Miami Heat: A Guiding Light For Golden State Warriors In The Face Of Adversity
As it’s currently unknown how such footage was obtained from the Warriors’ practice facility, the video, indeed, did involve both Warrior talents, one being their absolute vocal leader and defensive anchor and the other, a rising star who has added even more firepower one of the league’s greatest backcourts of all time.
From the revealed video evidence to the players who were involved, this isn’t a terrific look for Golden State, a winning organization. Nonetheless, this situation should shed light on how a team, like Miami, has been able to handle similar issues, both privately and publicly.
Miami is the epitome of a world-class organization and they continue to demonstrate it—year in and year out. If we’re looking at accountability from a Team Captain perspective, it all starts with Udonis Haslem, who’s held that role for almost two decades.
Yes, the 40-year-old who was involved in a sideline spat with Jimmy Butler last spring, as he was seen defending his longtime head coach, Erik Spoelstra.
As ugly as that scene looked on television, it’s worth noting that zero punches were thrown and no further discipline was needed. The Heat simply played on and focused on the ultimate goal at hand, as no grievances were held between Butler, Haslem, Spoelstra, or any players involved.
