A’ja Wilson and Bam Adebayo have been linked with each other for a few months now, and now Bleacher Report is teasing them with innuendos.
On Monday, BR shared a post featuring the top 20 NBA players selected by Shaquille O’Neal, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley. All 20 players had something funny poked at them in the picture.
LeBron James was showing his son’s picture on his phone, Kevin Durant was checking his social media, and Nikola Jokic was watching his horse racing. In the corner, Bam Adebayo was in the Las Vegas Aces jersey with the #22 number on his chest.
A’ja Wilson wears #22 with the Aces. Adebayo wears #13 with the Miami Heat. She reacted to the post with a laughing gif.
The dating rumor between Adebayo and Wilson started when they were spotted together in Las Vegas during the Team USA training camp. Adebayo also watched some of the Team USA Women’s Basketball team’s games in Paris.
Shortly after the Olympics, they were again seen together in Indiana. Wilson was scheduled to play back-to-back games against the Indiana Fever.
Taylor Rooks hilariously wishes Bam Adebayo an “A’mazing” season referencing A’ja Wilson
After the Miami Heat teased Adebayo referencing A’ja Wilson, Taylor Rooks followed it up with another joke. On the Heat Media Day, when Adebayo spoke to Rooks, she ended the conversation with a hilarious A’ja Wilson reference.
“You had a great summer, I hope you have a great season. I think that your season will be A’mazing,” Rooks said.
As soon as he saw Rooks making the joke, that too with a gesture, he got off the chair laughing and said “bye” out loud from the background.
Last season, Bam Adebayo made his third All-Star selection and finished third in the Defensive Player of the Year Award. He also made the All-NBA Defensive First Team.
He finished the season with 19.3 points, a career-high 10.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks per game.
