Kevin Garnett says he gets DISAPPOINTED whenever he watches Bam Adebayo and questions what he worked on in the summer:
“I used Bam because I love watching him. I like his style but I’m watching the league of young guys. I’m watching Mobley, I’m watching Bam, and each time I watch him I see him with guys who never played in the league and I go ‘damn, I want to see what Bam brought this year that’s going to make him one of the best bigs this year.’ I get so disappointed when I go away with what I’m expecting to see, vs what I’m looking at. That tells me, you did nothing in the summer. — From guys to go from 1.0 to 2.0, you got to go to somebody that gives you league sh*t to take you to a advantage.”
Udonis Haslem says he kept it real with Bam Adebayo and told him he’s not Joel Embiid
“You’re a effort and energy guy, that has All Star talent. You’re not Joel Embiid. Joel Embiid can go out there on one knee and get 30. You got to bring that sh*t every night. You can get your 30, but you have to bring that sh*t every night to get your 30. That’s who you are. And that’s ok to be that guy.”
