Heat rookie Bam Adebayo is off to a ‘dunk’tastic start, plus other notes from Denver | Miami Herald

Bam Adebayo has a rather simple philosophy when it comes to dunks.

“It’s a quick two points,” the 20-year-old first round pick said Thursday. “And it gets the intensity going.”

After slamming home 101 dunks last season as a freshman at Kentucky – and breaking Anthony Davis’ single-season dunk record during John Calipari’s tenure with the Wildcats – the Heat’s first round pick has gotten off to a smashing start in his first five games in the NBA.

He’s shot 10 of 22 from the field in 94 minutes worth of action – and you guessed it – all 10 of his buckets have come on dunks.
