For Bam Adebayo, it has become about legacy — with the Miami Heat and beyond. So as he moves closer to this weekend’s opening tip of the basketball competition at the Paris Olympics, the focus for the 27-year-old big man is on another banner moment. Upon returning to Miami from Japan with Olympic gold in 2021, Adebayo saw his name raised to the Kaseya Center rafters alongside those from the Heat who previously secured such Olympic gold medals: Alonzo Mourning, Tim Hardaway, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James. “I think it’ll be dope,” Adebayo said of potentially having a second banner, “because it’s not about yourself.” -via South Florida Sun-Sentinel / July 28, 2024
