      Pretty incredible that in the four seasons he’s played in Miami they’ve been in the finals twice and the conference finals once considering that the majority of those rosters are undrafted players. He really did prove that he was undervalued in how he was seen at the time. Even Philly caved to Ben Simmons since he wanted the ball over Jimmy and he left to go to Miami. And now we see what happened with Ben. If he does end up getting a ring with Miami it’ll be one of the top “bet on yourself and prove all the doubters wrong” stories especially if we see Philly not get one by the time he does. He already proved they made a mistake in handling him like they did to appease Simmons but at the time Simmons was an all star and he was seen as the future so it wasn’t nearly as wild of a choice to have made at that specific time. But while it’s clear they made the wrong call already it’ll truly be hammered home all the way if he wins it all with Miami and a roster that hasn’t been stocked full of all stars like a Philly has been and has made moves to grab stars like we saw with harden that didn’t pan out.

      That's what the passion for the game and the competitive character.
      If that doesn’t exist maybe Lebron wouldn't make it to the finals with the Cavs, Derrick Rose wouldn't even be playing nowadays, Butler wouldn’t carry on Miami to the finals...
      Seems like the new NBA talent doesn't work enough. Just want to have cool stats, and that’s why players like Westbrook won't win a championship in his life

    Nothing wrong with what Butler is doing. Wiggins and Towns are a couple of guys who are happy just putting up their stats, and living out their max contracts. They have zero competitive toughness, and you'll never win anything with their type of mentality. Butler is absolutely in the right.

    • @jasonvoorhees3666
      @jasonvoorhees3666 5 ปีที่แล้ว +35

      He's using KAT and Wiggins' effort as a false narrative. He's just pissy because they got paid and he didn't. If he wanted to win he wouldn't have asked to be traded to shitty teams that can afford to give him the most money. He asked to be traded to the Nets and Knicks, which are two of the worst teams in the league. What's even worse though, is the fact that so many people think he's in the right, smh. The guy is a joke.

    here’s what Rondo had to say about Jimmy Butler a year ago: “My vets would never go to the media. They would come to the team. My vets didn't pick and choose when they wanted to bring it. They brought it every time they stepped in the gym whether it was practice or a game. They didn't take days off. My vets didn't care about their numbers. My vets played for the team. When we lost, they wouldn't blame us. They took responsibility and got in the gym. They showed the young guys what it meant to work. Even in Boston when we had the best record in the league, if we lost a game, you could hear a pin drop on the bus. They showed us the seriousness of the game. My vets didn't have an influence on the coaching staff. They couldn't change the plan because it didn't work for them. I played under one of the greatest coaches, and he held everyone accountable. It takes 1-15 to win. When you isolate everyone, you can't win consistently. I may be a lot of things, but I'm not a bad teammate. My goal is to pass what I learned along. The young guys work. They show up. They don't deserve blame. If anything is questionable, it's the leadership”

    Everyone on the TWolves has handled this so badly, its a joke. First of all, if Butler was really such a great player and leader, he should have been able to rally those guys to get the most out of them. Instead, he probably gave them some passive aggressive BS about not working hard enough. Jimmy Butler works hard, but that attitude is not getting him anywhere. Second, those other guys are just acting like babies. They're young, but come on, Butler should have gotten more respect from them. Third, Thibbs really should have been able to dampen this a lot more. Most of this should never have touched the media the way it has. A good leader is able to manage all kinds of personalities and get the most out of them, even when those parties might not like each other so much.

    In this generation where opinion and fact have the same value. I come to find the word honesty to run into the same dilemma. Being aggressive and brutal with people even if there is some truth to what you say is not how to conduct yourself as a leader. Why is it we excused that behavior and chastise the opposite? Constructive criticism and being demonstrative are not the same thing. It's easy to say "jimmy is right, he is telling it like it is.." yet the majority of people would not respond well to that approach. In fact that approach and Leadership will get you reprimanded in most jobs.

      Sal Garcia I agree. I think people just like to side with toughness but they don't see that this whole thing just makes Jimmy even more disliked by players. Today's NBA is not like the 90s where a teammate can scold another player and it's ok. Kyrie said the other day that leadership is about empowering your teammates. Steph curry does that without criticizing. People love playing with him. I also think jimmy is jealous of Kat and Wiggins. They have more natural talent, don't have to work as hard as he does, and get paid more. And they are having fun.
