SUMMARY
- Bam Adebayo hit a game winning 3 vs the Detroit Pistons.
- Due to Kyrie Irving's own game winner, Bam's accomplishment has been sidelined.
In the wake of the impressive off-handed game-winning floater that Kyrie Irving made, the improbable buzzer-beater made by Bam Adebayo has gone relatively unnoticed. Fans who have been following recent NBA games will know that Kyrie is currently under the limelight after he scored the game-winning points during a close game between the Dallas Mavericks and Denver Nuggets.

A game-winning buzzer beater is quite rare and does not occur as often as one would imagine. Be that as it may, last night Bam Adebayo did the very same thing. However, his accomplishment was overshadowed by Irving’s. That said, some fans might be interested in hearing what Bam was able to do for the Heat on the very same day that Irving helped the Mavs win.
Bam Adebayo hit an unexpected three-pointer buzzer-beater vs Detroit Pistons
To those who do not know, Bam is the center for the Miami Heat and can be considered a cornerstone for the franchise alongside Jimmy Butler. Since Butler has been dealing with injuries and has not participated in the past few games, Bam has been forced to step up as the best player on the Heat.
The Miami Heat faced off against the Detroit Pistons recently. With the scores tied, Miami secured the ball with less than 8 seconds left in the game. As the Heat pushed the ball up the floor looking to score, they were guarded effectively by the Pistons.
Adebayo has hit just 12 three-pointers in his entire NBA career
There is certainly a good reason that the Pistons were caught off guard by a game-winning three-pointer from Bam Adebayo. Fans who have been following Bam over the years will know that he is a poor three-point shooter and takes or makes them quite rarely. In fact, Bam has made just 12 three-pointers over his 7-year-long NBA career.
His performance was overshadowed by Irving’s game-winner. Although this might seem unfair, Kyrie won a game for his team against the defending NBA champions. On the other hand, Bam did the same against one of the worst teams in the league. Nonetheless, Adebayo’s confidence and belief in himself to take an improbable shot deserves a fair share of respect.
