If you recently think you spotted Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo in North Miami, think again. You probably saw “Dan” Adebayo, his appliance salesman cousin.
In a partnership with appliance manufacturer Hisense, the basketball player went undercover as a Lowe’s employee last week as a practical joke to surpise local fans and gift a free, two-person trip to the NBA finals.
“Dan” spent most of his afternoon shift answering questions about products at the store. He says that his job is harder than his three-time NBA all-star and Heat captain counterpart’s.
“I feel like Bam Adebayo does a lot on the court where he doesn’t have to interact with a lot of people but his teammates,” Adebayo said. “We got to interact with everyone in the community.”
