Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo has reserved All-Star game endorsements from Kyle Lowry, Erik Spoelstra and Tyler Herro. 

Now, Jimmy Butler is pushing for Adebayo to make the game. 

"We all know that he deserves it," Butler said after the Heat's victory against the Orlando Friday night. "I think he will be picked... He better be there, that's for sure."

With the starters chosen earlier this week  Adebayo must now wait to see if he's chosen as a reserve by the coaches Feb. 2. Adebayo is in the middle of his best season but it will come down to the wire.

"I should be in Salt Lake," Adebayo said after scoring 30 points and grabbing 15 rebounds in a victory against the Boston Celtics
