I played against him in high school. Man he was a BEAST! That 30 points and 20 rebounds wasn’t cap he really was doing that . I think he drop about 40 on us the two times we play him
You know it’s a great interview when it doesn’t even feel like it was a hour and a half long!!
DAMN!!!! It felt like 35 minutes
FACTS FAM!!!
Loved the Player's Club reference. "Pay these country boys nothin" 🤣🤣🤣
Q checked Bam 😂😂😂 " Naw I claim Chicago "
Nice...Bam...if you don't know, you're about to know. He's a big reason Heat top 10 in defense and offense. Lets go Heat. I like the discussion of being the right player, the right way as well.
Agreed. This guy is a different ball talent. Not even a Heat fan just love seeing straight up ballers.
🥁
Bam been gone for a good amount of this season. PJ Tucker and Jimmy😂 Bam is Elite but they been an elite top 5 defense even with Bam hurt
Brandon Matthews exactly
People just say anything
Bam a real one, love the way he hustles and plays so hard every possession whether its defense or offense, he's incredible to watch, ESPECIALLY in the playoffs vs the best teams
Die hard Heat fan all my life, great interview!! Love Bam n Let's go Heat!!
Love bam too not a heat fan but he goaltended JT back then in the ECF
The game winnin block the dunk was already in the middle and his strong ass took it out
As a huge fan of the Miami Heat I love the fact that we got Bam and Jimmy 💯 we're so underrated and one of the best teams in the league 👌🏽
Bam and Tyler will be special to watch for years.
I need one of them KnuckleHead hats asap 🔥🔥🔥
I loved this interview. I didn't really know about Bam but got mad respect because he was humble. I appreciate him being receptive when Q said that he is from "Chicago " and not Chi-raq. I really appreciate Q making that statement. This is a beautiful city, and because the media may portray it differently, or other people may have a different and somewhat disrespectful name for it, it doesn't mean that's what he or I would call it. A lot of respect all around the board. I was throughly impressed!
D miles gettin better as an interviewer
One thing I never hear from anyone, the Miami Heat have class. And Bam is the prodigy's son. Love the love for UD 305 for life.
These guys are getting better! Great Work!
Dope interview
Finally y’all back one of my favorite podcast 💯
Best basketball show keep it going fellas!!
Great guy, great player, great interview.
HeatNation stand upp‼️🔥🔥
You guys are so refreshing. I love the natural flow of your questions and how comfortable the players feel. And Bam 💥 sounds like Barry White's son. His voice is hypnotizing ❤️👌🏾
Great interview!
Great interview
Favorite podcast
One of the best basketball podcast out here
Shoutout Lamarcus Aldridge!!! Dude still legit imo
In a limited role yes he a bucket
He was UNSTOPPABLE that last year in Portland
.This interview is good. That EYBL and Gaunlet Summer was full of young NBA talent. That would be another good podcast . I need that Ball brothers interview on here
GOD DAMN! That Start, Bench, Cut question. Duncan, KG & Rasheed Wallace.
I remember watching a Kwe Parker, Dennis Smith dunking reel from when they were in 9th grade and I was just speechless. I mean i knew guys who were dunking in 9th grade but never dunking like THAT. Head above the rim doing behind the back dunks with ease. Shit didn't make any sense. Oh and Seventh Woods stopped the world when his Hoopmixtape dropped lol.
What’s good bro this neversaydye from 2k bro I told you I be tapping in 🔥🔥🔥 y’all boys keep grinding man 🏁🏁🏁✊🏾
Loving da podcast Q and Darius. Id like for you guys to get Cheryl Miller on the show. Before her knee injury back in 1986 she may have been the best female to ever grace the court. The great Reggie Miller was known as "Cheryl Miller's brother" back then.
The best woman player ever.If she was coming out now, with the way the game is played, she would be in the NBA.
@@missayawk fuck no 😂😂😂
@@jayfreymontana2055 No? There is no physicality.Plus Cheryl played more physical than some of these players now.😂
@@missayawk at the end of the day she’s a women and women can’t not compete with men in professional sports. You know that n I know that if they could we would’ve seen it by now. what yours saying is hyperbole
@@jayfreymontana2055 Did you ever see Cheryl play?
“I claim CHICAGO.” Talk that shit, Q.
It’s time for bam to take over the team .. he got it
I love that Q corrected bam! Only lames glorify the bullshit going on in the city, we from CHICAGO never chiraq👎🏾
Facts
💯
Ayyy... he got him right real quick too...
His high school mixtapes we're unreal, like Zion level.
Beast. His boy Malik Monk has arguably the best mixtape ever.
Bam is the GOAT 🐐
lets goooo EDRIIIIICEEE!
0:50 October 25, 2017 to be exact. Aldridge scored 31 pts while Adebayo had 6. He gave him the jump shot, the bump, the hook, everything. It was so bad, James Johnson had to defend Aldridge for most of the game while he. guarded Gasol.

Kwe Parker, Harry Giles, Dennis Smith, Ryan Harrow, Bam and more. Those classes were special
Ryan Harrow came out of the 2010 class bro..
Bam 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏾👍🏾
Our DPOY!
Heat nation 💯
NC stand up! 252 in the building!
Kwe was Krazy 🔥🔥
Heat definitely winning the title this season
What you said about body fat really stuck with me. Now I’m watching all of the NBA games looking for violators 😂. Looks like Lowry didn’t get the memo. He’s laboring
HAAAN LETS GOOOO
NC state was my dream school! They only gave me a partial scholarship I was mad. Shouts to Lovie Smith though
Bamily!
Heat nation baby.!!!!!!!!
FUCK YES I NEEDED THIS
This was a very tense interview hahah the questions Bam didn’t like and kept it real and they weren’t ready haha
Good interview but can we get the steph footage
As a heat lifer I can’t believe I didn’t know about knuckleheads. They’re just as good as all the smoke 💨 liking and subscribing. Heat nation let’s go. Qrich was on that 09 MV3 szn. The year dwade got robbed of the mvp trophy.
252 Beaufort County NC native 💯
Did Qrich do that intro on a 1take jake, iif so thats crazy
they need a better research team or something. Missed a great opportunity to ask Bam about that pre-draft workout from Miami and what all happened that day. Zach Lowe wrote about it a couple years ago
Q said hold on young fella…Chicago
shrimp🍤 tampeir'roll ... 😂😂😂🤣
country bun'kin azz ...
D. Miles swear he was a lock down defender lol...
Bamonte!
🎉Bam
Where have I been!? I missed ya'll! All is right with the world now.
That 252 🐐🐐 is different
"Shrimp Tempur'o'' 🤣
I remember getting in trouble in the game for doing knuckleheads pound
🐐🐐🐐🐐
44:31 D Miles stay clowning Q. 🤣🤣
It was actually 37-23-7 blks 😭😭😭😭😭 he hadda 57-34-10 game to start his jr year 😭😭😭
🧐😂😂 they should’ve turned the scoreboard off, I can’t imagine that game being close lol
Where is that aggression now? Because wtf 😂
This, that, and the 3rd
Shoutout to Bam (#TeamAfrica all day)
Q my dog (Knick 4 life)
But its always gunna be #WindshieldWiperGang
Last line of defense type.
It can be argued that Seventh Woods was the first Mike Williams, both ain’t have no business dunking like that in middle school 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Casius Stanley remember years ago too
Kwe Parker never forget
Dennis smith was nuts
Man Seventh Woods is still in his 6th year of college and on his 3rd college
Cool
30 & 20 his junior year sheesh
Why dont the guest sit in the middle?
He got the name BAM- BAM from the Rubbles' son on the Flintstones.Bam flipped over a coffee table when he was 1 yr old.
Bam
Love Bam but the 84/2003 Draft class are the best draft classes of all time. Absolutely insane draft classes.
96
20:04 go where you celebrated not where you tolerated
Q stayed in the paint guarded and everybody!
I wish you would have brought some Jordan sneaks for the Whistler team
Bam "dis dat and da third" Adebayo!!
I like that qrich! No raq Chicago
Kendrick Perkins ---aww man Bam outta the bayou episode
That culture in Miami is real.Separates the men from the boys.But I totally get it.Some dudes dont realize this pro career is just a small part of your life.If you're lucky to play 10 + yrs, you'll still be 30-33yrs old when you're done, but you want to give it your best with no regrets afterwards.Keep that culture Father Riles.
Heat Going To The Finals Book It
I like bucks to go back
GUEST REQUEST Jason Williams (white chocolate) need that fellas Peace
Oh YESSS!!!
J will on them drugs talking about Kobe is not a top 5 Laker.
What happened to Seventh Woods?
Needa get Ant Edwards next !!!!
252!!!
Shoutout the 252
252 all day!
He reminds me so much of a young Dwight. This is how it would’ve looked if Ben Wallace was also an offensive playmaker
Umm yea I get what you’re saying but he is no Dwight at all
@@KDubb-ws9zc he’s more skilled more versatile and has a bigger bag then Dwight
@@mo2k638 what crack pipe you smoking ? Dwight was a monster early in his career boy
@@figo007tv are you slow ?? Did I say Dwight wasn’t a beast ??
@@figo007tv he not saying Dwight wasn’t a monster, he’s saying the play styles are very different.
Dwight was a traditional center, Bam is more of a Draymond. He takes the ball up the floor and passes really well. Guards 1 through 5. Very versatile and agile
Q wit the hi-jack again during a good moment to make it about him 🥴
If BAM was on the Charlotte Hornets now 🔥 Scary!!
…… Heat would be better than the hornets without him and with him it’s not even comparable.
@@Triqkshot ??? Heat would be better than Charlotte without Bam???
Q + D: look here, y'all are OGs now. Have the producers or the facility hospitality team provide some real glassware! Ice bucket, water carafe, glass tumblers (Bodum has some nice insulated ones) - NO MORE RED CUPS! No more drinking from plastic water bottles either. Does Bam even have a cup? Knuckleheads needs to be on the come up!
252!
Bam Out of the bayo!?
Bout time somebody give my favorite player some light... LaMarcus Aldridge, get him on the show if possible yall....
What’s the max percentage of body fat to play in Miami?
everyone on the team under 10%
It's different for back court and front court players but I think it's 10% and 12%.
@@thatosibusisoradebe1985 ok thanks
I wanna know what Kyle Lowry body fat coz that nigga don’t like he under 15% 😂
@@jayfreymontana2055 have you actually watched kyle recently because he don’t look like he did in toronto
Top 5 center in the league
There is only prob 5lol
Bam been that guy since he took Hassan Whiteside job and Whiteside wasn’t no scrub when he played for Miami
@TonyM he wasn’t committed to the game u pay a man that money in Miami u gonna see his true color
@@charliemack8585 facts
Hassan slowed his development down tbh
hassan was a scrub don’t let them blocks and rebounds fool you after that first year and he got the bag all he went for were blocks and rebounds didn’t even play good defense anymore
@@sophiawilliams8650 some players not in the league for the HOF they just want the lifestyle Hassan was a nice center but once he got paid he turned into a pick and choose when to show up player
q read the comments from last episode he quiet as hell lol
