“When you get in this profession, you want the coaches to put more on y...” — Bam Adebayo Quote

When you get in this profession, you want the coaches to put more on your plate.

I just bring energy, try to put myself in a good mood, because you're not going to get through practice if you're drowsy, don't feel like doing nothing. Then it's going to be a long practice and coach is going to be all over you.

If I have friends in town visiting, we'll go get dinner, but if I'm just by myself, I'm at the house, watching random TV shows.

My mom never had nothing that she could call her own. So growing up and being able to do something different with basketball and be a special player, that was something that I've always had in my mind, I've always wanted to do. And just having the opportunity to do it for my mom is an incredible experience.

I spent a lot of my career fighting coaches. When coaches told me don't shoot, I'd shoot anyway.

My coaches have always been on my side, motivating me to try harder and harder every day, which is not easy.

There's always been conflict, inherent conflict between players and coaches.

I've always said, other than my dad, coaches had the greatest impact on me.

The most important relationship a head coach has on his team isn't with the other coaches, the owner or the general manager. It's with the quarterback. He's the one who runs the show on the field; He's the ultimate extension of his coach. If there isn't a high level of mutual trust between them, both coach and quarterback will be doomed.
