The most disgraceful performance in NBA history. Just for context:
- Bam's a career 16 PPG scorer.
- Washington Wizards were 16-47, 14th in the East.
- Bam shot an NBA-record 43 free throws.
- Miami led by 28 in the fourth and STILL intentionally fouled up 27 with under two minutes left to get Bam more points.
Still disappointed in Spo for letting this bullshit happen. Passing 81 doesn't put this performance in the same conversation as Kobe's.
Kobe dropped 55 after halftime to bring the Lakers back from down 18.
Jimmy Butler PRAISES Bam Adebayo for scoring 83 🥹
“Good for him. 83 is a lot of points and he’s a crazy talented player. He can do everything incredibly well. Good for him. 83 is historic”
I’m shedding tears right now

Players in NBA history with 20+ PTS, 15+ REB, and 9+ AST in a game with less than 25 minutes played:
- Giannis Antetokounmpo (tonight)
That's it. No other player had ever achieved this statline in under 25 MP in NBA history in either regular season or preseason. 💯
“League sources have been wondering if former Sixers minority owner Michael Rubin flipped LeBron — convinced him to sign with the Sixers at Fanatics Fest.”

Giannis Antetokounmpo says he’s having fun with the Miami Heat:
“Obviously the more I play with my teammates and the team — I’m getting more comfortable…I’m just going to play hard — my teammates and coaching staff wants me to be aggressive…I’m having fun, the team is playing well, our offense looks good, defensively we gotta do a better job but 145 points sounds good to me.”
