Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo listed off his top five NBA players of all time on Sunday and made the very interesting decision to exclude LeBron James.<\/p>\n
Perhaps this was a case of sour grapes after James decided he had a far better chance to win a title with the Philadelphia 76ers, signing with Philly in free agency rather than returning to Miami to pair with Adebayo and Giannis Antetokounmpo. <\/p>\n
It’s hard to blame James in that regard\u2014a core of James, Tyrese Maxey, Jaylen Brown, Joel Embiid and V.J. Edgecombe has a genuine chance to win a title. There were bigger question marks regarding the Heat’s title odds even if they had signed James. <\/p>\n
But making a top-five list of all-time NBA players and not including James\u2014who has broken so many records at this point he probably holds the record for most records held\u2014is a wild choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo listed off his top five NBA players of all time on Sunday and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":843395,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[49,48,459,82],"class_list":["post-843394","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/843394","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=843394"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/843394\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/843395"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=843394"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=843394"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=843394"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
