Dragic said of Butler during the 44-minute podcast: “For me, I even talked to some guys. I said, ‘How did that even come out with the media or players that Jimmy is a bad guy?’ I don’t know. If I’m honest, I really don’t know. He wants to win. “Jimmy is one of those players that he’s going to call you out. If you’re not doing your job, he’s going to call you out. As professional players, we need that. He’s our leader. Everybody knows that. It’s nothing personal. He’s here to win and we’re here to win. Maybe other organizations with those young fellas, they couldn’t handle that. I think they’re wrong. Everybody needs to be vulnerable and everybody needs to accept criticism, too. … That’s how Jimmy operates and I love him for that.”
