Kobe fans acting like DWade is DeMar DeRozan or something. DWade looked Kobe in the eye many times and outplayed him. He won a finals MVP before him. He led the 2008 Olympic team in scoring while coming off the bench. Yall lucky he had glass knees
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."
Got Kawhi KD Bron and Giannis praising him. Got Michael Jordan texting him. Got career role players, Publix bag boys and failed media members slandering him. Yall tell me which one holds more weight
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!”

Rich Paul ask the world to put themselves in Bams shoes after he received criticism for scoring 83 points:
“Let’s everyone put themselves in Bams shoes. A kid who grew up single mom, trailer park in North Carolina. Just trying to figure it out. This kid gets pretty good at basketball. Goes to Kentucky for one year. Gets drafted probably later than what he should’ve been but luckily for him falls to an unbelievable organization. The Miami Heat. Been to the finals twice. Been an All Star. Been a gold medalist. He’s done all this as a hard hat, lunch pail, steel toe boots type of player. This guy gets to shine one night on the offensive end. His mom is in the crowd, his lady A’ja is in the crowd. He gets to shine. One night, after he’s built this house, built this building. Why aren’t we happy for Bam Adebayo? Let’s celebrate it! This don’t diminish Kobe 81”
