Former NBA player Rasual Butler died early Wednesday morning in a single-car c
rash in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles County coroner’s office confirmed. Butle
r was 38.
According to TMZ Sports, who first reported the news, Butler was driving in th
e Studio City section of L.A. when he “lost control of his Range Rover around
2 AM, struck a parking meter and slammed into a wall.” The vehicle was “tra
veling at speeds two to three times higher than the limit,” L.A. police told
NBC Los Angeles. Police officials are still investigating the cause of the cra
sh. NBC reported that there was a woman with Butler at the time of his crash.
TMZ reported that it was his wife, former “American Idol” contestant and R&B
singer Leah LaBelle.
短翻：
前NBA球員Rasual Butler於美國時間周三凌晨在洛杉磯與他的妻子Leah LaBelle一同死於
車禍。
洛杉磯警方仍在調查事故原因，但是據信Butler夫婦在車子撞到路旁的收費計並撞到牆壁
前，行程速度是速限的兩到三倍。
Rasual Butler 今年38歲，是2002年熱火的2輪24順位秀。在NBA一共打滾了13個球季，加
入過8支球隊。生涯平均上場21.3分鐘，可以得到7.5分2.4籃板。
心得：
Butler的巔峰應該是在05-09紐奧良黃蜂時期吧，跟CP3同隊的時候有個10分3板、3分命中
率36%的數據。
雖然最後一年是在馬刺，但是生涯後段讓人有感的出賽紀錄應該是是14-15的巫師隊，當
時在場上是個有影響力的3D老將。
