While some have been upset by Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo's 83-point game, New York Knicks superfan Ben Stiller celebrated it while also shouting out Cam Payne.
During the game, Stiller seemingly reacted to Adebayo's game by reposting Jalen Brunson's reaction, which simply read, “Bro what.”

However, after the game, he gave a shoutout to the former Knicks and current Philadelphia 76ers guard Payne, who also had a stellar night on Mar. 10. He scored 32 points along with 10 assists and three rebounds. Payne made nine of his 10 shots and was perfect from downtown.
Stiller didn't want that accomplishment to go unnoticed, so he responded to a post with his stats, writing, “In other news… go Cam,” with a praising hands emoji.
