Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo and Las Vegas Aces center A’ja Wilson have been linked with each other for quite some time now, and it seems like Bleacher Report is adding even more fuel to the fire of these dating rumors.

On Monday, the sports website posted on its X account a hand-drawn picture of the top 20 current NBA players—at least according to NBA legends Shaquille O’Neal , Charles Barkley, and Kenny Smith. All 20 players were depicted in funny or meme-worthy moments.

Included in the picture are LeBron James showing a picture of his son Bronny from his phone, Nikola Jokics watching a horse racing contest on TV, Jayson Tatum reading a book on iconic NBA quotes, Kevin Durant seemingly doom-scrolling, among others. In one of the wall portraits in the drawing, Adebayo is depicted wearing a Las Vegas Aces #22 jersey—A’ja Wilson’s jersey, no less.

Wilson, who saw the post, responded to it with a GIF of a laughing woman.

The romance rumors began when Adebayo and Wilson were spotted together at the Team USA training camp in Las Vegas. The Heat center also went to Paris to watch some of the USA women’s basketball team’s games. They were once again spotted together in Indianapolis last month after the Aces star broke the WNBA record for the most points scored in a single season.

Taylor Rooks wishes Bam Adebayo an ‘A’mazing’ season

Bam Adebayo can’t seem to escape the trolling amid the rumors that he’s dating WNBA’s A’ja Wilson. During the Heat’s media day, Adebayo spoke with sports journalist Taylor Rooks. Rooks ended their conversation by cleverly referencing Wilson.

“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 Bam understood Rooks’ reference, he cracked a laugh, got off the chair, and said “bye” out loud off-camera.

Bam Adebayo became a three-time All-Star last season, finishing third in the voting for the Defensive Player of the Year award and making the All-NBA First Defensive Team. He finished that season averaging 19.3 points, 10.4 rebounds (his career high), 3.9 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.9 blocks.

Meanwhile, Wilson is a two-time WNBA champion, a three-time MVP, a six-time WNBA All-Star, and a four-time All-WNBA First Team selection. She averaged 26.9 points, 11.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.8 steals last season.

The Heat big man and the Aces star are both two-time Olympic gold medalists, winning recently in Paris and three years ago in Tokyo.
