[Saba Sports News] The Miami Heat recently reached the NBA Finals, but despite their playoff success, Bam Adebayo remains aware of the skeptics. Adebayo appeared on SiriusXM NBA Radio, addressing Jimmy Butler’s confident declaration at Heat media day about returning to the NBA Finals and winning the championship. Adebayo not only endorsed Butler’s statement but also had a message for those who doubt the Heat as genuine contenders.
“In the last four years, despite critics saying otherwise, we’ve achieved success,” Adebayo stated. “People have questioned our duo, our style, and our entertainment value, but in the end, we win. Whether you like it or not, we don’t really care. We consistently break through those barriers.”
Miami stands as the sole team to reach the NBA Finals twice in the last four seasons. The combination of Butler, Adebayo, and head coach Erik Spoelstra has proven its playoff prowess. Despite failing to acquire Damian Lillard during the offseason, amid numerous trade rumors, the Heat retain their core components.
