A great moment for him, obviously, which has the best season of his career with 24.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.4 medium assists.
“It means a lot. I think back to my arrival in the room, after being drafted, for the press conference. Pat Riley had given the floor to Erik Spoelstra, who said he would make me an All-Star ”,, recall The rear of the Heat, who arrived in Florida in 2019, and whose reaction to this good news was filmed. “I have the impression that, over the years, people expected it to happen earlier.

Tyler Herro, eleventh all-star in the history of the Miami franchise, also recognizes “Vicissitudes and round trips” In terms of the relationship he had with his coach. The latter, in response, can only emphasize “His work”.
“He approached the season with great clarity. He had a clear mind, wanting to have an impact ”continues Erik Spoelstra. “It's nice to attend that. I told him that it was the brand of ultimate respect when the other coaches vote for you because they face you on a daily basis. If they think of you, it is because you are hard to play, hard to face. It is a great compliment. »»
“Have a clearer mind”
The clarity of which the technician speaks is the consequence of not having been transferred in 2023 in exchange for Damian Lillard. In the center of rumors for a long time, the rear finally stayed in Miami and it was necessary to sew the link with his coach. So, since that moment, and even during this complicated period currently for the Floridian team, with the Jimmy Butler file, he keeps his cool and continues to be efficient.
“Frankly, many of these things have helped me, even if it may seem crazy. This allows to have a clearer mind ”he explained to The Athletic. “There were so many discussions at that time that I couldn't do anything about it. I couldn't pretend that it didn't exist. Once I accepted my helplessness, it made things easier to focus only on basketball. »»
Resisting constant corridor noises makes its season and selection even stronger for Bam Adebayo. “I am deeply proud of him because many media have thrown his name into mud or rumors, saying that it was not good enough to do this or that”estimates the interior.
Basically, what does this presence among the other NBA stars mean for him? “This is the next step. I felt that, a moment or another, I will be all-star ”he replies. “It was just a matter of daily work. Good or bad days, I continue to work. It ended up paying. But I have the feeling that it is just a springboard and that it is the direction I want to take. »»
