NBA x WNBA Romance
But for whatever reason, this obvious couple does not want to officially put it out there…
We noted the NBA rumors a few weeks back that A’ja Wilson and Bam Adebayo were dating after some public scenes of affection together, including a secret handshake.

That would be totally fine with two single people of such a similar age and profession. They were both at the Olympics and won gold medals. It almost makes too much sense for them to be a couple despite very few instances in the past of WNBA and NBA stars dating. Especially not players of this caliber as Wilson looks to set some WNBA records this year and claim her third MVP and possibly a third-straight ring for the Aces.
A’ja Wilson’s boyfriend can handle being less successful than her at basketball, right? Not that the Bam Adebayo stats are bad, but he’ll never be in the MVP running in the NBA.
Bam and A’ja Are a Couple, Right?
But for whatever reason, this obvious couple does not want to officially put it out there that they are a couple. The WNBA rumors heated up this week when Miami-Dade County awarded Adebayo with a special key to the city on Wednesday.
Guess who was in attendance? As the Miami-Dade County mayor hilariously pointed out, the Las Vegas Aces star was there to cheer Bam on for his big day.

Sure, who among us hasn’t gone on your typical flight from Vegas to Miami overnight in the middle of the week to support your friend of the opposite sex? Very normal things here.
Wilson was in action Tuesday night when her Aces defeated the Chicago Rebounders Sky with Wilson dropping another 30 points and 14 rebounds as the Aces continue their push towards the playoffs.
She does have some time off as the next Aces game is Friday night in Connecticut against the Sun. But that’s still an interesting mid-week trip to Miami. After the ceremony, Wilson had a funny response to the dating rumors:

Guess They’re Taking Their Time
Let’s remember that Wilson and Adebayo are in their late 20s. Many people in their generation are going through hell right now with relationships with all the cheating and scheming going on out there. They have the right to take it slow, and they may not mind the attention they get at these little public interactions.
But it is funny how it looks like if you’re an NBA star today, you have two options for your relationship status. You can be extremely private about things, like how Giannis Antetokounmpo made NBA news over the weekend when he married his longtime girlfriend in Greece after a decade and three kids together.
The other option is you can be messy as hell with public drama like Zion Williamson and Moriah Mills last year:

So, if A’ja and Bam want to take the due diligence to properly scout each other out before making this official, that’s respectable in this day and age. Who you decide to spend your precious time with is very important.
