Miami Heat News: Bam Adebayo receives big shoutout from Rony Seikaly
Former Miami Heat center Rony Seikaly praised Bam Adebayo for breaking his franchise double-double record. He said he loves watching Adebayo because he is the team’s “glue guy.”
“I think he’s just like you’re a prototypical player that every team needs that kind of the glue that does all the work,” Seikaly said about Adebayo via ClutchPoints’ Zachary Weinberger.
“He works hard, doesn’t require a lot of maintenance, and doesn’t really need the ball to be successful in a team game. And those guys are a lot harder to find than it is, you know, guys that require the ball or require attention,” he added.
