Heat's Bam Adebayo: Block on Celtics' Jayson Tatum Is Best Play I've Ever Made

Miami Heat big man Bam Adebayo was a highly regarded high school prospect, an All-SEC performer at Kentucky and an All-Star in the NBA this season, but he said he has never made a better play than his block in Tuesday's 117-114 victory over the Boston Celtics.

According to Mark Medina of USA Today, Adebayo called his block on Tatum in overtime his "No. 1 play" he's made at any level of basketball.

With Miami nursing a two-point lead in the final five seconds of overtime in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Adebayo blocked a Tatum dunk attempt as the Celtics star came storming into the lane at full speed.
