Miami Heat team president Pat Riley added Jimmy Butler to the list of future Hall of Famers he's challenged in the offseason

It's been nearly a week since Miami Heat team president Pat Riley shook up the NBA with his comments regarding star Jimmy Butler.

"For him to say that, I thought 'Is that Jimmy trolling or is that Jimmy serious?'" Riley said. "If you're not on the court playing against Boston or on the court playing against the New York Knicks, you should keep your mouth shut and your criticism of those teams." "This stuff is hard," Riley said. "And you've got to stay together if you've got the guts and you don't find the first door and run out of it if you've got an opportunity."

Riley did the same with future Hall of Famer Kyle Lowry in 2022. He questioned Lowry's commitment to conditioning after he spent the season battling weight issues.
