Warriors Champion Rips Jimmy Butler Critics

When the Golden State Warriors traded for Jimmy Butler , many, especially in the NBA media, didnt seem overconfident that it would drastically change the trajectory of the Warriors season.

The playoffs are still several weeks away, but the Warriors have gone 5-1 since Butlers arrival.

Suffice it to say, its proved to be a good start with Butler in uniform .

Yet, however successful Butler and the Warriors become as a unit, it might not be enough to keep the detractors and criticizers at bay.

Butler carries a track recorda persona of sorts.

Coming to his defense, Draymond Green recently bluntly threw Butlers critics overboard with his own harsh critique.

Warriors Champion Rips Jimmy Butler Critics Warriors Draymond Green Calls Those Frustrated With Jimmy Butlers Persona Losers Green calls them losers in the only way and fashion that Green canbluntly and adamantly.

Since Butlers arrival in The Bay, several Warriors personnel have come to the controversial superstars defense.

Steve Kerr has only spoken glowingly of Butler, as has Steph Curry .

However, no one has been louder in their support for Butler than Green.

Say what you want about Greens manner of speech, which took center stage during TNTs coverage of the All-Star game , but he knows how to ruffle feathers.

He did it again when speaking to those around and in the NBA, fellow players included, who get frustrated or fed up with Butler.

Green took to his podcast, The Draymond Green Show [6:00 mark], over the weekend to further support Butler but chastise those with issues with the former Miami Heat star.

Ill be honest with you.

I can see how people can get tired of Jimmy.

If youre not a basketball head, if you dont love this ____, and you dont over-communicate like Jimmy, dot every i and cross every t, losers would get frustrated with that.

If you dont love, eat, breathe this ____, and most importantly winning, you can get frustrated with that.

I can see in two weeks, three weeks however its been, how some people would get frustrated with Jimmy.

Because some people arent winners.

Green also went in on the rest of the league for being the opposite of Butler and why many arent and dont want to be like him.

For somebody who got one foot in, one foot out, because thats 70 per cent of the league, that dont really care if they win or they lose, I can see how you would be shell shocked to be afraid of that.

Taking It With A Grain of Salt Whether Greens claim that 70% of the league essentially doesnt care is debatable.

Hes not totally wrong in that there absolutely are players in the current NBA who come to a job every day and go home, and thats all basketball will ever be to them.

Is that necessarily wrong? Are they hurting the game by wanting to make money rather than compete for championships? Thats another debate entirely.
