Bam Adebayo blocks Joel Embiid while the Heat double team him
Bam Adebayo is an X factor for the Miami Heat. When people think of the Miami Heat, they think of Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro. However, Bam Adebayo is a holdout from the post-LeBron Dwyane Wade era. During his early years, Bam Adebayo came off the bench behind Hassan Whiteside. Since Whiteside has been gone, Bam Adebayo has flourished. Adebayo is a better defensive fit for the Heat.
Bam Adebayo proved why he is so valuable for the Heat. During this playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers, Bam Adebayo defended Joel Embiid. In 2020, Bam Adebayo played four games in the Finals. Bam Adebayo defended Anthony Davis in those games. Two of the four games where Bam defended AD saw the Miami Heat win.
Bam Adebayo is ready to get back to the NBA Finals. Tonight, the Heat faced the Sixers in Philly. Despite being at home, the Sixers had a hard time. Minutes into the game, Joel Embiid fell into Danny Green’s knee. After Danny left, Joel Embiid was trying to make it happen. Instead, the Heat shut Embiid down, and then Bam Adebayo blocked his jump shot.
