Bam Adebayo

Make the mistake of falling for one of Bam Adebayo’s pivots or jabs, and it won’t be long before the Miami Heat star delivers a powerful haymaker. Burdened with the opportunity to extend his team’s two-point advantage with just two minutes to go, the three-time All-Star puts on a clinic in the triple-threat, working an endless assortment of jab steps, pivots, and pump fakes, gathering intel before spinning his way into an authoritative two-handed contact flush. Picking up slack across the board to help Miami offset the loss of two 20-point scorers, Adebayo was excellent, filling the statistical ledger with 21 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists, and one block. Versatile on both ends, Adebayo helped the Heat snag a low-scoring victory against their in-state rival Orlando Magic on January 12, 2024.
