Heat Notes: Adebayo, Ware, Herro, NBA Cup
Bam Adebayo passed Glen Rice for third place on the Heat‘s all-time scoring list during his 24-point performance on Friday. He trails only Dwyane Wade and Alonzo Mourning and should catch Mourning sometime this season.
“That’s really incredible. What an achievement,” coach Erik Spoelstra said after the game, per Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald. “I had no idea. Wow, that’s awesome. I would have mentioned something to him, even though it was kind of a buzzkill there at the end [of the loss].
“But that’s just a testament to his consistency, his work ethic. He came in basically as a defensive player and he’s really honed his skills offensively to become so much more versatile. On a tough night and a tough loss, that’s one heck of an accomplishment. He’s going to keep going.”

Not bad for a Miami Heat player not known for scoring
He is known more for his defensive prowess than his offensive dominance, even if still doesn't have the Defensive Player of the Year award to show for it.
He has never led the Miami Heat in scoring in a season. He's typically been second or third, or sometimes fourth.
He's only scored more than 40 points once — 41, in a 2021 win against the Nets.
His girlfriend, the great A'Ja Wilson, has more 30-point games than he does.
But Bam Adebayo has consistently shown up to work for the Miami Heat since he was drafted out of Kentucky in 2017, and elevated to a starter two years later. And that, more than anything, is why he's ahead of so many others who may rank higher in NBA lore. LeBron James was only with the Heat for four seasons, Chris Bosh not many longer due to his medical condition. Tim Hardaway joined the Heat late, and with his knees not in prime condition. Goran Dragic had moments, but was already a veteran when he arrived, and so Adebayo has outlasted him. Jimmy Butler scored a bunch, but saved a lot of it for the playoffs prior to his unceremonious exit.
