Basketball fans shared their reactions after NBA star Bam Adebayo was seen spending time with WNBA superstar A'ja Wilson in Paris. In a few videos that went viral on social media, Adebayo and Wilson were spotted walking out of a store before getting into a car.
Neither has publicly addressed speculations of a relationship. Amid the rumors, the latest videos have added fuel to the speculation.
One fan suggested that Adebayo walking ahead of Wilson, instead of side by side, was likely because the duo wanted to avoid being photographed together.

"Him walking in the front is nasty work. Smfh. C’mon Bamonte."
Another fan highlighted a couple of instances from the recently concluded Olympic games while reflecting on the latest video of Adebayo and Wilson.
"bam hung out with snoop at the breaking competition, and he hung out with LeBron at the women's games, I mean, is that newsworthy? I guess just because they seem to be purposely not walking together."
An X user humorously speculated about what the conversation between the two basketball stars might have been like inside the car.
One fan suggested that Bam Adebayo and A'ja Wilson don't appear to be in a relationship and are likely just friends, while another called the Miami Heat star a "player".
"They don’t give we are in relationship vibes at all. Look at the distance he doesn’t hold doors, hands, etc. this is giving friendship," a fan commented.
"Bam is acting he a player lol. She has to tell him to be more affectionate unless they are trying to hide something that's in the open," another fan wrote.
One of the fans hit out at the person who made the video of the two basketball stars.
"Who is following them around like that with cameras??? Let the girl and Bam have their minute. This could be putting strain on a very fragile moment... knowing they are faced with all the rumors... Let them get things figured out for themselves."
