"You don't disrespect authority and that's what Jimmy Butler has been doing. And I will tell you this: This boat is going to sail on top of the water as long as Pat Riley there. Jimmy Butler is trying to sink that ship. That ship is not going to sink." Tim Hardaway Sr. emphasizes the importance of respecting authority within the team, pointing to Jimmy Butler's actions as detrimental and indicating that the organization will remain strong regardless of individual behavior.
"These guys can't take rejection, and that's what it's all about. It's about accountability. If you can't take rejection because everything has been saying, 'yes yes yes yes yes,' to you, now you're upset that the world is coming to an end and, 'Now I can't play because he's not going to give me the money that I want.'" Hardaway critiques Butler's reaction to perceived rejection, focusing on the need for players to accept accountability when faced with challenges.
