dallas Mavericks in their championship-winning season in 2011. But before Butler had a chance to prove himself on the court, he spent his time trying to prove himself on the streets, as a gang member and drug dealer in his hometown of Racine, Wisconsin. Now in paperback, Tuff Juice shares Caron Butler's extraordinary journey from his delinquent youth in the streets of Racine to his role as an accomplished pro basketball player, dedicated husband and father, active philanthropist and burgeoning businessman.
