He has established himself as one of the best 25 players in the league.
Keith Smith of Spotrac wrote (on March 10): “Bam Adebayo has had an all-time NBA scoring night with 83 points. Second-most points in NBA history. And now his night is really over!
Unreal game from Adebayo, who set an NBA record with 36 made free throws. Previous record was 28 made free throws, shared by Wilt Chamberlain and Adrian Dantley.”
