John Henson: Giannis Antetokounmpo was a three-point corner shooter his rookie year he was in the corner shooting threes. He's like, you know, attacking, he'll attack when he gets a chance out. But he was like in the corner, like he was a corner guy. That's crazy. And you know, they put him in the position. We had Caron Butler at the time too playing and we weren't looking good and they shifted. They said’ we're going to start the young fella and let him go.’

Heat assistant coach Butler feels like it's a crime that Adebayo hasn't won the award yet. The assistant coach praised the big man for the solid defense he provides for his team. He recognized that opposing players have a difficult time going up against Bam and tend to use up more energy to get past him. “When you talk about versatility, when you talk about two-way defender, I mean it's a crime that [Bam Adebayo] hasn't won Defensive Player of the Year,” Butler said on SiriusXM NBA Radio.

Dwyane Wade of course won three championships with the franchise over the course of his Hall of Fame career, but recently, he stopped by good friend Carmel0 Anthony’s 7PM In Brooklyn podcast to break down why the most enjoyable season of his career was actually the first. “My rookie year, there wasn’t any expectations,” said Wade, via 7pm In Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony on YouTube. “We were just hooping, we were terrible. We started 0 – 7, we were terrible. So roll the ball out, let’s just go have fun, right. You’re making a name for yourself, you’re living your dream out for the first time, the road trips are new, going to these hotels was exciting. The first year for me was the funnest year I played in the NBA, then I got Shaq in my second year and it became business. Quickly, you got to win now, it changed everything for me. I didn’t get five years to be a young guy, I had to get right to it, right away. So my first year when it was Lamar Odom, Caron Butler, Brian Grant, Eddie Jones, and we made a run and being in the playoffs and all that, we were just out here having fun.”
