Miami Heat star Tyler Herro explains how president Pat Riley's criticism helped him become a better player unlike Jimmy Butler.

Butler was said to be “caught off guard” by the comments according to Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald. There have been many events that have led to the fractured relationship between Butler and the Heat with the one mentioned by Haynes being when the team questioned the effort level.

On Tuesday, NBA insider Chris Haynes reported that the Miami Heat president and his All-Star player have been at odds since the summer. Last May, Riley rebuked Butler for comments he made about the Boston Celtics while injured and things never recovered.
