[Highlight] Bam Adebayo on if he’d ask his teammates to give up rebounds so he can break Udonis Haslem’s franchise record:
“Nah, that’s unethical basketball.”
Don’t tempt Haslem, he will come out of retirement and get 14 more rebounds (over the next 6 seasons).
nah hes too old for that
hes gonna get himself promoted to gm and waive bam right b4 he breaks his records lmao
[Charania] BREAKING: Edrice Adebayo cut by Heat GM Udonis Haslem for “doing detriment” to franchise
TIL Bam is short for Edrice
Culture over everything- UD while trading Bam for a second round pick.
defense wins championships - UD while trading Bam for Tyler Herro’s clone
as proclaimed
“Reports coming out that Adebayo was heard telling teammates, ‘You guys suck’”
Body fat percentage was too high, had to do it.
Lol you reminded me of that lowlight from the end of his career. Link
ill counter with Haslem’s last career game lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hy2mHQC4ykQ
Damn that’s actually a really cool moment! Good shit
Lol 108 total points in his last 6 seasons, with 24 in just that game.
Also reiterates the whole Scalabrini, “I’m closer to LeBron than you are to me” idea.
kind of wholesome how the whole team runs to his aid. You can tell they really care about their vet.
Meanwhile, the highlight of his career is that season he played a total of 4 minutes, got like 4 pts, a rebound and ejected for fighting.
So this is how I find out Haslem is retired.
Technically maybe.
S-Tier rage baiter
Has he always been like this or did 83 awake a monster?
he’s always been like this but miami doesn’t get national coverage really
He was always my “who do we cash in on the picks for” guy back in the day. Don’t think OKC is going to do anything now but he’s probably a great guy to have just for this stuff too
I get tired of when people try to throw Miami into the biased teams like LA and NY when Jimmy has been the only notable FA since LeBron back in 2011
I’m still regularly surprised that Miami doesn’t attract every free agent on taxes and weather alone.
its cuz actual FA doesnt exist anymore, stars take teh contract and ask for a trade now as “FA”
plenty of stars still want to come to miami, we just cant get them here cuz the “never tanking” leaves us with less assets than normal. which is ironic cuz the “never tanking” is part of y certain players want to come here
Its also Rileys old ass. He seems allergic to making big swings and is fine just chugging along as the 6th seed.
i mean thats the uneducated narrative going around yes
tell me wat big swings he couldve done but he refused to do?
blazers didnt want to trade dame to us/Suns chose the 10th overall pick over the 20th/Bucks didnt want to trade giannis
Free agency is dead sadly
Jimmy has been the only notable FA since LeBron back in 2011
I mean there were only 4 seasons between LeBron leaving and signing Jimmy, and Jimmy only left last year. Obviously we weren’t signing other big name free agents while we had the big 3.
The only notable FA the knicks have gotten since 2010 has been Amare Stoudemire lmao
(Knicks got clowned for the Brunson signing so he doesn’t count imo)
pat riley fault. the heat are always in convos but the players never get there, some for better some for worse
Him and Hassan Whiteside are hilarious
He is not good enought o talk shit usually
Bam’s so funny I love him
wilt. bam. kobe.
Jayson Tatum what is you doing here???
not getting playing time in paris
Ant.
I love Bam
Should stop out of respect
Kobe looking up at Bams respect right now 🥹
Looking up 😂👌
Stop
Who’s the equivalent of MPJ for rebounding?
Drummond easily he threatened his teammates if they stole his boards
i heard he missed shots intentionally so he could grab his own boards
Bob Sura did that to preserve his triple double streak
They took away his rebound
Ricky Davis tried shooting at his own goal to secure a triple double; got bowled over by DeShawn Stevenson.
A lot of bigs miss shots at the rim sort of on purpose, not because they’re trying to pad stats but it’s a legit scoring strategy.
Moses Malone was a legend who got buckets this way
i never would’ve thought of that
Yeah me either. I can’t remember where I heard about it - it might’ve been Mind the Game or the podcast with Tony Allen and Zach Randolph but they were basically saying a guy had a really fast 2nd jump so he would just put it up on the glass and basically know he would score on a tap-in because he had a big advantage on putbacks. I feel like they were talking about DeMarcus Cousins but I can’t remember exactly so I might be wrong.
I could kind of see it, but also it feels a bit like “haha yeah bro I was totally missing on purpose… To get the rebounds… It’s totally not me having terrible touch haha I was just padding my numbers hehe”
It’s probably somewhere in the middle.
fair
That’s why he’s Angel Reese’s hero
Drummond said he punched his teammates just for stealing his rebounds lol
haslem: 5,791
wilson (née Adebayo): 5,696
Yep Bam is definitely taking A’jas last name when they get married lmao
Second most prolific scorer ever, Bam Bam
Lmao Bam is hilarious. Hope he keeps trolling the haters
It’s just wilt and BAM alone at the top the way it should be
Lol crapping on the haters and Wemby
Bam is hilarious
Lmao
Bam is a treasure. Every day I’m more and more happy he got 83.
Unethical Basketball is such a cute little buzzword
[removed]
Language!
I mean it does happen, even if the player doesnt want it
Not related much but it was really nasty seeing fans say Westbrook statpadded boards like he hasn’t actively contributed to OREB% his whole career. Dude was crashing the glass in the 2025 playoffs a ton at that age lol
Yep, Russ got ridiculous levels of hate for his widespread contributions to the team.
If he doesn’t stop 1 short and retire, then he’s disrespecting his legends /s
Hahahah he’s funny, glad he’s having fun with it.
Nah, can’t break a record of a godfather in the heat family.
That’s blasphemy, but going out of your way to beat Kobe, all in.
I hope he keeps this bit up forever lmao
[deleted]
You would know.
oh so that is unethical but your coach leaving you in a blowout, having your teammates miss fts on purpose and foul the other team, and jacking up 22 3’s while getting 40 plus fts isn’t? LMAO
You do know Bam is joking right….
I think bam is jokingly mocking people that are saying the way he got 83 was unethical. Then the person commenting is saying “you joke but here are all the facts that actually make it unethical”. I could be wrong but that’s kind of how I’m reading this
Thats the joke
No problem with Bam..bever saw him as elite..never got that..still dont
How is the best scorer in the league not elite? Not to mention his defense is phenomenal.
Ifnhe the best why his averages what they are? Best in the league is hilarious..may not be the best on hos team
Because he isn’t a shot chucker like SGA or Luka
Best scorer? In one game.
Defense is legit though.
How many points you can put up in 1 game shows high of a ceiling you have as a scorer. Going by PPG just determines who is the best chucker rather than scorer.
Mf didn’t you just-nvm
Mf can’t u see him laughing after pausing?
Mf did you know that’s the reason I put nvm?
whoosh
Clueless
Is wat u are cuz he’s clearly joking lmao
Kobes 81> Bams 83
Well no, 83 is more than 81.
Wilt, Bam, Kobe
Bam inflated his stats in the 4th
As did Kobe by staying in and getting 7 more points after the raptors subbed out their starters
He also stayed in the game until the very end while bam subbed out at 1 min left
U can like kobes more but both stat padded to achieve greatness
Kobe isn’t going to bang you
At least not with consent
You sound insanely butt-hurt.
Kobe did it the entire game… they didnt just decide to do it in the 4th, he was trying to get to 100. wilt also did the same thing just to get to 100. David Robinson did the same thing trying to win the scoring title over Shaq…. Stop.
You’re not a non-consenting woman dude, Kobe doesn’t want you
As did Kobe. And I’m sure Wilt as well
why was he still playing in a blowout? doesnt get more unethical than that.
Kobe and wilt did the same thing
It wasn’t a crazy blowout until the 81 was actually achieveable
Kobe’s 81 was a close game until well into the 4th. Dont even try with that shit.
Raptors literally pulled their starters and Kobe stayed in the game untill the buzzer. The Lakers were also up 17 with 3 min left.
Even Bam subbed out with a minute to go lmao
Bam’s game was a 13 pt game with 10 mins left in the 4th lol if we’re doing that
Kobe was scoring against raptors backups after all the starters were on the bench and unlike Bam he didn’t sub out at all at the end of the game.
thank you someone gets it
It’s obvious lol Bam is definitely embarrassed of his actions deep down. That’s why he’s making jokes. He knows it was pathetic
yea super embarrassing to have the high points recorded on television. im sure hes soooooo embarrassed and ashamed
Haha ya imagine cheating the entire nba community by fouling the opponent in a blowout to extend the game to manufacture a fake record. One of the most pathetic displays I’ve ever seen on a court
how could bam have cheated the entire nba community if wilt did the same thing 50 years earlier to get his 100 lmao
stop it
we intentionally fouled twice starting from 1:42 left in the game and bam already had 79. this btw was to counter the wizards full court triple teaming bam, something that the raptors never did to kobe
Spoelstra, Riley, his teammates, Heat fans and both Bam’s wife and mom seemed ecstatic.
Why would he give a fuck?
Wilt. Bam. Kobe.
Kobe fanboys are nuts.
Do we really expect any better from the yeet master 420?. Excuse me, mxster.
Says the 12 year old
This goes without saying
Math wasn’t your strong suit.
Bams 0 rapes > Kobes 1 rape
