What Erik Spoelstra, Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo had to say at media day this morning miamiherald.com/sports/nba/mia… – 4:40 PM
More on this storyline
Adebayo commented before last season on being captain where he gave a blunt answer on how difficult it can be and doubled down Monday during the team’s media day. The Heat star would tell ClutchPoints that his perspective on being captain has not changed and it was Haslem’s idea. “No it hasn’t,” Adebayo said. “It doesn’t get any easier. You know, you got new guys coming in, and you have to explain to them what we’re about, how we’re about, how we move, and just really, it’s not about yourself. You know, every year I come back, and more and more, you start to realize that you’re doing this for something bigger than yourself. Like I said, I didn’t choose to be captain. It was kinda…UD (Udonis Haslem) forced me in this role. But, you know, you understand that when you get into that role and get into that high seat, it’s not about you at the end of the day.” -via Clutch Points / October 1, 2024
Exciting is an understatement. It was a historic offseason, as Adebayo committed to his second max extension with the Heat and became the first player in franchise history to win multiple Olympic gold medals while with the Heat. “Obviously, having an extension, being able to get extended, that’s a great feeling,” Adebayo said. “As for the Olympics, that’s one of the most historic things that I’ve done — being part of a team that is compared to the ‘Dream Team.’ To be able to be part of a team where you got three for sure first-ballot Hall of Famers (Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and LeBron James) coming together to do one last accomplishment together, to be a part of that … you can’t really put that into words.” -via Miami Herald / September 27, 2024
Yes, Adebayo continued to work on his three-point shooting this offseason. But improving as an outside shooter wasn’t the only item on his summer to-do list. “I’m always looking to improve everything — it’s not just one thing specifically,” Adebayo made clear. “Obviously, everybody is going to point out the three-point shooting. But for me, it’s like decision making when you need to be able to make a play, read the game, being able to be the second coach on the floor besides your head coach. Being able to be, when we can’t hear [coach Erik Spoelstra] because he’s on the far end, being able to communicate and understand what the goal is throughout the game. -via Miami Herald / September 27, 2024
