The big man is now a central piece of the Miami Heat’s puzzle, but what kind of deal is he on and how much does he earn per year? Let’s find out.
Having been named to Team USA’s roster for the Paris Olympics this summer, focus has fallen on the Miami Heat’s center. While there are those who have opposed his selection, it’s clear that he deserves to be counted among the best in the league.
Edrice Femi Adebayo is the name of the man we know today as ‘Bam’ Adebayo. When you consider for a moment that his nickname was given to him by his mother after she found a commonality between her son and the baby boy seen in the popular “Flintstones” cartoons of the 70s and 80s – his name was ‘Bam Bam’ – you can understand that Adebayo is both strong and incredibly mobile, qualities that the character in question possessed. Indeed, those were two of the main characteristics seen on screen in the famous animated series as ‘Bam Bam’ would often be seen lifting stones the size of a house, while still a baby that was unable to even walk. Clearly, Adebayo’s mother had her hands full.
