Nothing against Bam Adebayo personally, but let’s ask one simple question: Has Bam ever been known as an elite scorer? Hell no! Look at the NBA’s historic single-game scoring performances: Wilt Chamberlain — 100 Kobe Bryant — 81 David Thompson — 73 Luka Dončić — 73 Elgin Baylor — 71 David Robinson — 71 Donovan Mitchell — 71 Damian Lillard — 71 Devin Booker — 70 Joel Embiid — 70 And then there’s Bam Adebayo — 83, whose previous career high was just 41. Now look at those names again. Who looks completely out of place? And let’s not ignore how it happened. Both teams turned the closing minutes into a mockery of competitive basketball. Deliberate fouling, manufactured possessions and chasing an individual record while the game was already decided. The integrity of the competition was sacrificed. If I had been the NBA commissioner, I would have voided that game and suspended everyone responsible for making a mockery of the sport. Records should be earned through genuine competition, not manufactured circumstances. That’s my entire point.
