@Tarnellbrown, @HouseBlaster: The lead had already been changed to "Edrice Femi" at 00:26, hours before this post. —Bagumba (talk) 04:40, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For the future: anyone changing his name to "Bamonte" is committing vandalism. That's a funny nickname that JaVale McGee gave him. His real name, Edrice Femi Adebayo, is widely available on the internet, including in his bio on NBA.com. https://www.nba.com/player/1628389/bam-adebayo/bio Succubus MacAstaroth (talk) 22:20, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
