Without any doubt, Bam Adebayo established himself as one of the best defenders in the NBA. In this area, the interior of the Miami Heat represents a real reference, even without having won any trophy for defender of the year.
However, over the years, the 26-year-old has been able to develop his game. He is absolutely not one-dimensional and weighs in on both sides of the floor. Without being too in the spotlight, he also had one of his best seasons: 19.7 points, 10.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists on average.
After the victory of the Golden State Warriors (113-92) last night, the leader Stephen Curry wanted to pay tribute to him.
“He’s versatile, long, moves well and he’s obviously a great rim protector. It’s not for nothing that they’ve been to the NBA Finals twice. It’s obviously because of what Jimmy Butler is capable of to do and to the guys around him.
But Bam plays a vital role in connecting both ends of the floor. He is obviously a great weapon offensively. He puts pressure on the inside and has a mid-range shot, he even made a three-pointer in this game.
They perform a lot of actions around him. You add that to his defensive presence, that’s why he’s an All-Star, that’s why he is what he is.” summarized Stephen Curry at a press conference.
And Jimmy Butler remains the boss of the Heat, Bam Adebayo is indeed an extremely valuable player for the Florida collective.
