Miami Heat Captain Believes in Team After Acquiring Giannis

He reiterates that thought when talking about team President Pat Riley's "Whale-Hunt".

“You look forward to it. You look forward to excitement around the season. I feel like Pat has been trying to get somebody of that star level for a while now. Being able to have that shift and that change. We’re looking for growth, we’re looking to obviously win games and have some fun”Bam Adebayo

But beyond that, in true captain fashion, Bam Adebayo reminds everyone that noise is just exactly that, noise. There has to be an internal belief, confidence, and trust inside of the locker room that each individual will do their job, and that what you have in the building is enough.

We’ll figure it out. we don’t listen to the outside noise too much. We’ve done a lot more with less in our past years so we’ll figure it out.Bam Adebayo

Miami has definitely done more with less, look at their finals teams.

And the roster is a lot to be excited about, especially for Bam, pairing him with the best player he has ever played with, especially in the front court.

The Miami Heat's starting five is stout defensively. Beyond Adebayo and Antetokounmpo, Davion Mitchell and Andrew Wiggins are some of the best defenders at their positions. Then as for the shooting, Mitchell shot 39.5% from the floor, Andrew Wiggins shot in the forties, and newly acquired Tim Hardaway Jr. is one of the league's best catch and shoot guys.

While there may be a need for more, and the bench will certainly have to produce, it is exciting times in Miami, especially for Bam who has seen everything but a Championship in his 9 seasons as a member of the organization.

The vibes in Miami are high, and everyone is just counting down the days until they can see the product on the court.
