Bam Adebayo

The never-ending list of ways that Bam Adebayo impacts the Miami Heat has officially been extended, both literally and figuratively. Pushed to the brink on the game’s final possession against a competitive Detroit Pistons group, the three-time All-Star unveils a sporadically-used part of his game, taking a flip pass from his teammate before calmly burying a game-winning, 31-foot bomb, stunning the road crowd in the process. This marked Adebayo’s longest 3-pointer of his decorated career, ensuring Miami’s second victory in three nights against Detroit along the way on March 17, 2024. In setting the stage for what was to come in future nights from beyond the arc, Adebayo was predictably superb, also finding time to contribute 20 points, 17 rebounds, three assists, and one steal.
