Bam Adebayo's 83 is Hated and That's Good

After he crossed the 70 point threshold, I was rooting for Heat center Bam Adebayo to break Kobe Bryant’s 3-point line era record of 81 points in a game. There wasn’t much logic to my feelings on the matter. I just wanted to see the inconceivable happen, no matter its meaning. I was shocked when notified that Bam had scored 31 points in the first quarter against the woebegone Wizards. But this possibility? Astounding. Make it so. Engage the the Kobe fans. Photoshop Bam’s face on Wilt Chamberlain’s body. Bring me the Black Swan event via an undersized big whose career average is 16 points per game.
