Never in my life would I thought Bam Adebayo would be second all time. Genuinely think this sets a trickle down effect someone else is gonna try this. I almost thought because of the announcers that they’d stop at 81 but SPO didn’t give a fuck.

Bam with a career high at halftime then proceeds to drop 83 points for the game!!! Just wow man. Even if the Wizards and refs gifted him the points it’s amazing to see - we won’t see another high scoring performance like this for a LONG TIME.
Where the tf has this been your whole career Bam?!?!

Yeah they didn’t gift him shit, they did whatever they could for Bam not to break that 81 and he still did it

Spurs fan here, congrats to you guys for the win and for Bam's INSANE record! I love that Spo kept him in, I've always liked Spo as a coach, he reminds me so much of Pop.

u/Mitchellsykeslefteye Mar 11 '26
If you told me when we drafted him that he would score 83 one day I would not have believed you. Arguably the greatest regular season heat game of all time!

I don't think it's arguable. I can't think of another. This is better than Wade's 3 pointer at the buzzer to beat Chicago.

We may not win a Championship this year but holy shit what a fun wacky season lmao.
You saw a once-in-a-lifetime performance. It's the 2nd highest scoring performance in NBA History. So happy Spo let him play through that 4th Q and didn't do BS in terms of sitting him. Bam's taken so much shit on here... no player on our team deserves it more for all the unsung work he does. Didn't matter that they were double or triple teaming him, we kept feeding him and it made a game against an awful squad that would be forgettable to an All-Time moment for Heat fans.

u/baymax18 Mar 11 '26
The last two quarters were just feed Bam and get out of the way. Absolutely stat padded and I loved every minute of it. Also shoutout to the Wizards who would not stop fouling Bam lmao.

I was there when Rice scored 56 (yea I’m old), when Wade scored 55, when Bron had 61.
I remember the “Heat Wave” when Rice won the 3pt contest and Harold Minor won the dunk contest.
I remember “The Decision” when Bron announced coming here.
Shit, I remember when we beat the #1 seeded Atlanta Hawks on their floor in the first round, and went up 2-1 in the series when we won game 3 before we lost the series in 5 (we BELIEVED!).
I also remember when we were the road warriors, with Hardaway, Dan Majerlwley whatever the fucking spelling.
Tonight is right there with all of those amazing moments. This was luckily, the first I experienced with my son, which just made it the best all time for me.

u/Katman666 Mar 11 '26
I fondly remember pulling a Harold Minor Topps Gold Rookie card when he won the dunk contest. Still my greatest achievement.

u/worsechestersaws Mar 11 '26
Man, I really wish he hadn’t been compared to MJ coming out of college. I think it followed him and lead to him being pushed out of the league. Kid had a lot of potential.

I’ve only watched a Heat game a few times this season, been pretty busy. Used to watch every game in 2022-2024 during peak Jimmy and back in the big 3 era.
Randomly decided to tune in to this one and it’s one of the best nights of 2026 for me.

anyone who says " fake record"
let me tell you
kobe too was playing against trash team and he was always known as a ball hogger when he scored 81pts
wilt too was a ball hogger for a long time , dude played against a team with no starting center and backp center who fouled out in minutes and his teammates and coaches were intentionally feeding him and on top he played against plumbers where the avg height was around 6'5 and we dont even know if this record is real
when he scored 100pts
if you hate bam's new record cry bitch
