Team USA recently played their second game in the Olympics’ group stage against South Sudan. After their previous encounter, in which South Sudan nearly stunned the United States, they were hoping to win again. However, the Americas were more prepared this time, winning 103-86.
After the game, LeBron James referred to Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo as the new Splash Brother. He even jokingly called him “Bam Bam Splash.” Adebayo had an excellent shooting performance, going 2-3 from three and shooting at 80% efficiency. Bam Adebayo was picked starter over Joel Embiid, which proved to be an excellent selection. Adebayo was the top scorer, with 17 points, eight rebounds, and three assists. Thanks to him, Team USA secured an excellent victory and is now 2-0 in the tournament as they prepare for the quarterfinals.Adebayo was the top scorer, with 17 points, eight rebounds, and three assists. Thanks to him, Team USA secured an excellent victory and is now 2-0 in the tournament as they prepare for the quarterfinals. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson were nicknamed the “Splash Brothers” because of their exceptional three-point shooting abilities. Both Curry and Thompson won four titles thanks to their immaculate shooting. Looking at his recent games, Adebayo might easily adopt the nickname for himself.
Bam Adebayo answers with a 50 Cent meme to Brian Windhorst’s comments.
Brian Windhorst, an NBA insider, spoke on the Pat McAfee show and made some comments about Bam Adebayo. Windhorst observed that South Sudan’s bench was very adaptable, with numerous athletic big players in the lineup. As a result, he predicted Adebayo would be benched for the encounter. Following these comments, it appears that Adebayo will not be on good terms with Windhorst.
Following the game, Adebayo jokingly responded to Windhorst on social media with a 50 Cent meme: Brian Windhorst’s statements eventually lost any validity, given how dominant Adebayo was in this match. Unsurprisingly, Adebayo will be a valuable asset to Team USA, hoping to make his imprint and earn his first gold medal.
