Heat-Lakers Trade Speculation Running Rampant After Bam Adebayo Spotted With Lakers Legend originally appeared on Athlon ...

Known mostly for his defensive prowess, Adebayo attempted 2.8 threes per game during the 2024-25 campaign, well up from his career average of 0.6. As Adebayo’s game evolves, so too does his life.

When asked about the big men who shaped his approach to the game, Bam Adebayo didn’t hesitate. “Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Lamar Odom… and the wild card for me was always Chris Bosh,” he said.

Adebayo’s current scoring average (16.9) is on pace for his lowest since his first season as a full-time starter (17.1 in 2019-20), but he is still a massively impactful two-way player.
