Heat All-Star Bam Adebayo buys mom a house for her birthday

About one week after agreeing to a maximum contract extension with the Miami Heat, Bam Adebayo purchased his mother a new home for her birthday. 

Adebayo shared photos of himself and his mother, Marilyn Blount, inside the house on Instagram over the weekend. He joins a number of NBA players who have gifted their mothers something special after making it big in the NBA, including Ja Morant, who surprised his mother with a brand new car recently.

"My mom never had nothing that she could call her own," Adebayo said during a Monday video conference with reporters, according to ESPN. "So growing up and being able to do something different with basketball and be a special player, that was something that I've always had in my mind, I've always wanted to do. And just having the opportunity to do it for my mom is an incredible experience."
