Banger of the Night, Halloween Edition: Baby Birdman, Miami Heat
Adam Risman
No banger won the All Hallows’ Eve quite like this future AAU all-star and #StudOfTomorrow. Sources say that after flying the coop on Friday night, Baby Birdman bagged 32 king-size candy bars, 15 street-side high fives, and 6 — COUNT ’EM — 6 bags of candy corn. What a haul! (Don’t ask what item the real Birdman calls “candy corn.”)
This kid isn’t due to score points again until next year, but he’s absolutely worth a stash for keeper-league frontrunners who will need to replenish talent after Anthony Davis retires in 2029.
