ESPN story:
Celebrate Bam Adebayo's 83-point game, don't debate its merits.
People will hear about Adebayo's story of growing up in a single-wide trailer in rural North Carolina and overcoming adversity to reach the NBA.
Many (Lakers fans) had already seen or heard that the Heat had fouled late in the fourth quarter to help extend the game and forced Adebayo the ball in the second half,
Spoelstra drew some ire for leaving Adebayo in the game as the lead grew to over 20 points and then for challenging a charging call on Adebayo with less than four minutes left in an attempt to squeeze more free throws.

Nothing to debate IMHO: childish lack of sportsmanship starts and ends the list. Players and coaches.
But, but, but: HE LIVED IN A TRAILER!!! That changes EVERYTHING!!!!
Eh. To each his own.
