NBA TV Analysts Agree Miami Heat's Bam Adebayo Is An All-Star

In this story:
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo has received plenty endorsements from teammates, including Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry and Tyler Herro.
Now, he is starting to get a little NBA All-Star Game love from those outside the organization. On NBA TV analysts Sam Mitchell, Chris Miles and Channing Frye all included Adebayo among their five locks chosen during tonight's selection of the reserves.
The others on the list were Jaylen Brown (Boston Celtics), Jalen Brunson (New York Knicks), Tyrese Haliburton (Indiana Pacers) and James Harden (Philadelphia 76ers.
Adebayo needs all the support possible because many feel there is a possibility of him being snubbed. He is in the middle of the best year of his career, averaging 21.4 points, 10 rebounds and 3.1 assists. Adebayo is also among the candidates for Defensive Player of the Year.
If Adebayo is chosen, he would mark his second appearance in the event. He also made it in 2020.
