The NBA night saw three records fall in one game with Bam Adebayo’s huge 833-point performance. First, he passes Kobe Bryant for the highest individual total in the modern era and is just behind Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game. While doing so, he attempted 43 free throws and scored 36, which is also a league record. Another person who was happy for his three records was none other than A’ja Wilson.
During the WNBA season, Adebayo was at courtsides supporting the Aces superstar. Wilson even mentioned that she is grateful for Adebayo’s unwavering love and support. No, with the WNBA offseason, the reigning WNBA champion attends most of the Miami Heat games, showing support for her boyfriend.
She had an iconic response to his recent achievement, though, and even challenged herself to match him on the stat sheet.
