Ex-NBA star Caron Butler says his close friend Kobe Bryant was a big inspiration in writing his kids book, 'Shot Clock.'
"He did like a little moment with me prior to him passing," Tuff Juice tells us."We connected and we talked about the writing process and how it's so tough to be authentic and clear and real, but it's exactly what the kids need.""He always told me to 'Tell your truth, be brave and people gonna accept it or reject it, but be brave in that process,'" he added.
Butler says he made a promise to Kobe that his second act would be"far better, more profound" than his playing career ... a vow he also disclosed with Bryant's wife,The book is deep ... and reflects what Caron really went through in life -- from traveling the world to run-ins with law enforcement and losing friends to gun violence.
Butler says"Shot Clock" -- which hits shelves on September 6 -- will help readers pivot from their troubles and make it through adversity.
