Miami Heat's Bam Adebayo And Erik Spoelstra Getting On The Same Page
In this story:
The one knock against Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo is being too passive on the court.
Fans have often criticized him for not having a killer instinct. In a recent interview with SI.com's Rohan Nadkarni, Adebayo said he has often talked with coach Erik Spoelstra about playing more aggressive.
“I have to collaborate with Spo,” the 25-year-old said. “Because he knows I’m ambitious. I want to have a bigger load. I want to have a bigger responsibility on this team, and not just on the defensive end.”
Spoelstra said Adebayo needs to block out the noise because he has improved each season.
“And I think what is really special is Bam has put himself in the conversation to be the most versatile, best all-around player in the league," Spoelstra said. "So the challenge is to quiet all the opinions, expectations and noise from out there.”
