Bam Adebayo is an athletic but not overly tall center in the NBA who started his career with the Miami Heat. Adebayo is a unique player who possesses great rim protection ability around the key akin to Ben Wallace or Dwight Howard, but is also quite agile and can shoot a respectable percentage from outside as well, although he did not start shooting 3s until the 2023-24 season. Miami will look for Adebayo to be their number 1 option as Butler ages beyond his prime years.
Notes:
- Bam Adebayo’s height with shoes was 6 feet 9.75 inches as a rookie and may be up to 6 feet 10.75 inches today.
- Bam Adebayo’s playing weight was 242 pounds as a rookie and was 255 pounds for the 2023-24 season.
- Similar players to Bam Adebayo include Dwight Howard, Jarrett Allen, Jaren Jackson Jr.
- Bam Adebayo has worn numerous Nike Air Jordans and has enjoyed wearing Nike Kobe basketball shoes as well. The shoes Bam has worn so far are a mixture of Mid and High Top basketball shoes. It seems Bam may have a lot of respect for backcourt shooting guards. Kobe’s shoes don’t have a lot in common with Jordan’s shoes in my opinion, so it gives me the impression that Bam may have liked both of those players as basketball players, which is also why he wears their shoes.
