(CBSMiami)- Miami Heat guard Jimmy Butler became a father in October 2019 with the birth of his daughter Rylee. Like every parent, Butler’s perspective on life has shifted since welcoming Rylee to the world. In an interview published in GQ Thursday, the Heat guard explained some of the lessons he’s hoping to impart to Rylee.

“I got to make sure that women are on the same level as men now, because that’s what I’m going to teach her,” Butler said. “Anything a man can do, you can do. With my blood running through your veins, we’re not intimidated by anybody, no matter what color their skin is, if they’re male, female, how tall they are, how fast.
