The Olympics are a chance for athletes from all over the globe to prove their abilities on the world stage and impress millions of people.
They are also a chance to meet other sports stars and try their hand at different things.
For example, Bam Adebayo of the Miami Heat learned a lot about fencing the other day.
A video shared by USA Basketball and the NBA showed Adebayo picking up a few tips about fencing and waving around a saber.
It doesn’t seem like he will give up his basketball career any time soon but Adebayo didn’t do too poorly in the video.

Adebayo was having some fun on his day off, which is good because he worked very hard during the last game.
Despite some reports saying he could be benched in the second Team USA game, Abebayo instead scored 18 points and went 8-of-10 from the field.
Adebayo has been fantastic throughout all of the Olympics so far, giving his team a huge boost on both the offensive and defensive ends of the court.
This has given the Americans a better chance of winning gold and it’s also given the Miami Heat a reason to be excited about next season.
The Heat were stagnant last season and there are many questions about their future, especially since the front office hasn’t made many moves over the last several years.
But Adebayo is looking like the team’s future and his performance at the Olympics is proof of that.
The Americans will be playing again on Saturday but Abebayo can continue to kick back, have fun, and explore Paris until then.
