Күн бұрынBam Adebayo has rapidly become one of the best big men in the league. But his journey getting here was quite rough, and he was always overlooked throughout his life. Hope you enjoy the video!

If was him I would be nervous as hell either like I think reaching the finals do make ppl nervous but you can pretty much make yourself confident and you got the bros/team by your side so yeh but like doing something that make your mom happy idk if the nerves everything I ain't complain about him getting nervous

@@BarrackObamium420 I know but it's still funny. Every decent person loves his parents and giving them something like a house should be no deal at all, but they put so much effort, time and energy into you, meaning if you ever accomplish somtething it is because they raised you. I can't imagine the emotions Bam went through but still man, it's funny how much of a weight it is if he compares it to the Finals.
