Bam Adebayo reacts to his viral dunk on teammate Kel'El Ware during the Miami Heat's matchup against the Washington Wizards on Sunday afternoon.
Adebayo is halfway through his ninth season in his NBA career with the Heat. He comes across as the heart of the team and leads them on both sides of the ball.
He is developing chemistry with Ware, who displays talent with his size and athleticism. However, at times they accidentally get in each other's way, which happened during Miami's game against Washington.
The highlight occurred in the final minutes of the second quarter. Davion Mitchell missed a mid-range jumper as Adebayo jumped into the air and caught the ball with one hand to throw down a putback dunk. However, Ware was in front of his teammate as he became part of a poster of Adebayo.
Adebayo reacted to the highlight on social media with a hilarious comment about what he would do with a photo of the dunk.
“Anyone have a photo? Ima put it in my locker,” Adebayo wrote.
BAM ADEBAYO PUT KEL'EL WEAR ON A POSTER. 🤣🔥
