Bam Adebayo has recently broken Rony Seikaly's franchise record for most double-double performances, and he's now focused on Udonis Haslem's all-time rebounding record. After passing Alonzo Mourning on the Heat's rebounding list, Adebayo has 4,864 rebounds and is closing in on Haslem's 5,791 rebounds. While Adebayo may not surpass Haslem this season due to game limitations, he is on pace to achieve this milestone in late next season, proving his dedication to improving and collecting records within the franchise.
When I was playing, every time I got one rebound, I used to look at him and say: 'That's another record,'” said Haslem, who retired after 20 NBA seasons at the end of the 2022-2023 season.
Bam has been letting me know that he's creeping up, that he's going to catch me. But my response is, 'Not this year.'
Adebayo, 27, enters Friday night's matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves at Kaseya Center with 4,864 rebounds since being drafted by the Heat in 2017.
He's been texting me every spot, every spot he comes up the chain, he texts me.”}],
