A’Ja Wilson’s Kobe, Wilt T-shirt commemorating Bam Adebayo’s 83-point game

As the buzz continues about Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo making history by scoring 83 points against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night, one person who saw it coming was his teammate in WNBA superstar A’ja Wilson. While the sports world can debate the morality of a Heat captain scoring 83 points on Adebayo, no one can take away that milestone, Wilson put it on full display Thursday night.

Wilson will be in attendance for Miami’s 112-105 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday, where she was representing Adebayo’s accomplishment. Subsequently, Adebayo’s 83 points tied him for the second-highest scoring game in a game, ahead of Kobe Bryant (81) and behind Wilt Chamberlain (100), as Wilson used emojis to show the order.

A’ja Wilson speaks on the work done by Heat’s Bam Adebayo

After the historic 83-point game, Adebayo told ClutchPoints it didn’t matter to him that he made history until he hugged his mother and Wilson as they both witnessed the tremendous work he did. Wilson would echo those sentiments when speaking to the media alongside Adebayo on Tuesday.

“I know he says I’m his inspiration,” Wilson said. “But I don’t think he has any idea how much he inspires me to continue to be who I am.”

Wilson continued, “I see the countless hours he put in, I see the early-morning workouts, the question-and-answers, the self-doubt, all that.” “And I’m grateful that God is really special to her. God doesn’t play around with balms.”

At any rate, the power couple now have massive points totals for their respective leagues as Adebayo holds the second-highest scoring game with 83 points, and Wilson holds the record for most points in a WNBA game with 53 points. As a result, Adebayo now looks to continue leading the Heat and extend their seven-game winning streak against the Orlando Magic on Saturday.

A’Ja Wilson’s live social media reactions to Bam Adebayo’s 83-point night

Bam Adebayo captured the attention of the entire sports world with his historic 83-point night in the Miami Heat’s 150-129 win over the Washington Wizards. He now has the second-highest scoring game in NBA history, surpassing the 81 points scored by Kobe Bryant in 2006 and trailing only Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game.

Adebayo’s historic night was also attended by his wife, Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson, and his mother, Marilyn Blount. After the game, Adebayo shared a romantic moment with his girlfriend, who was reacting live to her partner’s poor scoring on the threads.

“Welp won’t set career highs at home anymore 😭 but at least it gives me something to go after 🤭,” Wilson wrote.

Wilson’s career-high scoring is 53 points, which he recorded against the Atlanta Dream in 2023. By the third quarter, Adebayo had surpassed that number.

“60 in 3 quarters!??!!?!?! Yessirrr,” Wilson said.

Adebayo set a Heat franchise record for scoring by the end of the third, when he had 62 points to surpass LeBron James’ 61-point tally.

“A new record!!!” Wilson further said. “History!!!”

After the game, Wilson joked about his teammate’s accomplishment, saying that the NBA would now come for him and test him for performance-enhancing drugs.

“Go ahead and pee in that cup my boi! EOS,” Wilson jokingly wrote.

No one in the world knows Adebayo’s skills on the hardwood better than Wilson, who may have watched the Heat star up close a thousand times in the past. So for him to be stunned by the Heat star’s achievement says a lot.

And his surprise should come as no surprise. After all, Adebayo’s previous career-high was 41 points, and as great a player as he is, scoring isn’t his greatest strength.
