During the Miami Heat's media day, Bam Adebayo shared his thoughts on the challenges of being the team's captain, especially with new players joining the roster.

He revealed that Udonis Haslem encouraged him to take on the captaincy role, which he initially did not seek.

Adebayo emphasized that effective leadership is about understanding the collective goals of the team rather than focusing on individual desires.

His perspective on leadership highlights the importance of fostering a strong team culture and selflessness among players.

Despite reaching the NBA Finals twice with Jimmy Butler, the Heat are perceived to need another star player who can consistently score over 20 points per game to support him.

Tyler Herro has struggled to fill this role due to injuries and inconsistency, which has impacted the team's overall success.

Adebayo has been the second-best player on the Heat during the Jimmy Butler era, showcasing strong defensive skills and rebounding.

His development of a mid-range game is seen as a way to enhance the team's offensive spacing, a consistent issue for the Heat.

Looking ahead to the upcoming NBA season, Adebayo plans to attempt at least 100 three-point shots, aiming to expand his game.

Coach Erik Spoelstra has confirmed that Adebayo is expected to incorporate three-point shooting into his game this season.

Adebayo demonstrated his potential from beyond the arc by hitting 36% of his three-point attempts while playing for Team USA in the Olympics.

The Heat must ensure that Adebayo's three-point shooting is effective and not force him to shoot if it is not part of his game.
