While some people are upset with Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo's 83-point game, New York Knicks superfan Ben Stiller celebrated it by giving a shout-out to Cam Payne.
During the game, Stiller reacted to Adebayo's play by reposting Jalen Brunson's reaction, simply writing, "Bro what."
However, after the game, he thanked former Knicks and current Philadelphia 76ers guard Payne, who also had a great night on March 10. He scored 32 points with 10 assists and three rebounds. Payne made nine of his 10 shots and was perfect from downtown.
Stiller didn't want his accomplishment to go unnoticed, so he responded to a post with his stats, writing, "In other news... go on cam," along with an admiring hand emoji.
