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.
