Bam Adebayo reacts to LeBron James choosing the Philadelphia 76ers over the Miami Heat originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
After LeBron James announced that he was leaving the Los Angeles Lakers, it led to teams showing interest around the league. Even if he is already 41, LeBron is still one of the most appealing players in the league due to his winning pedigree and tremendous talent.
When he saw the Philadelphia 76ers trade for Jaylen Brown, he saw a team that showed ambition. He was enamored by that, which led to him eventually signing with the 76ers. It was a tough pill to swallow for some teams that wanted to sign him, including his former team, the Miami Heat.
As one of the Heat's stars, Adebayo would have loved to have James setting up for lobs and pick-and-rolls. It would have been an electric trio between Bam, LeBron, and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Unfortunately, it did not pan out for the team from South Beach.
While they managed to sign LeBron 16 years ago, Philly was too enticing to pass up. Adebayo was disappointed because the Heat would have been a much better team, but he is happy with what they have now. Adebayo and Antetokounmpo in the same frontcourt is dangerous, and they know that too.
