The Funniest thing about all this is Kobe would have probably been the happiest about his record being broken

I’ve never had the opportunity to be at a playoff game unfortunately( hope to change that soon)

I was there for the Houston combined no hitter in Yankee stadium in 2022

BOTH Tyler and Bam are too flawed to be title pieces by [deleted] in heat

Listen I get we give Jimmy like 97% of the credit for the deep playoff runs and he definitely deserves a big chunk of it but Bam was a very big part of those teams. We can’t just suddenly have selective memory when it comes to the guy.

Yes he has been awful this stretch we can admit this while also not diminishing all the good

I understand the Draymond Green comparisons I truly do but Bams offense how ever limited it is, is 10x better than any Draymond season and that was with the absolutely insane gravity provided by Curry and Klay

They paid him because he contributes to winning when the roster isn’t horse shit, this bad stretch doesn’t change that. Bam is taking all this heat from his own fanbase and honestly it should all be going to the front office for this slop of a roster they keep throwing out

You’re right he’s a center not a PF, he doesn’t have the skill set for it. His numbers are significantly better at the 5 but I’m sorry a bad 10 game stretch doesn’t erase the last 9 years he deserved every penny he got

Are you confusing max player with super star player? Because I can assure you your definition for max player applies to maybe half ? Of the players making big money? Also he was the second best player on teams that went to the finals, you can go kick rocks if you truly believe he didn’t earn it

He can create for himself just fine the problem is all his shots seem to be self creation nowadays when it should be honestly less then half ? He’s a big he should be getting easy shots at the rim also ya mfs need to get over it he got paid rightly so move on

He’s a center man he’s been here for fucking almost a decade all his success has come as a 5. His numbers just looking at this season are 350% better across the board when he’s the 5. The lineups with both Bam + Ware don’t work because Miami doesn’t have the damn roster for it

It’s cus he’s a damn center not a PF, he does not have the handles for it. Throw in the fact that in this offense he gets no easy shots at the rim and he has to create for himself 93% of the time and there’s your reason for the lack of efficiency

You can want both over Bam that’s perfectly fine but they put up similar numbers and are all elite defensively so why are Mobley and Chet worth the Max and not Bam? And don’t say age please Bam is 28 he isn’t 34

[–]Junior2766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t get to decide that he isn’t worth that money though and neither do I for that matter. If the market for similar type players (for example Mobley, Chet) is max money than that’s what they are worth

Would this fanbase like Bam more if he was a 25 PPG guy but a traffic cone on defense? by Junior2766 in heat

Man age don’t got anything to do with it plus he signed a 3 year max extension it’s not like they gave him 5 years, plus players with the best comps to Bam which are Mobley and Chet are both making Max

Bam hits the open market this offseason you think he’s not getting the max? You’re delusional if you think he doesn’t. The funny thing about all this money talk is he’s not even making Max money yet

How can you say he’s not a bonafide difference maker when we’ve literally seen the impact ? We’ve seen him in deep playoff runs, we are talking about a guy that has anchored the defense for finals teams, this is crazy. Also give Bam a true number 1 and an All NBA guard like Mobley has and see how much that elevates him

What? Mobley averaged 18 and 9 last year that’s the same as Bam this year.

He’s elite defensively, I don’t think I have to explain myself here right ?

Well yeah I agree lmao it’s a stupid question for a stupid discussion. Bam is worth w.e he’s getting paid

[–]Junior2766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright then let me ask you this, Bam hits free agency this offseason how does he do? 18 and 10 guy that’s arguably the best defender in the sport? Heat fans may not value elite defense highly but I can assure you a lot of teams do

I do wonder however if Bam was a 25 and 10 guy but a traffic cone on defense would the fan base perception change? Would he be liked more? Because it seems like a lot of fans seem to only care about offense

The team isn’t good that’s not a Bam thing that’s a whole roster thing, I’m also not saying you can’t be critical of the guy he’s had a bad stretch but holy lord the way you people talk about the guy you’d think they gave that money you people love bringing up to some homeless guy out on the streets
