Stop the fake outrage! 🛑
Kobe had to play the 4th to get 81, and Bam put in that same work for 40+ minutes of dominance. If you’re mad about stat-padding, you’re not paying attention to the game.
“Let the kids be great!”

Don’t forget when Michael Beasley said Bam Adebayo was the only person to ever beat him 1-on-1:
“Y’all don’t know how good Bam is”
Stop disrespecting Bam🗣️
Lou Williams on people complaining about Bam FTs during 83 point game:
“I got no complaints. No criticisms. We can make a case about the FTs but they were legitimate fouls. They couldn’t stop them. I didn’t see no flopping. A lot of them could’ve been And 1s if you ask my opinion.”

Flight goes OFF on haters criticizing Bam “Ad-a-Mayo” for scoring 83 points & breaking Kobe Bryant’s former 81 point record 😳👀
Flight says Bam should officially be in MVP talks and credited as one of the greatest players ever, surpassing Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, & Hakeem Olajuwon after tonight 💀😭
“Records are meant to be broken, if you got a problem with this you not a fan of sports.”
31 in the 1Q.
12 in the 2Q.
19 in the 3Q.
21 in the 4Q.
Those are one player's stats from one game tonight 🤯
WATCH EVERY SINGLE ONE OF BAM'S 83 POINTS 🍿
Giannis Antetokounmpo on Bam Adebayo's 83 point game:
"It doesn't matter how you get there. All that matters is that you got it. Like in 30 years from now, nobody's going to remember how many free throws he shot. I don't think I remember how many shots Kobe had or how many free throws he made or threes. All you remember is 81. Wilt, 100. You don't remember how they scored. So, at the end of the day, he got 83 points."
Chiney Ogwumike on people criticizing Bam 83 point game:
“First, I don’t care about the qualifiers. I’m going to describe this performance in one word. It’s INSPIRATIONAL. It’s a global pause button. You stop what you’re doing, you pick up your remote and you change the channel and watch an All time great performance. That’s what the entire world did. This was years of hard work and dedication to come to this one performance. This is a guy who’s not designed to have this output to drop 83 but his work ethic showed that anything is possible!”

Miami Heat and swingman Myron Gardner have reached an agreement on a three-year deal, his agent Jake Cohen of Iconic Sports Management tells me. The undrafted rookie earns a standard deal after playing stellar on a two-way contract.
