The Heat captain is excited to team up with the two-time NBA MVP<\/p>\n

By Eurohoops team \/\u00a0info@eurohoops.net<\/a><\/p>\n

Bam Adebayo did not hide his enthusiasm about Giannis Antetokounmpo joining the Miami Heat<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During a Q&A session at his basketball camp, Adebayo was asked to name his favorite Heat<\/a> teammate and immediately picked the Greek superstar.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m gonna have to go with Giannis,\u201d Adebayo said, per New York Times.<\/a><\/p>\n

Antetokounmpo arrived in Miami in a blockbuster trade that sent Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kel\u2019el Ware, Kasparas Jakucionis, and draft assets to the Milwaukee Bucks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou look forward to the excitement around the season,\u201d Adebayo said. \u201cI feel like Pat has been trying to get somebody of that star level for a while. Being able to have that shift and that change, man, we\u2019re looking for growth and to obviously win games.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adebayo made the comments before receiving the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Trophy, the NBA\u2019s Social Justice Champion award.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2026-08-03T11:07:50+00:00 2026-08-03T11:07:50+00:00 2026-08-03T12:02:58+00:00.
