Just as Jayson Tatum was getting ready to take on the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals, he received an unexpected challenge from an old opponent in the East. Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo playfully utilized his viral “Coach” clicks to pull his leg, setting the stage for a hot exchange.
Adebayo was drawn to a post on X (formerly Twitter) that featured a young girl putting her hand behind her neck and posing with her head cocked.
Bam Adebayo openly trolls Jayson Tatum
The Miami Heat player openly mocked Tatum by quoting this image right away. The 26-year-old joked about the Boston Celtics charm by writing,
“She stole your pose, Jayson Tatum”.

This was a nod to what Tatum became well-known for at the end of March. The five-time All-Star posted a similar picture to Instagram to announce his partnership with Coach, to which his followers responded in a variety of ways.
Adebayo was one of the first people to ridicule Tatum at that time, labeling him inanely “Sassy King” in the comments.
And now, nine weeks later, the Heat star is still amused by the latter’s endorsing technique. And just like in the past, Bam was unable to contain his laughter at the Boston Celtics star’s expense.
