Jimmy Butler said in the interview, "We all know our roles. Knowing that Stephen is the central ace, we totally recognize that. On any given night, I could be second choice, as could JK or Draymond, but we know who Stephen is and it's our job to help him.

I don't have an ego. Not being first choice for the team is something I fully accept. I'm aware of my role and I know who I am as a human being - as a basketball player and as a businessman. I've opened my arms to Curry, Draymond and Kerr and I'm ready to go. It's a veteran's realization. The most important thing is to realize that ego only gets in the way and that ego is the real enemy."
