Bam on the unethical comments about his 83:
"If I have 70, with 9 minutes to go, who would go 'ok coach, take me out!'... If you get that close to chasing greatness, thats the point of chasing so you can surpass it... They gonna talk about FTs... Watch the film, I was legitimately getting fouled!"
"It ain’t [Bam’s] fault that the Washington Wizards are trash. ... I'm not blaming Bam Adebayo for that. Congrats to him. It's his moment."
