Nobody Believed In Bam Adebayo...

Bam Adebayo has rapidly become one of the best big men in the league. But his journey getting here was quite rough, and he was always overlooked throughout his life. Hope you enjoy the video!

Didn’t know who Bam was when he got drafted to Miami in 2017 but was happy to get him. I love that he’s developed his game and I can see him winning a championship for the Heat sometime in the future if they build more star talent around him and Butler. Keep striving Adebayo. ✊🏾✊🏾

They have made it again to the final 🏀💯.
They really suprise us again this year
I love bam I always saw Whiteside as his inhibitor. Great story about Bam.
My sophomore year Bam blocked my corner 3 shot to literally the 10th row when my team and his high school played in the summer. Watching him throw it down we all could tell he was going to be special and he was just 16!
Bam is a complete package with inside and outside game and not relying on 3s.
I really didn't know that he's a great guy. Wow. Props to the Heat for scouting him well. This is the kind of player that every player in the NBA should be. He keeps improving regardless of how much money he already makes. Great guy.
You nailed the player comparison andy. Dj plus Marc in the body of Draymond Green.
And now Bam is a top 5 center in the league also I make NBA videos as well
Beautiful story
Bam has been very consistent in this finals ...if they win then Bam should be MVP
at the time of his draft, i saw a lot of articles (idk if theyre reliable) and some vids saying that bam is going to be a star. people also pushed hassan to be traded because of this or it is at least another reason. so,,, some people saw him becoming a star. and its great that hes showing that he can!
I always knew Bam was gonna be good im not a heat fan but I watch a lot of highlights of them and bam is one of best big men in the league underrated too
man he went from looked to one of the premier big men in the league. Inspirational
Bam is a great basketball player, and an even better human being.
