Butler to Rep Lima in the ABA! - Big news hit in early March 2011 when the ABA expansion Lima Explosion announced Jamar Butler as their first signed player for the upcoming inaugural season! J-But is of course widely known for his prestigious (2004) Ohio Mr. Basketball award following his Senior season at Shawnee High School of Lima, Ohio.The former Buckeye star was last seen in Germany (early fall 2010) preparing for the 2010/2011 season, but a shoulder injury kept him out of action for the rest of the calender year. A fully recovered Butler now takes on the opportunity of representing his hometown in the American Basketball Association.
The Lima Explosion are one of several new expansion clubs slated to play in the 2011/2012 ABA season. The 30 game regular season will begin in November 2011.Butler on playing in Lima again -
“I never thought I would be, It’s a blessing in disguise. I’m anxious to get at it and start playing some games.”(More info - links)

J.B. was about to do work before the injury- Jamar was coming off a good 2009/2010 season prior to being sidelined for the latter part of 2010. He gained valuable experience in the tough Greek League & also participated in the Bosnian Playoffs. We can't wait to see Butler back on the court for the Lima Explosion!"It's been a long & bumpy road, but you know (i'm) just happy to be signed with the team" - Jamar Butler
