The Jimmy Butler saga has taken another turn with his seven-game suspension by the Miami Heat. Heat's long-serving president Pat Riley has been in the firing line since the decision to suspend Butler was made, with Boston Celtics legend Paul Pierce accusing him of ruining the well-known 'Heat Culture.'
Paul Pierce, speaking on a Friday episode of Fox's "Speak on FS1," was blunt with his assessment of the whole Jimmy Butler saga. While he acknowledged the role of Pat Riley in shaping the so-called 'Heat Culture,' he listed out the past role Pat Riley has played in slowly destroying the culture.
"I think Heat culture lives ... Pat Riley brought Heat culture," Paul Pierce said on Speak on FS1. "And what I want to say about that, I think he's slowly destroying Heat culture."
