Kyle Lowry’s Priceless Reaction to Teammate’s Bold Claim Led to Funniest Press Conference of the NBA Playoffs

The Heat beat the Celtics in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals on Wednesday night and moments after the win, they also won the award for the funniest postgame press conference of the playoffs thanks to Kyle Lowry and his priceless reaction to one of his teammate’s bold claims.

Lowry was looking at his phone during the press conference when he heard Miami center Bam Adebayo call himself a “phenomenal passer.” Lowry immediately called him out on that but Adebayo then showed him the stat sheet from the game and pointed out that he had more assists than Lowry.
