- The Old Man & The Three is back with another awesome episode... this time with Miami Heat Defensive Player of The Year candidate, Bam Adebayo. Topics include: Bam's high school basketball career, why he signed with The University of Kentucky over North Carolina and Duke, the mind-f**kery of Coach John Calipari, what his NBA Draft night experience was, how THANKFUL he was to be drafted by The Miami Heat, his first experience meeting Dwyane Wade, being mentored by Udonis Haslem, his first experience w/ Jimmy Butler and why his personality is perfect for Heat Culture, why The Heat were PERFECT for The NBA Bubble, making it to The NBA Finals, his amazing block on Jayson Tatum, why Bam believes he is The NBA Defensive Player of The Year, the Miami Heat dust-up (verbal fight?) between Coach Erik Spoelstra, Udonis Haslem and Jimmy Butler, what Kyle Lowry and PJ Tucker bring to The Heat, Team USA Gold Medal stories and so much more.

JJ, the Heat lifer who never played for Miami. Wished you played for the Heat.
Great episode. Timestamps on the talking points will take this podcast to another level
Sometimes he does it sometimes he don’t idk why
someone in the comments should do it lmao im pretty sure jj wants ppl to watch his full podcasts
No less time watch for JJ means less money
Lol yes that’s for casuals
Agreed
I love how Bam didn't cuss until JJ dropped the "mentally fuckery" line, he smooth said "oh we out here foreal ok"
27:23 JJ, it would be great to add video clips to stories like this. Your layup, his block.
"Kyle taking a charge."
Man, i miss that as a Raptor fan. Lowry is the king of taking charges. Dude is just phenomenal at positioning himself.
Phenomenal crier and complainer as well. 😂
@@jzl7965 most players do
@@jzl7965 phenomenal booty too
@@jzl7965 that's 95% if the league
ya i miss him here in T.O as well
Bam seems like such a great human. He is so confident (as he should be) while also still seeming humble & down to earth. Also love how much he loves & respects his mom. 😊 Great episode per usual.
.
Yes bam is a great dude
Awesome comment homie
I love this Heat team. If you know what to look for, you can hear the UD in Bam's voice, or the Spo in his voice, at different points in the interview. They're so locked into each other, they take on each others' ways of speaking, just a little here or there, without even thinking about it. I really hope Bam has a long, successful career in Miami, and I hope in two months he'll have some new hardware to put next to his Olympic gold medal.
As a raptors fan and Kyle fan. I really hope y’all get to the finals and win one (if it ain’t my raps, bulls or cp3). Y’all got a great team, great organization and way of running things. Much respect!
@@brennanrobillard3046 It was really something to see the love you guys still have for Lowry when Miami came to visit Toronto last week. When you guys see the Sixers in the first round, make sure to give 'em hell so you can meet us in the 2nd round.
@@emilymesch7537 How could we not. Kyle played his heart out every game for us it would be disrespectful if we didn't show him our love and appreciation. I call myself lucky to have seen both him and Demar live hundreds of times so we always show love to former raptors as long as they give us everything they can. Even though AS A RAPTOR FAN embiid is one of my favourite players for a few years along with harden I WOULD LOVE TO SEE US OR YOU GUYS GIVE EM HELL cause i can't stand their fans there just so not fan like yk.
As a black man, one of the biggest gifts my parents gave me was not having to “take care” of them. I could my make my own decisions based on what I wanted or needed knowing that they were fine. Obviously no disrespect for those who came up in different situations. I can’t imagine having that pressure at 18.
You wasn’t lying when you said you was gonna drop this bright and early 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It’s not even bright over here in Cali yet… just early 🥱
here in Italy it's now 2pm lol
You’re quickly creating one of the best podcasts out there! And to have the man Bam on, you got my full attention with this one
Fax straight heat 🔥🔥🔥
Great interview as always! As a heat fan… Bam’s my favorite player ; seeing him develop into a 2 way star over the past few seasons has been amazing to witness.
Amazing to see a 14th picks becoming a key piece for a championship calibre team.
I'm a big Heat and Adebayo fan myself, is it not a bit frustrating that he seems to defer so much offensively though?
Remember when people were up in arms about him starting over whiteside lol
@@lpfan23 Yeah that’s the one thing. He could average like 23-25 if he wanted to
@@gators9570 I think he wants to, he just doesn't realize how easy it can be for him if he set himself out to do it. Like I can't fathom why a lot of defenses play drop on him while he's doing the DHO's and he doesn't even look at the rim for a good mid-range shot. He over relies on Duncan and that's why they are not playing the two together as much, they want Bam to take initiative
Tbh no time stamps are the only thing stopping me from watching every minute of the podcasts
Miami heat fans are up early cause we all rise and grind right before the shine !
The fact that just yesterday the KD episode got uploaded and was insanely good and now we get another one now with Bam is just crazy! JJ and Tommy are some real podcast hall of famers
I've actually seen Bam play in person back in his high school days, he played another upcoming NBA player and loaded team against Wesleyan academy in high point nc. He played a prime Harry Giles before all his knee injury issues. Alongside a number of D1 players on the squads. The level of those games was the most entertaining basketball I've ever seen at the high school level. The size and skill sets of a potential NBA guy definitely sticks out!
The hawks game he talkin bout! Him and Jimmy both had triple doubles, Duncan had 10 3 pointers, and Kendrick Nunn had 36 points or something . That game was wild, and if you can’t remember by that it was when Trae Young said “it’s over” and it indeed was not over lol
One of my favorite Heat games ever
Bam is my favorite player in the league as a player and as a person. I hope more people start appreciating him!
Bam is a great basketball player and seems to be an even greater man.
Hope he sees nothing but blessings in his life.
Great interviewing JJ and Tommy, you two do an incredible job of asking in depth questions that keep the guest interested while not leaving casual basketball fans in the dark talking about sets they can't comprehend without a coaches play board and also letting the guest answer for as long as they want.
Looking forward to the next one.
Had no clue this dude was only 24
JJ just keeps dropping straight heat consistently and there’s no better content out now 🔥
JJ Redick, Heat lifer, is so committed to the Heat he allowed Bam to block his lay up so he realised what a defensive monster he could be & the Heat gave him more minutes as a result. JJ's love for the Heat runs deeper than you thought people...
seeing the human side of these megastars is always amazing to me. sometimes we forget about that. shout out to JJ and tommy as always. love to Bam man. i'm not much of a heat fan but love watching you play.
Best basketball podcast out there! Just watched the KD episode
😌👌
Draymond green show kinda fire too
@@imhotepnixon the players doing media has been great for the game
This is a perfect interview ✊🏾 Thank you, JJ, love Bam 💥
I always loved Bam since he was at Kentucky but never knew I needed this!
Great interview! Bam is such a charismatic guy, I could have listened to another hour of this. Thanks for the pod guys 🙏🏼
Bam for DPOY!! Great ep! Love hearing about Bam’s story coming up in the league. Love the energy and discussion this podcast enables.
Bam had such a great description of his draft experience. He told it so well where I could feel the emotions he described. Great person to have on the podcast.
Loved this episode ! I’ve been a heat fan since wade got drafted and bam is my favorite heat player right now
The draft story that Bam shares and what it's like being a rookie in the NBA was so interesting. Love getting a bit of insight into how it works and the feelings behind it.
I love Bam 💥 so glad he’s in Miami ! DPOY 💥💥💥
Never stop JJ. You have the best podcast in the game for sure
Great interview I love the questions that you guys ask, really tring to get to know about these players from a closer pov .... would love to see Tyler Herro on here at some point
I’ve always respected his game but never knew the person. What an awesome guy. Even more impressed by him now. Great episode.
Love what your doing JJ keep it up
TWSS
.
One of my favourite players in the NBA
One of the coolest dudes in the league, great interview! 👍
Excellent interview! Bam DPOY!
Great interview! Bam is a stud!
Damn always like Bam. He really shows class and intelligence. Plays the game right and does plays “the game” right.
I’ve been telling my friends for years Bam deserves DPOY just look how he plays defense he guards everybody on the floor
no way he will win DPOY
@@scrollux5182 It’s not impossible. Miami clinched the number 1 seed and nobody can definitively say Giannis is a better defender than Bam. And considering Miami is 3rd in defensive rating and he’s the main reason, he could win.
@@brandontolliver702 but Giannis is way more impactful on defense than Bam
@@scrollux5182 Absolutely false. When Bam is on the court, Miami has the best defensive rating in the league (103) Not to mention the Heat are already 1st in fewest points in the paint per game.
@@scrollux5182 not true I’m a Bulls fan, hate Heat more than Milwaukee by far, and I fear Bam as a defender more than Giannis
Bam is a great story teller
Good convo , great interview
That 2020 bubble run was one of the greatest playoffs for me. We got god like Jimmy Butler. Bring him on next PLZ
Would love to hear Bam and Jrue together on the show talking defense.
“Go take care of your family” only dream any man’s wants honestly, to be successful in any field or aspect in life and to take care of our loved ones and others if we choose is a blessing I pray everyone can achieve on their journey 🙏
Another solid show from JJ. Way to go guy.
JJ, love you man! Thanks! Jokic would be fireeeeeee!
I'm not sure Jokic knows what a podcast is 🤣.
The only thing he knows is basketball & riding donkies. A true mvp in my eyes.
Huge W for my birthday thank you!
LETS GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! Miami are so over looked when they have had an amazing season and Bam IS the DPOY!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you JJ and Tommy! 🔥🔥🔥
Giannis is dpoy.
He's missed how many games? Delusional if you think he should win DPOY
@@123Gravina You’re delusional if you think he shouldn’t😂The Miami Heat are 3rd in defensive rating and 1st in fewest points in the paint allowed per game. That is all thanks to their best defender in Bam.
@@brandontolliver702 They've done fine without him. He's definitely a great defender but you should be crediting Spo
@@123Gravina Spo has even said that’s not sustainable without Bam. Nobody in the league is a 1 man army on defense like Bam is. He is involved in every play because his help defense is incredible.
This interview is goated
No idea Bam lived in my town his senior year always supporting my man now
Tommy is a goat interviewer unbiased and lets the man talk i love it
As a celtic fan, i am still not over the game winning block he had on JT. Much respect to Bam, Heat are lucky to have him!
Y’all are grinding so hard
My favorite player rn 😍😍😍
yessir bam is that guy🔥🔥
Keep em coming JJ, these are so good🙌🔥
LETS GOOO ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLAYERS 🔥
Man im 1 year younger than bam and he looks and sound like twice my age..incredible stuff, and I love him
We becoming a heat channel again? Good let's go heat!
Edit: Also bam can cover 1-5 efficiently and is the defensive anchor for the 1 SEED Miami Heat
Enough said
@Robert Drake Brooklyn is overrated
Need a Jimmy butler interview next
Love the podcast can’t wait to watch this episode
Love the convos between competitors like Jj and bam lol
Damn Bam a real one bro
Listening to this made me thing you need to get Udonis Haslem on the pod
Lets go thank you so much jj for getting bam
great episode
Thank you Heat lifer JJ, you will always be a part of the Heat family. This is officially a Heat podcast btw
Nice, my heat getting some time on the podcast
Great show
Bam Bam ‼️🔥💯
Lets go bam perfect the elbow jumper we gonna win it all
Use CZcams timeline chapter markers, please. In the description, just start with 0:00 - Intro/Welcome and then list other times when the subject changes with a descriptive phrase, separating the video into chapters for us.
His full episodes are gas he just listens to their stories and asks the questions we’d all like to ask 🙋♂️
If I was building a team from scratch right now, Bam would be one of the first players I selected. Real talk.
Best sports podcast
Glad I subscribed
Let's goooo 🔥🔥🔥 Bammmmm
All day baby!!!!!
BACK TO BACK JJ ON 🔥
Great Interview Bam! 24:39 lol
No one can switch on defense like bam. He should get spot!
BAM!! JJ, please come back and shoot it for the Heat! (we can all dream, right??)
Jersey kid ? Wow love him even more
Damn Bam is sich a likeable guy. Probably the NBA player I would like to chill with the most! :)
This is EASILY my favorite interview. By far. Bam is someone I would greatly enjoy just sitting down with and talking about life. Not even just basketball. This dudes heart is arguably bigger then his talent. I can't say that about anyone else in the league personally. Just a quiet, genuinely nice guy. Thanks for the interview boys!
Lets go heat🔥🔥🔥
This makes me miss Kyle as a raptor 🥲 he fits w heat culture so well too though so hopefully he gets what he's looking for in Miami w/ Bam and Jimmy!
He is such a cool guy
We need Giannis on the pod please
12:40 I think most college teams had this talk 🤣🤣 stuff like that brings y’all together because you have to endure your coaches mood as a unit
24:45 got me weak Lmao 😂😂😂
Did you say Weak??👅😈
@@sorinn7894 aeyo
51:30 "you know when dudes get in their mode, and they make shots-n-start doing all the antics"😅
2 episodes in 1 week?!? JJ you shouldn’t have 😄
id love to see these guys play phase ten
I see heat bucks going for eastern conference finals this year. Both elite defensively, and score under pressure. BKN can spur offensively and get a few wins, but in a series defense is key in making stops. Philly the same. Biggest roadblock this year is probably Boston. Wild card
BAM DPOY
Jimmy is the team leader but Bam is the teams future...
#gomiami🔥🏀
Y’all will regret jimmys contract. One of the dumbest things pat has done
Not a heat fan but come on you rlly think jimmy contract gonna be regrettable?? There team is solid all around and like dude said bam is the future along with herro. Miami in good hands.
@@sumwonpharted8402 Learned his lesson from wade tbh, you cannot underpay stars that come through for you during tougher times.
My center YESSIR 🔥
That's my DPOY 🐐
JJ about to interview the whole starting 5 of the heat lmao
