Bam Adebayo Looking Forward To Breaking Miami Heat Record For Most Total Rebounds

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo is not only looking forward to breaking Udonis Haslem’s franchise record for career rebounds, but he is looking forward to having a little fun with it.

Haslem owns the mark with 5,791 rebounds, but Adebayo is gaining. He is on pace to break the record during the 2025-2026 season. He has 4,275 total rebounds, good for fifth place in Heat history.

“That is one record I cannot wait to break,” Adebayo said during an appearance on the Tobin and Leroy Show. “Because when I break it, you might think I won a national title the way I might throw that ball. I hope he’s at the game and its at home.”

Adebayo then threw some more shade at Haslem. He said he will present the ball to Haslem if it’s a home game.

“First of all he’s gotta be at the game, because I am gonna be like ‘listen there’s this little stretch right here where I’m going to break your record,'” Adebayo said. “I hope its at home, I hope he’s sitting courtside and I’m going to give him the ball and tell him you’re second now. I feel like if it had to be anybody, he would choose it to be me.”

Haslem played all 20 NBA seasons with the Heat, retiring after the 2022-23 season. He now does a podcast with former college Mike Miller and makes appearances on ESPN as an analyst.
