    “Can Somebody Explain Co To Me Right Now?”: A’ja Wilson Has Boyfriend Bam Adebayo Baffled Over WNBA’s Co-DPOY Call With Alana Smith

    Fans didn’t quite know what to make of Thursday’s announcement: A’ja Wilson and Alana Smith splitting Defensive Player of the Year. It’s the first time the WNBA has handed the award to two players, and while it’s historic, it left a lot of people scratching their heads.

    Wilson’s partner, Bam Adebayo, was one of them. The Miami Heat big man jumped on Threads with a blunt reaction:

    “Can somebody explain Co to me right now..?!” he wrote, posting it next to a photo of Wilson glaring at the camera with her finger pressed on the table.

    Numbers-wise, both had the résumé. Wilson finished with 2.3 blocks and 1.6 steals a night. Smith put up 1.9 and 1.9. When the votes came in — 29 apiece — the league decided to just split it down the middle.

    Controversy aside, A’ja Wilson’s season has been massive. She’s right in the middle of the MVP race again, chasing what would be her fourth. The Aces leaned on her in the first-round matchup with Seattle, where she powered through defenders in the post and still made life miserable on the other end.

    ESPN even dropped a highlight reel of her series, noting how much sharper she’s gotten in the past year. Lisa Leslie connected the dots to the offseason work Wilson has put in with Adebayo.

    “In the offseason, they played one-on-one, and Bam has not taken it easy on A’ja, nor has she on him,” Leslie said.

    The two have been together since the Paris Olympics in 2024, and nearly a year later they’re still finding ways to push each other — on the floor and off. Wilson’s growth shows it, and Adebayo’s been quick to hype her up. The relationship seems to be working both ways.
