With two big players like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo on the same team, Erik Spoelstra is struggling to come up with a game plan for the Miami Heat.
Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra explained why building a relationship with new acquisition Giannis Antetokounmpo will take time compared to his long-standing bond with Bam Adebayo. Speaking to SiriusXM NBA Radio, Spoelstra noted that he and Adebayo have navigated years of shared NBA and Olympic experiences together, developing a family-like connection that cannot simply be replicated immediately on day one with a new player.
