Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo is currently playing for Team USA at the 2024 Olympics in France.

Adebayo finished his day with three points, five rebounds, three assists and two steals while shooting 1/3 from the field in 18 minutes of playing time off the bench.

The Heat wrote: "Our guy @Bam1of1 finishes the W with:
🔥 3 PTS 🔥 5 REB 🔥 3 AST 🔥 2 STL"

Team USA has so much talent that each game is much different.
For reference, Adebayo had been coming off a game where he led the team with 18 points, seven rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks while shooting 8/10 from the field and 2/3 from the three-point range in 21 minutes of playing time.
Derrick White, Bam Adebayo and Anthony Davis is a terrorizing trio to attempt to score on.

Add in Kevin Durant and Anthony Edwards as the scorers and it becomes unfair.

Adebayo is one of the best all-around players in the NBA and has spent his entire seven-year career with Miami.
The former Kentucky star finished last season with averages of 19.3 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 52.1% from the field and 35.7% from the three-point range in 71 games.
He has helped lead the Heat to the NBA Finals twice since 2020.
