He showed up to a C-ville kid's birthday party:

I didn't know who he was either. That's not because I'm a dumbass, but because I don't like that shit sport.

Look at the kid's house. How much did the dad pay Caron to show up? Even if they didn't pay him, their Type-A anal pestering of Butler was on the verge of stalking.

Maybe, but I would like to take the article and story on NBC4 as an accurate telling of the story. From everything that I have read about Caron Butler, he is a really decent guy who decided to do a nice thing without asking for a penny. This is not like the father in Potomac who paid %50K to have N'Sync show up for 30 minutes at his daughter's Bat Mitzvah.

Did they get a little pushy with multiple invitations? Maybe, but they kept the event quite and did not create a media circus. No one tried to use this for PR value and the story only came out days later from third-party sources.

There is a lot to be cynical about these days, especially with athletes, but this story shows the other side.

I might feel differently if it were a poor kid or sick kid at a hospital rather than a rich kid in Centreville.

Caron's voice does not match the way he looks. He sounds like Darth Vader. I bet his kids never talk back to him.
