- Bam Adebayo pointed out that the Miami Heat have had a lot of playoff success
- The star noted that no other East team can match what the Heat have done
- It was also pointed out that 60% of the team is undrafted
The Miami Heat have been one of the better teams of the 2020s when we talk about having playoff success. The team made the NBA Finals in 2020 and 2023, and at this point, it is fair to say that they deserve the benefit of the doubt in the postseason even if they aren’t a top-tier regular season team consistently.
Recently, we saw Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo say that the team deserves more respect. The big man pointed out what the Heat have managed to accomplish in the last four seasons, and noted that the team did all of that while having many undrafted players.
“We’ve been to two Finals in the last four years. We’ve been to three Eastern Conference Finals in the last four years, and I don’t think anybody else in the East has done that in the last four years. And we’re doing it with 60% of our roster being undrafted… That should be a bigger story than it is.”

There is no doubt that the Miami Heat are one of the most impressive franchises when it comes to development and discipline. In fact, coach Erik Spoelstra once likened the Heat players to Navy SEALs, noting that they are always ready to compete. Their culture is a huge part of their success, and it is clear that they foster a competitive environment.
Bam Adebayo was a key part of the Miami Heat’s 2023 Finals run, averaging 17.9 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game in the playoffs. He does a lot for the team defensively, and hopefully, we see the team get back to the NBA Finals again next year.
The Miami Heat Could Add Christian Wood In Free Agency
Even though the main free agency period is over, there are still some good players that remain unsigned. One of those players is Christian Wood, a solid offensive big man who averaged 16.6 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 1.8 assists while shooting 37.6% from 3PT range. The Miami Heat were linked with Christian Wood in free agency earlier this summer, and it we will see whether they will follow through with signing him.
A recent report revealed that Christian Wood is interested in a potential role with the Miami Heat, and it is clear that both parties have some degree of mutual interest. He would be a great frontcourt fit next to Bam Adebayo, and perhaps Wood will end up in a Heat jersey ahead of the start of the season.
