I understand, but I guess my point is that they shouldn't be respected if they are not staying in shape and disciplining themselves. They're not respecting themselves or their teammates and fans.
The Warriors management, and the Warriors commentators, protect them from any type of scrutiny. They get a pass, while Cappy and others pick on the young players. Doesn't seem quite fair, as guys like Matulino, Tompkins, Manu, are off limits to criticism. To me, that's part of the problem. If those senior guys aren't doing their job, they need to be confronted and plan put into place to change it.
