Bam Adebayo felt not being among the finalists was disrespectful despite playing in only 56 games.


By Dave McMenamin ESPN Staff Writer:

"Disrespectful," Adebayo said Monday when asked about the announcement of the finalists. "I feel like I can do anything that two out of the three can do, besides, I mean, I can't teach height. But they all three play on TV more than me. So I would expect that. They get more TV games and they get more exposure. People like to talk about them more. Don't nobody want to talk about us. So, it's whatever at that point."

I love that I get to love Bridges now. I know I criticized him a lot before this year, but it didn’t make me feel good doing it. He is genuinely one of the most likable guys that’s ever worn a Suns jersey and I’m stoked he’s started to reach his potential for us!

What two of the three is Bam referring to? He's not saying he can guard the perimeter as effectively as Mikal, right?

It sounds like he thinks the other players got more television coverage.

Bam would get ate up by any decent 1 or 2 on the perimeter.

 

[Sunburn]

Agreed. Bam sucking on some seriously fermented sour grapes.

Imagine Bam on Booker and just lol

He’s my favorite player.

what is not to like, always gives 100 percent, is a total Ironman, perfectly unselfish teammate, and he has a great personality

 

[Hoop Head]

I'm impressed Mikal beat out Gobert in the voting. The east coast media bias comes into play. They should handicap it for western conference players, or rather those who play primarily in the Pacific timezone.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Well. Maybe this helps a little. The entire team can use this. It's not about getting angry. Anger does not usually help in playing sports except in situations that demand only raw physical exertion. This situation helps the team maintain focus. It reminds them that they have not yet arrived. It keeps this team humble and hungry.

 

[Mainstreet]

It would be crazy if no Suns wins an NBA award and they finished 8 games ahead of every other NBA team.

Compared to Bridges, Bam is Jimmy Butler's ventriloquist dummy. Talking about rubbing off the wrong way.

Bridges is a better teammate and it's not even close.

Anyone getting a bit nervous about the Warriors gelling?

Anyone getting a bit nervous about the Warriors gelling?

I am. Klay is making strides, and Poole is maintaining his level of play. Green seems healthy again.

 

[Chaplin]

Anyone getting a bit nervous about the Warriors gelling?

No. We still have at least 7 games before we even know if we are playing them. And they still have to face another team too. We have our own road to travel.

Warriors are good. Am I nervous about them? Nope.

 

[95pro]

Least the warriors have to go through the grizz or wolves. I can see the wolves/Bev beating them up. Grizz wouldn't be a push over too.

Hopefully we can finish our round 1 in 4 or 5 games, then it looks like the jazz/mavs will go 6/7 games.

Absolutely I am concerned. If it's Suns / Warriors that looks like the real NBA Championship to me.
