Who knows how the series between the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat in the Orlando bubble might have gone had All-Star Celtics forward Jayson Tatum’s shot not been blocked by Miami big man Bam Adebayo, foiling Tatum’s attempt to tie the game.
Adebayo, for one, does not — but he also does not much seem to care about thinking about what could have happened had his timing been just a little bit off, because he makes a point of texting the St. Louis native — a friend off of the court — every year on the anniversary of the historic defensive play.
Adebayo recently had plenty of things to say about that snapshot of Celtics history unfortunately seared into our collective consciousness on a new episode of the JJ Redick-hosted “Old Man and the 3” podcast.
While we wait around for a potential rematch of that postseason showdown later on in the 2022 NBA playoffs, check out the clip embedded above to hear what Adebayo had to say about a moment plenty of Boston fans would prefer to forget.
