MIAMI — Bam Adebayo would be the perfect face of the Miami Heat as they open their season Wednesday night. He’s a good veteran, a pro’s pro. He comes with a heartwarming backstory of his mother taking him from the hard streets of New Jersey to the back country of North Carolina to keep him out of trouble.
Adebayo also grew up — and grew good — in the Heat organization, where he’s friendly enough to remember people’s names.
“I’m excited for this season, just like the start of every season,’’ Adebayo said after practice Tuesday afternoon. “Let’s get going.”
