A day after making first-team All-Defense, Miami Heat center was named third-team All-NBA
On Wednesday, Adebayo was left off the three All-NBA teams after having the best season of his career. The disappointment came just one day after celebrating the first time he made first-team All-Defense.
"In his growth spurt from his rookie to what he is right now has been off the chart," Heat team president Pat Riley said. "Everybody in the league knows what his game is. They all know what he does for us, how important he is for us in a lot of areas."Despite the disappointing end, this was the finest season of Adebayo's career. He averaged 19.3 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 0.9 blocks.
This was also the first time Adebayo served as team captain, filling a role that was held by Udonis Haslem for the past several years. Adebayo handled it with ease, serving as the on-court leader while also being a mentor to younger players Nikola Jovic and Jaime Jaquez. “Seeing Bam’s leadership in a different way as the team captain, that’s been one of my joys to watch him grow, on and off the court," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "But seeing how he influenced in a different way, than just with his inspiring plays on a basketball court.”Shandel has covered the NBA since 2010, with previous stops at The Athletic and South Florida Sun-Sentinel. He has covered six NBA Finals, one Super Bowl, the NCAA basketball tournament.
