‘Hi mommy… I’m in media’: Bam Adebayo amusingly takes call from his mother in press conference

Bam Adebayo had busy night Friday, and it didn’t stop after moving on to the Eastern Conference Finals. 

As is customary, Adebayo was partaking in his postgame press conference until his mother interrupted. 

After his phone began to ring, Adebayo stopped discussing Jalen Brunson and told reporters to ‘hold up’ before taking the call. 

‘I have a lot of respect for Jalen and it’s not just… hold up,’ Adebayo said. ‘Hi mommy… I’m in media.’
