Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo was supposed to clown teammate Jimmy Butler during his postgame interview on Friday. But the joke's on him, as the quick-witted Jimmy Buckets managed to turn the tables around on the big man.
Adebayo, who was recently signed by Jordan Brand as its next ambassador, interrupted Butler's interview after leading the Heat to a statement 124-116 win over the league-leading Utah Jazz at AmericanAirlines Arena. After Miami won its fifth straight game, the 23-year-old slotman was in a terrific mood, busting out some moves.
Butler, of course, did not let this slide and roasted his teammate with this scathing comeback.
Prior to tip-off against the Jazz, the Jordan Brand announced that they have signed Bam Adebayo to a shoe and apparel endorsement deal. The terrific news definitely energized the 6-foot-9 HeatĀ center, as he put up another strong double-double of 19 points and 11 boards, along with seven dimes, one steal and one block in 34 minutes. Jimmy Butler was also unstoppable against Utah, dropping a game-high 33 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists.
It is worth noting that Butler is a former Jordan Brand athlete himself before inking a multi-deal shoe deal with Chinese brand Li-Ning in 2019. He is certainly happy that big brands are finally rewarding Adebayo's hard work on the court.
Jimmy, of course, doesn't just throw out typical compliments as easily and this is probably his way of congratulating his fellow Heat star for the milestone.
