After years of struggling while living together in a single-wide trailer, Adebayo bought his mom, Marilyn Blount, a home she can call her own.Just a couple of weeks after signing a five-year max extension that could earn him close to $200 million if he hits certain escalators, Adebayo surprised his mom with a memorable gift on her 56th birthday."My mom never had nothing that she could call her own," Adebayo said during a Monday video conference with reporters. And what really matters to him in this life."Adebayo, who has placed a photo of the trailer he grew up in with his mom in his Heat locker over the years, made sure a picture of the trailer hung proudly near the front door of his mom's home."I wanted it by the front of the door because I wanted everybody to see where we actually came from," Adebayo said. So that's the main point of the picture."After seeing the strong bond he has developed with his mom over the years, his teammates were overjoyed to see the pictures and the reaction Adebayo's present created."That's his why," Heat star Jimmy Butler said of Adebayo's relationship with his mom.
