Miami’s Bam Adebayo Perfectly Predicted His 2020 Stat Line Before The Season Started Over Text To Dwyane Wade

It didn’t take a genius to see that young Miami Heat big man Bam Adebayo had a ton of potential in previous seasons. NBA fans could see it, his fellow teammates could see it, and most importantly his coach Erik Spoelstra saw it.
