Bam Adebayo discussed his ambitions within basketball, saying he wants to change the game with his versatility on both ends of the court.

"I feel like I'm trying to change basketball; being a center, being able to play both sides of the ball and being able to pass as well as I can, that's a difference-maker on a team, especially at the center spot, so it's respect at all levels," said Adebayo on Friday,

Adebayo added that he wants to be remembered as a top-five center or power forward by the end of his career.

The 23-year-old, who signed a five-year max extension over the offseason, said that he feels the responsibility of winning with the Heat.

"Now it's my time to figure out how we can win, how we can get to that level -- where we can raise that trophy. That's my goal. That's the responsibility that I have, and I'm going to figure that out one way or another."
