I can’t believe Bam (who scored 83 points and beat Kobe’s record) played so poorly. I could only wonder why Bam (who scored 83 points) couldn’t have done better tonight. Oh well

that shit still says 83 lol

The 83 point game was possibly the best and worst thing for his PR simultaneously

He didn’t even shoot over 50% during the 83 point game and that was with 43 FTs

Guess what stat will never change though

Have they tried intentionally fouling to get him more shots? It might help.

83 points is the best & worst thing to happen to Bam lol

He said his work is done for the season lol.

Everyone knows that game was fugazi and it’ll be looked back worse than David Robinson’s 70 point game. Still in the record books though.

What comes up must come down. A violent regression to the mean.

The Wilt of the Corey Brewer

stupidest 83 point game league history. 43 free throws lmao

I thought he would go on a run with his 83. or at least start carrying his team in points. 15 is not it

No one saw this coming

/s

I was going to say that 8 games is a small sample size but then you pointed out his regular season shooting percentage…yeah that’s pretty bad lol

Maybe if they left him in for 43 minutes against tanking teams he will finally be moderately efficient

Bam scored how many points? That’s crazy.

It’s a little bit harder without 43 FT /s

LA fans are so hilariously spurned by 83 lmao i love it 

Scoring 83 was really the worst thing bam could have done for his own reputation, poor guy

Damn Edrice lowkey a fire first name you can’t lie, Reminds me of Idris Elba

Bam was always a Wizards merchant

Blowing his load all at one time

That man is going to regret scoring 83 in one game the way he’s treated. 

EDIT: to be clear, I’m against the incessant Bam bashing of late.

Just makes that game more anomalous and incredible. Ridiculous stuff. Lightning in a bottle

Will all those media analysts defend him when he’s down the same was they were defending him when he was up? Or was their defense just for show

Fuck the Wizards for giving him 83 points.

So this will sound like a backhanded complement, but I really think his 83 was more …impressive is the wrong word…stunning I guess? Like no one in the world would think Bam would beat Kobe’s 81. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a great player, just not an offensive juggernaut. With Kobe, people had been predicting 80 for like a month. We knew he was building to it. Hell, he turned down playing a garbage time 4th similar to Bam’s game because he knew he’d get 80 when they needed it. Bam was out of nowhere. And as much as that fourth was all about getting Bam 80, the defense was all about stopping him from getting 80. Truly an anomylous performance

He used all his secret juice against the Zards

83 points turned bro into a meme player now lol. He’s too good to only be brought up when trolling Kobe fans 😂

It’s a shame Bam is just an empty calories scoring merchant who can’t help his team in other ways…

His twos are aight. His threes are falling at a 20% clip and he’s launching them things like he’s a 6’2” shooting guard. It’s significantly skewing his percentages down. He has GOT to STOP shooting threes. Mr Edrice Adebayo, YOU cannot be a stretch big without the stretch part. Please stop.

Wilt….Bam….Kobe

guilty conscience 

That 83 point game has to be the biggest fluke performance in NBA history haha

Spirit bomb, he tired

Kobe didn’t die for this.

People will say “still says 83” and turn around and say “don’t just look at boxscores”

What nobody is talking about, is that his record can and will be broken. A hot 1st quarter, a good 2nd and 3rd quarters, and a bullshit 4th quarter is all a player needs to get 90+.

Bum Adebayo

I would be shocked if they got rid of Bam. He’s a great number 2 just not a number 1 and I don’t know any way they’re going to get his value in a trade.

The Devil giveths, and The Devil takeths alway.. 

If an actual scorer would have gotten 83 nobody would really question it but Bam cmon.

Bam doesn’t deserve the 83 points man. Should’ve stop stat padding.

This makes him beating rapist Kobe Bryant so much sweeter

It’s like when a player fucks up his swing during the home run derby. Or karma for breaking the “code”

and this mf’s jersey wi sure be retired, right?

TIL Bam Adebayo’s name wasn’t Bam.

Okay but what would his TS be if he just kept playing the Wizards

I mean he averages 20 points and really got 83 lmao

Pretty obvious by now that the Heat will be looking to move on from either him, Herro, or both this offseason as the two have shown they are not capable of leading a team.

some generational REEEEing from a Clippers fan here

Dumbest take I’ve seen on here. Zero chance the heat ever moves on from Bam in his prime. His whole appeal is his defense and versatility which make him the golden Spo player. Were not trading our defensive anchor because he’s an inefficient scorer. We’ve known that about him for nearly a decade.

I don’t understand why “Bamonte” hasn’t stuck more than it has.

2-7 now

Probably did his shoulder during the wizards game

He should just score 83 every game

Bam is not an offensive player, his value to the Heat is mainly as an elite defender and I would be very surprised if the Heat move on from him anytime soon.

Also why do we slander his score? It’s not like Luka and SGA aren’t also playing teams like the Wizards. I can’t imagine the team Wilt scored 100 on was competitive…

Awwww can shoot 43 free throws a game? Poor baby…

He is certified trash offensive player…

Can we just delete this game from history.

Man why can we all play the wizards consistently?

Herro catching strays outta nowhere

All this from a slice of gabagool?

Isn’t his first name Bamonte?

/s

I believe you call that regression to the mean

I think he should’ve just never scored 83. Now he’s gonna be clowned forever as the laughingstock of the sport for what they consider as a shameless stat padding performance even though he was not at fault at all. They’re gonna bring up the 83 whenever there’s a post about him

The heat have been trying to package herro into a trade for years and years now. Duh. Bam is fine.

Zero drama good guy had a 80 pt game why hate on him? Why don’t any laker score 90 points on the wizards if Kobe’s legacy is that special

he scored 83 points. i don’t care what he does the rest of the season. or career.

Bam ain’t leaving buddy.

wilt, bam, kobe

Still got 83

Doesn’t Matter

Scored 83

Didn’t he also shoot 48% TS in the 83 point game? or was it less

y’all are so fucking annoying about bam scoring 83 just cause he wasn’t who yall imagined would beat kobe. bam is the goat

Wilt. bam. Kobe.

Still scored 83 lmao

Are you insecure haters going to post a bam statline every game with a sarcastic comment? bruh why didnt kobe get 81 every game?? what a scrub haha xD

How does it feel to have your name with WILT. BAM. KOBE.

I’m happy for bam, but karma is hitting back hard. Kobe cursed him
