Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo recently returned from representing Team USA in the 2024 Paris Olympics, where he played a key role in securing a gold medal for the nation. Since his return, the sports world has been buzzing with rumors about Adebayo and his alleged girlfriend, A’ja Wilson, a top WNBA star known for her fierce style of play. An NBA legend recently weighed in on these rumors.
That NBA great is none other than Big Shaq. Shaquille O’Neal quickly noticed the potential romance and didn’t hesitate to stir the pot. Through his Instagram, O’Neal added more fuel to the already existing rumors about the two stars.
The dating speculation reached its peak when Adebayo and Wilson were spotted together at the Team USA Men’s Basketball training camp in Las Vegas. Reports suggest that the pair were seen having meals together and spending quality time. Shaq reposted one such Instagram reel on his story, where Adebayo and Wilson can be seen getting into a jeep together in Paris.
The rumors are growing stronger by the day. A’ja Wilson was also spotted at the Olympic finals between Team USA and France. In that game, Team USA secured a victory with a final score of 98-87 after France’s failed comeback attempt.
Following the game, Wilson was seen congratulating Bam Adebayo on his gold medal win. Similarly, Adebayo was a spectator at the women’s basketball finals between Team USA and France, where he watched Wilson in action.
Both stars have a great bond and have a secret handshake with each other, as seen during the Olympics. Even Adebayo’s teammate Jamie Jaquez Jr. indirectly hinted at their relationship during a video game livestream. Fans are eagerly awaiting an official announcement from both stars.
Bam Adebayo’s potential role for the Miami Heat in the next season
Bam Adebayo is undoubtedly one of the promising stars in the league today. The Miami Heat selected Adebayo in the 2017 NBA Draft as the 14th overall pick. Since then, he has shown tremendous potential on both ends of the court, establishing himself as one of the team’s key players alongside Jimmy Butler.
Last season, the Heat were eliminated from the playoffs by the eventual champions, the Boston Celtics. Despite the early exit, Adebayo led the team in both points and rebounds, standing out as the team’s primary star in the postseason. As the upcoming season approaches, Adebayo will be looking to take on an even bigger role, potentially becoming part of the starting five on the team, amid Jimmy Butler’s ongoing contract situation.
Adebayo is coming off with a victory in the Olympics and winning his second gold medal. With his great defensive prowess, Adebayo will could be a favorite for winning the Defensive Player of the Year award next season.
