miami sure knows how to find and develop players
Pat Riley. He's another kentucky alum with a ncaa championship under coach Rupp.
Best organization and one of the best front offices around the league
Lakers have the best, they found lonzo Ingram, and they developed Kobe and they developed Shaq and they also developed Anthony Davis.
@@jayus2033 lonzo was trash. AD is in his prime,they didn't develop him. Casual
@@jayus2033 lakers surely didnt develop AD
He reminds me of Duncan. Grounded and down to earth, not affected by money, fame or attentions. Respect to what he did for people in need. What a role model!
Underrated comments!!!well said👍
That is a very good way to put it nice wording my man! Hopefully y’all can help a small UA-camr out who works really hard and trying to be the next Andy :(
shame that his nigerian dad left him when he was younger , but his mum did a great job
Ttt
@@unlockedaccount lol tf
Bam entering the NBA Finals: "Ok."
Bam showing his mom her new house: *heavy breathing.*
If was him I would be nervous as hell either like I think reaching the finals do make ppl nervous but you can pretty much make yourself confident and you got the bros/team by your side so yeh but like doing something that make your mom happy idk if the nerves everything I ain't complain about him getting nervous
@@BarrackObamium420 I know but it's still funny.
Every decent person loves his parents and giving them something like a house should be no deal at all, but they put so much effort, time and energy into you, meaning if you ever accomplish somtething it is because they raised you. I can't imagine the emotions Bam went through but still man, it's funny how much of a weight it is if he compares it to the Finals.
@@CIutchX Tru
@@CIutchX the NBA finals that year was a joke in any empty gym lol. Bam and Tyler hero have not played at that level since. That new class was blessed playing in empty gyms. Made them look much better
@@TOGGGAA1 so, yeah, about that
I honestly did not know he was THAT humble! Props to him and mad respect. I love such people
You love guys? Ahhhh gay! 😆
@@SpankyDizzleD don’t be childish
@@SpankyDizzleD there fixed
@@SpankyDizzleD haha funny yoke!! I remember watching that episode 6 years ago!
@@SpankyDizzleD u prolly talking to yourself 😂😂😂😂
Bam is like a new age athletic Tim Duncan.
Both in demeanour and work ethics.
Herman pantolla Bill Russell
You're a clown if u think Duncan isn't athletic
@@janseanhernane3191
I hope your tuition fee and time is not wasted.
Read it again, but now, slowly. "new age".
on point af never thought of it like that
@@janseanhernane3191 TD is only athletic in clutch moments or Playoffs
I think low first round picks are starting to become the new #1 picks
I'd say end of the lottery like 10-14 range
@@jeffreywasisua1271 yeah that’s what I meant
yh
@@yanyansalvilla958 I feel like that’s why they succeed they still have a lot of talent and they don’t have a lot of pressure from the media to be great the second the join the league
@@jeffreywasisua1271 luke kennard pick 12 Donovan Mitchell pick 13 Bam 15 John Collins 19 Jarrett Allen 22 Thomas Bryant 42 (Bryant will get there he torn his ACL).
Edit > Kuzma 27
It’s a testament to the Miami Heat’s player development that Bam Adebayo went from a complete nobody from the 2017 draft to the best switchable big in the whole league.
A complete nobody?
@@jonahhansen10 Kentucky
The whole point in watching this video was to show you that Bam had the skills since high school
@@Odysseus1999 And do you think Bam would have been as successful if he was drafted to a team like the Kings, Magic, or pre-CP3 Suns?
@At 4:20 I'm Jesus Christ bro what about Donovan Michell
Miami has found a lot of gems over the years
J rich
Herro
Bam
@@YesJimmyButlerOwnsYourTeam Dwade
@@iwantjareddudley7043 to be fair he was a top 5 pick
@@YesJimmyButlerOwnsYourTeam Idk.IMO I don’t think top picks matter like that.Anthony Bennet was the 1st pick in the 2013 draft and where is he now.Also Josh Jackson was 4th pick in the 2017 draft and he was compared to Kawhi/Jimmy butler and he is not like them at all.
@@iwantjareddudley7043 I know but there is a higher percent chance you get a star in the top 5
I’ve been saying he’s the prototype for the center of the future if he improves his jump shot, smaller 5s that can facilitate from the post and spread the floor is the perfect 5
So shorter Nikola Jokic. Lol
@@MrZahsome if jokic could switch onto smaller players he’d be the best center in the league
bam is 6'9 he should just start playing like LeBron but as a center lmao dude would kill everyone
@@swishcountyproductions Jokic IS the best center in the league
@@bluedot6926 id take Joel when healthy but it’s so close it doesn’t matter
I love Bam and I knew he would be good after he blocked my shot at a Kentucky Basketball camp 😂💪🏾
Hmmm??? Cap?
😂😂
@@ibk2205 why y’all think everything is cap
@@xxx_monte6714 people lie on the internet 24/7
@@ibk2205 Yea I know that that is a good point tho
another one of From Rags to Riches Story
i remember when some fans were mad at Spo for losing a game for letting Bam play in closing games instead of Hassan..now he proved them all wrong
That period of time when we thought Whiteside was gonna be a great heat center for years to come
It’s a testament to how the heat have developed players. Just look at Tyler Herro. One of the best young shooters. Bam is certainly a young up and coming star in this league.
Tyler herro is shooting 32 percent from 3 he is definitely not one of the best shooters😂💀
@@christianquirino259 Probably shouldve said duncan robinson lmao
@@christianquirino259 he avg more pts with better effencieny still, because his drives and iso game has improved tenfold
@@cottoncandylol7175 LOL his efficiency is actually down from last year, so I have no idea what you’re talking about.
@@christianquirino259 It was all mental at the start of the season he was having career best in everything when all the trade rumors started circulating his efficiency dropped like a rock. Now that the trade deadline has passed he's starting to play just like he did at the beginning of the season.
Nothing but respect for Bam, I feel like he can truly transform himself into an era defining big man but more importantly he took care of his family and succeeded, he already done goated in my book.
Heat needs to build Precious’ skill set just like Bam as well. That rookie has the same height, fundamentals, and work ethics. Just needs more meat on his body.
Imagine two Bam and Precious in their prime with Heat’s young core.
That’s like a trip to NBA finals every year.
Precious will take a big leap next year and possibly with the addition of Lenard next year maybe we’ll be unbeatable
@@justthatkidd6478 we aint getting kawhi aint no way, i will drink my own piss if we do.
@@frederick6512 🤣🤣🤣
Precious is a lost cause.
Bam 💥 I wish you the best of luck in life deserves all the game and glory props to his mom too!!
Being a Kentucky fan if you watched those games you knew he was going to be good. Has always been such a smart player
Fr. I remember cal just ranting about how he just never messes up. He just did whatever he wanted.
He still gotta improved some things in his game he will be a top 9 player and top 3 center one day
I think he’s already a top 3 center
The only center's better than him today are the 2 mvp canidates
@@iansanzari8431 uhh I disagree this season i would say vucevic
@@iansanzari8431 top 10 center rN for sure, but I think top 3 rn are Jokic, Embiid, and Gobert
@@bluecheckmiya vucevic off this season
One day Bam Adebayo going SuperStar in this league
#Boston fan here
He already is a superstar
@@simongoldstein he’s a star but not a superstar
@@simongoldstein Not yet.
@@simongoldstein IMO a superstar would be current top 15 players in the league, so Bam isn't quite there yet
Really Love this Heat team right now, with Jimmy, Bam and Dragic. And I'm glad they kept all their young guys. With Dipo and Ariza now on the team I can't wait for them to really get going! Go Heat 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I really look up to Bam now. He is so kind
Yep, Reached so far but keeps He's feet on the ground
Bam is extremely underrated
No
@@imkingelijah Yes
It’s crazy how the 13th and 14th pick of that draft ended up being the best players from that draft
SGA baby.
Kobeeee
Nah jayson Tatum better
@@franzralphuy6826 casual he was drafted a year later lol
Nah
All right Andy Hoops Saturday video !!!
The trumpets are coming , gonna be a banger of a video
This video made me gain so much more respect for Bam Adebayo, didn't know a lot of these things. Great vid as always
Mad respect for Bam! Love watching him & Jimmy make plays on the court 🔥
Watched him back in his kentucky days still a blast too watch play
Two years later and the Heat are doing what everyone thought they couldnt...again and again and again. Miami Heat Nation babeeeeee
Bam with Jimmy’s guidance he’ll only go up
it's 2023 and MIAMI is up 3-0 in the ECF. People have not been talking about Adebayo enough. He deserves to be put in the headlines in this amazing Heat playoff run.
Amazing 3-0 choke you mean 😂
@@ndnd7614 what choke 🤣🤣🤣 who went to the finals heat own the weak ass celtics goofy
Bam deserves every single dollar. Congrats and keep it up Bam!
This is by far the best video you have made.
I love these type of mini documentaries. Amazing job. Love players like Bam because I can relate.
Bam just fits soo nice to Miami
Bam is one of my fav players in the league. I love his down to earth attitude
I AM SO GLAD U R DOING A TOPIC ON A PLAYER THAT HAS COME OUT OF NOWHERE PAYING HIS DUES & NOT POUTING ABOUT HE IS NOT BEING USED THE RIGHT WAY NOW HE IS A NBA ALL☆ CONGRATS
ngl i felt like he was just another athletic roll man/ undersized big coming into the league. props to him developing and becoming one of the most skilled bigs in the league
Because calipari used him wrong.
How the hell are the Heat the only Franchise to actually see potential. Bam is the MVP of this draftclass.
yeah im so thankful to have bam
Nice video. Good luck Bam! Stay humble and continue being great!
Bam is the Man! so humble and so awesome
This is why im a fan of big bam and jimmy, Such humble players.
This kind of player that i adore, great attitude in and out the court, im not with the flashy guy thing ever since, stay humble , be an example and continue to spread positivity in life. GOD bless soar high...
When I met him in a camp he was so humble I knew he was gonna be a star
Excellent video. Congrats for BAM!
Mad respect no one knew he was so humble
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. ✊🏾✊🏾
252 NC stand up seen him kome up frm nothing 💯💯🔥🔥🔥frm the same place as him really gave the city hope fr seen him play ball for a long always been humble hope he keeps it up 💯💯💯💯
Bam is awesome.
He's everything you could want. Great job to his mother too.
Mad respect. Bam.
Reminds me of The Dream. Hope Bam is able to continue to develop smoothly 💯
this video made me respect bam even more🔥🔥
Y’all gotta see this mans HS mixtape no matter how crazy the games were anytime someone talked to him he just seemed so down to earth and chill... right after putting the whole team on a poster 😂
andy valued bam so much👍...🔥🔥🔥
Such a good player and a person, now I like him even more
Look at Bam man, so inspirational
My favorite player! can relate to his backstory, i love Bam !
Excellent guy, I loved watchin him in Kentucky. Always knew he was very mature.
Such a modest accomplished big man and an all around human being 👍💯🎯🙏
He is so humble 😍
Bam was a killer in high school, NC finest for sure 🔥💪🏽
He’s going to inspire a new wave of players after him🙌🏾💯
big fan from the Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭 Andy hoops since 2017
This dude gonna be a beast. Mostly there now and hes still learning. I think he'll be scarey good for years to come
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 awesome he is truly inspiring person he had a big heart and gifted guy he is kind person God bless you Bam and i admire you!
Im not a fan of him and heat but i tried to like the vid twice and i acknowledge him now ... Personality shines
Humble beast ❤️
Bam is a complete package with inside and outside game and not relying on 3s.
man he went from looked to one of the premier big men in the league. Inspirational
Gotta respect a guy who knows who he is!!!! That shows character
Bam is a great guy, much success to him.
I remember him in college and first n second year in the nba and seeing his ability to handle the ball and pass i knew he was going to be good
Love to see hustle
A great player and a great guy!
How come i cant be the first one to watch every videos you post? Haha. Salute andy! Keep on making content about nba players!
I am now a heat fan lol. great story. thanks for bringing it to our attention!
They really suprise us again this year
He's on the way if not already the 3rd best center in the NBA
That's my boy! Let's go heat
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.
They have made it again to the final 🏀💯.
Beautiful story
Bam has been very consistent in this finals ...if they win then Bam should be MVP
I don’t wanna be that guy, but I’m gonna be that guy
I said he was gonna be like Dwight 2.0 since his rookie season
@@cubenba6046 I think his defense will only improve as he grows. He’s very young and still is a great rim protector. I just see him as a Dwight like player with a lot more humility
if he improves on his offensive skillset and defense he'll be even better than dwight no doubt
@@cubenba6046 I would say he'salready better than d12 in terms of offense since he has a jumper
NBA + inspiring figures = best channel
Didn’t know this side about him, I’m definitely going to respect him a lot more now.
I love bam I always saw Whiteside as his inhibitor. Great story about Bam.
And now Bam is a top 5 center in the league also I make NBA videos as well
How good was Otis Thorpe a soild big man in his prime in the 80s and 90s.
OT! My second favorite Rocket EVER.
@@deadlybulb999 im guessing number one is the “dream” ....Carl Landry?
Fun fact : he was the guy the who was traded to the grizzlies in 97, for the Future #2 pick in 2003( aka Darko millicic)
@@YesJimmyButlerOwnsYourTeam Yessir. Greatest athlete of all time IMHO. A treat to watch. (Dream, not Carl, haha!)
@@williefaulker yeah I heard about that. What an underwhelming trade. Haha
Bam is a great basketball player, and an even better human being.
I'm glad Bam came this far.
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
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!
Here after his game winner against the Nets.. So tough
Bam really is One Of One! His versatility still always amazes me, especially his defense and footwork which allows him to guard literally anybody! Let’s Go Heat! 🔥💯
bam just earned so much respect for me
Bam came from a basketball town we all worked with him from a very young age at 12 years old he was about 6ft 3in and couldn't make a lay up but all of the youth coaches and local basketball players knew he had it in him but the funny thing is he can do so much more
Bam is my favorite center in the league and has been since last season. They gotta let him start shooting 3s.
Very nice story...
Bam 🐐
