Bam Adebayo wins Gold Medal with Team USA

Bam Adebayo is adding another impressive part to his young basketball resume — an Olympic Gold Medal.

Team USA beat France in the Gold Medal game 87-82.

The Miami Heat center started all six Olympic games for Team USA and helped lead the team to win the Gold Medal and finish 5-1 during their time in Tokyo, Japan for the 2020 Olympic games held in 2021.

Adebayo was never a featured scorer for Team USA, but he was an integral part of their motion offense with his dribble hand-off ability and his defensive versatility was essential as the team operated on a clear switching system on defense.
