[Highlight] Bam Adebayo on Luka Doncic’s 60-point night:
“I know what it’s like to be in that mode… As people can see, it’s not easy to get to 80.”
Lol I think he’s just goofing around here
He can’t even keep a straight face
As people can see
audible laughter
it’s not easy to get to 80
btw i’m fucking aja wilson
Leave the door slightly Aja.
Yeah clearly. I thought it was funny as fuck tbh
Also thought it was funny. Even better that its Bam to do it too. Dude went from a game high of 41 to 83.
You mean you’re not a Kobe worshipper who hates Bam’s guts like this sub likes to pretend all Laker fans are?!
i dont think many had a lot to do with kobe as much as that we watched an hour of free throws, he was the only guy in that rarefied air of hitting 70+ points to shoot under fg…infact he was 10-27 in fieldgoals after the first quarter through the game. Bam is great, and its still a grind to be a force to get to 80, but was really hard to watch the basketball part outside of the cool novelty of someone scoring that much which made for a fun night entertainment wise, basketball wise his first quarter was just historic…then things got weird each quarter from there on
Funny as hell
“I know what it’s like to be in that mode”
Bro been in that mode once in his life lmfao fair play
Man if i got 80 in a freaking NBA game just even once, i would be mentioning it everyday too lol
there’s guys who drop 30 in rec league and wont shut up about it
I scored 7 in a pickup game up to 13
The NBA will still be mentioning it 20 years from now, I think Bam can keep mentioning it for the rest of the season at least lol
Against a g league team too
Nah basketball is very serious at all times this is not a game that children can play so joking around can not be allowed and Bam is classless for this, hold on me let start some discourse about it too
You ‘think’?
I’m glad reddit can see the humour in it because everyone I see on twitter and instagram is getting heated over this lmao
People hating but if I score 83 in an NBA game I’m bringing it up for the rest of my life anytime anyone mentions the game of basketball or even says a number.
“My nephew just turned 7.”
“7 is a good age and a number I like. Another good number is 83. That’s how many points I scored against the Wizards.”
81 olives
O_O
- Jalen Rose
Nah man, I’m just playin’. Just 2. Joke for him, he gets it.
83 burgers, 83 fries, …
Cmon your rich just do it!
Please please Im trying to do something
No matter what anyone says, he scored 83 points in an NBA game. He has every right to celebrate. If I scored 83 points in a game against wheelchair-bound 8 year olds, I’d never let anyone forget it.
Never let anyone forget it, especially the wheelchair-bound 8 year olds
Those poor wheel chairs, I hope they find a way to free themselves from those cursed yoots.
First time I dropped 100 in a game in 2k was with Curry against my friend with terminal cancer. I feel you.
Reminds me of that Chappelle sketch where he visits that kid with cancer lol
that’s unfair, not all of the wizards were in wheelchairs
If I scored 83 in an NBA game I would build a house in the shape of 83, big enough to be visible on satellites.
look at wilt, he was going on talk shows talking about his stats, and how many women he banged
fuck it if you got it you got it
I’m getting the number 8 tattooed on my penis, which reveals itself to be 83 in the unlikely event of an erection
Actually though he should change his number
Don’t need to be that big. Even a backyard shed can be seen from a satellite now.
You wouldn’t be able to tell me shit lol
He’s joking here but that’s been my actual take the entire time lmao. Put whatever qualifier on it you want. If it’s so easy to manufacture a performance like that then we would’ve seen it happen more than 3 times
7? That’s how many 3’s I hit out of 22 attempts when I scored 83 points.
I love it if he shittymorphed every interview he did for the rest of his career.
Interview? That reminds me of the intermission, when I had sex with Eartha Kitt in an airplane bathroom
I would have the number 83 tattooed on my forehead within 24 hours of the game ending
Just turned 7? That’s like 84 months! He even has 1 more month than I had points against the wizards!
Absolutely! He has every right to bring it up in every possible conversation.
You know who has no right to bring it up? The Wizards! They let him score 83. As a matter of fact all Wizards players and coaching staff have to put on a rule that they should completely stop talking in any situation if the number 83 is mentioned!
Lol
If I scored a single point I’d bring it up for the rest of my life. Id be insufferable
He should absolutely change his uniform number to 83
Yeah. It honestly is insane to me how people act like it’s a crime for him to go for that. Motherfucker, if I was in the NBA and I got to 70 with half the quarter to go, you know I’m chucking up shots. Bam is a very good player, but he’s not someone who’s going to be remembered by the wider NBA community 10+ years after he retires. This was his chance to be immortalized and he took it. Can’t blame him for it.
This is gonna be an excellent trivia question in the future. I think it’s awesome that he has the second highest scoring game in NBA history; it’s so fucking random and out of nowhere.
hes gotta do a ad like kobe did with the 81 olives or whatever with jalen rose
You mean the Wizards that’s second to last place in the NBA?
Oh you turned 7? Wait until you turn 83, I will let you know my little secret that I’ve been hiding for years
I was saying yesterday he should change his jersey number to 83 and ride that high for life 😂
He should legit change his jersey number to 83 next season. Just lean tf into it
“60 isn’t 80. I’ll explain later.”
60 is cool but y’know 83 is cooler don’t yall think? Iykyk
…
Me.
I meant me when I scored 83.
He’s just saying he respects the grind, even if the numbers are different.
lmao he should say this after every game from now on. Driving his kids back from the playground in 10 years dropping the, “yeah, nice W but you didn’t make it to 80 sooooo…”
I would. Put it on my tombstone. I scored 83
Instead of a jersey retirement they can just retire the piece of the paper in the photo OP that said 83
Heck if he had a tombstone , and if he had more than just his name on there’s then yes that stat goes on.
Like he said, ain’t easy to get to 80 even with the high octane offenses we have today.
I would put it on everyone else’s tombstone
If I were him next game my name is legally changed to Bam 83bayo
Need to bring Wizards in each 83 conversation.
His gf would have to then say, “Bam, that’s nice. But you were only the second best at scoring in a game. And I wasn’t.”
A’ja could do the funniest thing next season…
Like Kurt Angle always bringing up winning Gold with a broken freaking neck, lol
He’s gonna be that dad who still talks about his 50-point rec league game like it was game 7 of the finals.
this is a clear joke but ik it will tick some people off lol
also kinda awkward how nobody laughed, had to fake a cough to cure the awkwardness
There just often arent mics there picking that audio up
I see this hella often when people say “damn the reporters didnt laugh why r they so quiet”
No mics! We have no idea if they laughed
You could hear them laugh right before the “it’s not easy to get 80”. They did not laugh
Or they’re doing the smile and breath out I often do when I hear something funny but have to stay quiet
Yeah that silence after the joke was brutal, you could hear a pin drop in there.
The throat clear is a pro move tho lolol
Yeah that dead silence after his joke was brutal, you could hear a pin drop in there.
Shit had me cracking up
Xitter right now is a hellhole of people being personally offended by Bam’s comment lmao
Wasn’t really a ha-ha joke, that’s fine
Lmao Bam is funny af
He’s got that perfect mix of confidence and self-awareness, always says the realest stuff.
Lakers fans in here so mad lol clearly it was a joke
Right? They’re taking it way too literally, it’s obviously just a playful nod to how insane 80 points would be.
I don’t understand why is it so difficult for people to accept that records are meant to be broken. The 81 point game had a good run, it just got bettered.
Lmao I’m sorry this is objectively hilarious
Bam’s math is definitely off but you gotta respect the honesty
Ngl he got Kobe fans fuming. As a fellow Bean fan I’m glad he’s riling up the haters lol
Kobe would’ve loved the competitive fire, honestly. Bam’s just keeping that Mamba mentality alive.
Yeah Kobe was known for joking after a loss, yall throw mamba mentality at anything nowadays
Kobes fans are just resisting…and Kobe loves when you resist.
Nah he legitimizes the Lakers ring in 2020. We can now say the Lakers beat the second highest scorer in the NBA. Turn their agenda on their head
nba needs it. we really dont have much going on
The NBA thrives on being a soap opera masquerading as a professional basketball association.
Wemby? SGA? Tatum’s return? Luka? Kon breaking records? 40 year-old triple-doubles? How is there not much going on 🤔
As he should. That’s a once in a lifetime game and he can say whatever he wants about it
that is quality ragebait
hahaha no wizards 2nite
Every star should be looking to run it up against the wizards for the rest of the season
Bam a funny ass dude lmaooo
Mr. Wilson acting up
Ooh, we’re such in an horrendous state of things.
This comment are gonna open an other can of worms to spread negativity on Bam.
I’m pretty sure he’s just having a laff.
Overestimating the capacity of redditors to understand a joke !
Are you serious?
See? you would know if you could understand a joke
That was a joke dude lol
I wouldn’t know I can’t understand a joke
…my god
Well played 🤣
I think he was making a joke too. You might have proven your own statement tho, on the bright side
Ivory Coast folks are Heat fans 😂
I’m a Lakers dude but I have no beef with the Heat nor with Bam, atp I hate how people are hating on him for his 83 piece lol.
The other active Ivoirian on this sub is a Lakers fan too iirc.
Fair 😂
The guy’s username should make it pretty obvious what team he’s a fan of
Really though, the only people getting mad at this are the crazy Kobe stans (like Ice Cube’s son who had a multi hour meltdown saying that Adam Silver and the league rigged a random ass Heat-Wizards game to erase Kobe)
Yeah the Bam hate has gotten way out of hand lately, people just looking for any reason to pile on.
I can’t even see where you sittin at. HuhhUHAHhuhu.
Lmao love the banter
oh this motherfucker
Talk your shit Bam
His name is 83
LMFAO
That was meant to get a laugh and it didn’t lol
Oof
Hahaha. Live it up, Bam.
He gonna get soooo many people mad I love it
Oh, he got jokes
Folks he’s just having fun with it, calm down
Yep you did, say it with pride.
lmao cmon now bam
That awkward silence was deafening.
We can thank the wizards again
lmao
Talk ya shit Bam!
Yeah he’s got a point. Luka is no Bam Adebayo
Luka only scored 37 vs the wizards
^just ^sayinnn
43 free throws made it a lot easier though lol
bait them Bam, I love reading these comments
I love Bam
Bro is gonna trigger Luka even more lma
I know he’s just kidding around here but c’mon, you telling me YOU wouldn’t milk 83 for all it’s worth? I don’t think I’d shut up about it if it were me lmao
I hope he drops 84 on their next game. 😂
Luka or Bam?
Bam, but after you brought it up, Luka doing it after Bam saying this would be funny too.
I dont get it
If I scored 83 points in a NBA game , I’ll find a way to sneak that in
Bam’s a funny ass dude , also Kobe stans gotta chill , Kobe would’ve loved this for Bam
lmfao hes trolling
Every conversation Bam ever has with his grandchildren he’s going to reference his 83-point game. “Hey young blood it’s hot in here, feels like 83 degrees heh heh” “Ugh Graaampa”
Getting 60 on the heat is like getting 90 on the wizards
this thread is so embarrassing to read as a Lakers fan
Dropping 83 against a shit team is not the same as dropping 60 against one of the top teams in the East.
My man
😆
I hope he says this anytime anyone gets between 50 to 79 lmaooool
Lakers fanboys are the most sensitive fanbase and also expect everyone else to be the least sensitive fans
Well LeBron James, Kobe, Luka and Jokic are such beloved individuals by their fans that they love them even more than the respective franchise that they are playing for. Hence you’ll see even within the fandom of a certain franchise there will be those calling others Luka stans, LeBron stans, Jokic stans and Kobe stans.
And so LA Lakers has three if not more than that of sections of stans which validates the point you brought up.
Bam is going to be traded to Wizards at some point in his NBA career to makeup for that abomination.
Bam should have said: “So far 83 > 60 last time I checked” lmao
Right🙂
comparing his 83 to Luka’s 60. Oh boy.
,q
I really hope he brings this up every single press conference
I’m sure a player will break the 90 mark one day. It’s just a matter of time. Luka had 73, Bam had 83. It’ll happen one day. A hot day from 3 and heavy minutes is all it would take.
Bam is so funny man
I’d change my jersey number to 83 if I were him. Nobody can forget it that way.
Bro is the foremost expert in this topic.
With only 19 FT btw
i love this guy 🤣🤣🤣
Bam sucks!!!
Bro is going to be generationally hated if he continues this 🤣
Hes goofin’ but 83 really isnt easy.. like.. at all. no matter how many “unethical” things they claim you do
He was too busy thinking about his 80 he kinda forgot the question
For a man that literally averages just barely above 16 points per game. Has literally 1-40 point game in his career. 🤮🤮🤮 and the Miami morons are acting like this is the torch being passed. If you don’t see this for the absolute sham this is keep cheering on Miami. The rest of the league will keep playing after Miami is a joke in the post season again.
I SUPPORT BAM SOMEONE HAD TO DO IT!
Say it with your chest next time
Bam has every right to say some silly stuff like this forever
this game is ENTERTAINMENT
I agree with you 💯.
And I’m a Lakers and Luka fan.
You hit the nail on the head. Once everyone comes to the realization that this an entertainment product, they might not take such things so seriously.
I always referred to the NBA as the NBEA. E for entertainment.
Once a player reaches an absurd amount of points in a game (eg 70), the spirit of the moment eclipses the spirit of the game. The motivations of the players on the court shift to support the player near the stars.
Get em Baaam! Fr tho flex! Also on a smaller note… go sixers😭
I hate that they didn’t get that he’s joking, just chuckle for the guy you goofs. And that 83pts is legit
Not easy to get 80 against a sorry ass team like the wizards
Haaaaha that throat clear. At least he knows he’s become a clown
With the way defense is and refs calls this is gonna be the norm. Basketball sucks its a fact.
