Kendrick Perkins Criticizes Miami Heat's Bam Adebayo

Adebayo takes some criticism from ESPN analyst

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo has been a constant magnet for criticism. 

He recently received a jab from ESPN's Kendrick Perkins about his play. Adebayo, who is in the middle of a breakthrough year, has dealt with many fans and analysts criticizing his play because they expect him to be a better No. 2 scorer behind Jimmy Butler. 

The Heat have struggled because of imbalance. 

“Where the hell is Bam Adebayo?," Perkins said. "…I’m trying to figure out where does Bam stand. I kind of see him playing the same role as a Clint Capela as far as his impact on the game.”

After a slow start, the Heat have turned it around behind Adebayo. 

He has been a big reason for the improvement because of his play.

“He’s such a winner. He’s an absolute winner,” Spoelstra said. “He can morph into so many different roles for us where he makes it look so much easier to the average fan – everybody just wants him to score 40.”
