49ers and 12-time Pro-Bowl LT Trent Williams reached agreement today on a two-year, $50 million extension that now contractually ties him to San Francisco through the 2027 season, per @eliteloyaltysp.
Bam GOES OFF on the "unethical" comments about his 83:
"You're blaming me. You should be blaming the head coach. I was not the one who let me go one on one the whole game until I had 70 then you sent the double. At that point, I had 70 with 9 mins to go. You think I'm not going for it?"
"That's the thing that's crazy when they talk about unethical part of the basketball. If I have 70 w 9 mins to go, who would be like, coach just take me out? Yeah, right!"
"You can't be mad at that. If you are mad, I don't care. A lot of people, they're upset. If they did play, they never got the chance to get that close to chasing greatness. If you get that close, that's the point of chasing it -- so you can surpass it."
Dwyane Wade on the criticism Bam is receiving for scoring 83:
“I don’t think Bam gonna give his 83 points back. We all want things to look a certain way. If it don’t, we be like ‘nope, asterisk.’ When you think of somebody scoring 83,
You think of BUCKETS being put on somebody head. You think of 3s, pull ups, tough shots. You have this vision in your mind of what 83 points look like. Then you see 36/43 from FT line and 7/22 from 3 and you’re like ‘ain’t no way. Unacceptable!’ This is what I hate for Bam, let’s take away the last 5 minutes of the game, Bam played an incredible basketball game. The first 3 quarters, was the best individual performance we seen this year in the NBA. Then the last 5 minutes, it becomes a spectacle…. It didn’t end how we wanted it to but that’s not a Bam problem. Bam did what Bam was supposed to do. I’m on this floor trying to get the W and go for the record books! The man had 83, However he got It. YOU CANT GET 83 AT LIFETIME FITNESS RIGHT NOW!”
