Josh Richardson: Bam Adebayo should be a lock for All-NBA this year
Aside from the pride that comes with those honors, being voted as the Defensive Player of the Year and/or being selected for one of the three All-NBA teams would make Bam Adebayo eligible to sign a four-year $245 million supermax extension this upcoming offseason. “I think he should be a lock for All-NBA this year,” Josh Richardson said. “He’s really been carrying a lot of the load for us this year.”

It all started for Bam Adebayo with not taking the wide open mid-range jumper as Brook Lopez dipped far off into the distance
Last night, we saw a display of jumpers
Actually it might’ve been the most diverse package of moves before the shot I’ve seen from him

Heat offense still clicking
Good pace, Bam Adebayo mid range jumper puts him at 25, and Duncan hits a needed 3 even with the attention he’s seeing
So many Heat buckets tonight have come from Duncan seeing 2 (or even 3) – 9:36 PM

Good third quarter for Bam Adebayo who set a tone offensively
J-Rich defending Dame extremely well
But I’m literally watching Spo signal for play calls for Jaquez over and over down the stretch of that quarter
Keeps working – 9:29 PM

The Heat fell behind 15-2 to start this one, but Caleb Martin and Josh Richardson have come alive on offense to make this a one-point game.
Bam Adeabyo is off to a 1-5 start. He’s gotta pick up his offense to give Miami a chance. – 7:55 PM

Bam Adebayo is quickly realizing what he’s capable of on the offensive end after averaging 6.9 points per game as a rookie in the 2017-18 season. Adebayo is now on pace to become the eighth different player in NBA history to average at least 23 points, 10 rebounds and four assists per game while shooting 52 percent or better from the field in a season. The others on that list are Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokic, Joel Embiid, Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird, Charles Barkley and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. “Shoot the ball,” Adebayo said when asked about his progression on offense. “I feel like that’s been my evolution. It sounds very simple. But I came into this league as a defender and then to this point I’m taking 27 shots. So I feel like the progression has just been shoot the ball and worry about everything else later.” -via Miami Herald / November 30, 2023
Anthony Chiang: Bam Adebayo on importance of point differential for the In-Season Tournament: “That’s the thing a lot of guys I’ve been seeing disagree with because if you’re up 15 and you’re trying to get a point differential with 40 seconds, it takes the integrity from the game.” -via Twitter @Anthony_Chiang / November 28, 2023
