The Miami Heat weren’t the only big winners in South Florida Wednesday night.
During a 138-119 win over the Memphis Grizzlies, the Heat flew out free cruise prizes via parachute for lucky fans who happened to catch them. Bam Adebayo’s mother happened to be one of those fortunate people, and she was absolutely glowing about it.
And understandably so! A free cruise! Who wouldn’t be happy about it?
In a postgame interview, Adebayo seemingly wasn’t so convinced. The reporter jokingly compared Adebayo’s mom’s excitement to when her son was named an All-Star twice.
Adebayo proceeded to drop a subdued line about how his mom apparently doesn’t even like boats:
"She don't even like boats like that."

Amazing. Adebayo could’ve so easily told a white lie and said some line about how happy he is for his mom (which he still might be!). Instead, he seemed kind of hilariously shocked about her cruise joy.
Incredible. No notes.
