Bam Adebayo is arguably the most versatile defender in the NBA. When his name is mentioned, defense should be the first thing that comes to mind. His offense, however, is what can make him a superstar.
I can’t be the only Heat fan to yell “Shoot the ball” when Adebayo has a wide-open 16- to 20-foot jumper but does not take it. Through Adebayo, the offense operates at its peak. His aggression and scoring repertoire are crucial to the success of Miami in this pivotal Game 6 Friday night. Adebayo must step up and assume the lead role for the Heat.
