Bam Adebayo is one of the best defensive big men in the league, and there is no doubt that he has developed into an All-Star level player. He has been thriving with the Miami Heat this year and has been key for them on both ends of the floor.
Every single player has teams they dislike, and the same is no different for Bam Adebayo. Recently, the star explained that he dislikes the Boston Celtics, stating that it’s mostly because he competes against childhood friend Jayson Tatum in those matchups.
“I don’t like the Boston Celtics and it’s mainly because obviously Jayson Tatum,” Adebayo said. “I’ve known JT since we were 12. Obviously, when we play each other it’s a dog fight, like I want to be like dog like I have more wins than you like that’s how I am. It’s a personal battle right there. I wanna at the end of our careers (and) be like, ‘Well, when we played you this many times, Bam has more wins including regular season, playoffs.’ Whatever you want to say. I’m Top Dog.”
This makes sense from Bam Adebayo’s perspective, as he is a fierce competitor who wants to win at all costs. This is the sort of mindset one needs to have to win at the highest level.
Bam Adebayo is averaging 21.2 PPG, 9.8 RPG, and 3.2 APG for the Miami Heat right now while shooting 53.6% from the field. His two-way play will be crucial for the Heat in the playoffs, and hopefully, his improved offense translates to the postseason.
Jimmy Butler Thinks He, Bam Adebayo, And Tyler Herro Can Win A Championship Together
The Miami Heat are currently the 7th seed in the Eastern Conference, but the team definitely has a lot of talent. Previously, Jimmy Butler stated that he sees himself winning a championship with Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro.
“Honestly, I see a lot of myself when you talk about the career path and trajectory of everything,” Butler said. “They’ve figured it out. They realized that they belong in this league. They’re constantly proving that they belong in this league. Not only that, they’ve gotten better every single year, and they’re gonna continue to get better every single year. And before you know it, we’re all going to end up winning a championship together because I don’t plan on going anywhere. Tyler doesn’t plan on going anywhere. Bam doesn’t plan on going anywhere, so we’re gonna have to figure it out.”
This year, it is definitely easy to see the Miami Heat turning into one of those “frisky” lower-seed teams that could give contenders some trouble in a series. They are a disciplined team with great defense, and it’ll be intriguing to see how they perform in the playoffs.
Hopefully, the Miami Heat are able to get far this season. They recently lost four games in a row prior to their win against the Philadelphia 76ers, and consistency will be key for them ahead of the playoffs.
