Allow me to rant for a second
This is one of the most sorriest reports I’ve ever seen. And let’s assume it’s true.
Bam Adebayo is one of the best defensive players in the league and has been for years. Bam Adebayo also contributes on offense when needed. Bam Adebayo sacrificed parts of his game to be whatever Miami needs him to be. Bam Adebayo is humble and has never been an issue. Bam Adebayo is one of the easiest players to build around. Bam Adebayo embodies Heat culture and everything Pat Riley and Spo has entailed. Bam Adebayo is a big in the community and has done several tremendous things.
Bam Adebayo is real, and is an amazing human being. And in 2026, that is apparently a terrible thing.
Oh yeah, also, 83
NBA didn’t go back and review it to remove the points.
But when Max Strus stepped “out of bounds” while making a 3 in game 7, the refs decided to review it and remove the points.
Make it make sense…
Carmelo Anthony is TIRED of people disrespecting Dwyane Wade:
“D-Wade was a bad MFer. I don’t think people understand how bad of a MFer D-Wade was. I’m saying it with this much passion because you don’t hear that name come up in basketball amongst this younger generation…like how the f*ck are yall just erasing that? Like no we ain’t letting you erase that…he was probably the best at shot creation ability…arguably he was the best 2-guard in the league…one of the best superstar players to play without the ball…”

Kendrick Perkins fires back at Coach Spo saying LaMelo Ball should’ve been ejected:
“We can’t do this. Did Ball grab Bam Adebayo foot? Yes. Did he deserve to get ejected? No. Control what you can control. Do you realize the Miami Heat have been in the play in tournament for 4 consecutive seasons? Which is crazy. How bout winning games in the regular season so you don’t put yourself in position for 1 game elimination”
Dwyane Wade responds to Pat Bev saying James Harden is better than him:
“I don’t understand how you can have a conversation about me and state facts when you never as good as me… Pat, where is your facts to say that someone is better?… don’t you ever fix your mouth to say somebody is better than me when you wasn’t better than me at anything in this game of basketball. You can’t do that.”
Shannon Sharpe rips the coaches and players who are hating on Bam Adebayo for his 83 points, because he passed Kobe Bryant 81-point game. But they were all hyping and celebrating when Kobe dropped 60 points on 50 shots back in the day and how he didn’t get his teammates involved
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."
how kobe was being defended for his final 2 points up 18 with 45 seconds left
vs
how bam was being defended for his final 2 points up 24 with 1:23 left
Colin Cowherd on the criticism Bam is receiving for scoring 83 points:
“Bam Adebayo scored 83 points last night. Everybody is attacking him. This is what we do in America. The minute there’s success we have to tear everybody down. 83 is 83. He’s an excellent basketball player. When Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points his team was fouling the Knicks to get extra possessions. When Kobe scored 81 against an awful Raptors team, the Lakers led by 15 with 4:30 left and Kobe scored another 11. Bam had 31 in the 1st! 62 after 3 quarters! It was totally legitimate! Every star in this league has had the chance to play the Wizards and they don’t score 83!”
(Via @TheHerd)
Bam Adebayo played “ethical” hoops for damn near the entire game. After his 70th point, Miami saw what was possible, and Spo left him in. The free throw count was valid. Wizards were hacking that man all night. So, again, what exactly are y’all mad at? 🧐
