Bam Adebayo Didn’t Score 83 Points

By Kathryn Tanaka

On March 10, 2026, Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo dropped 83 points in a game against the Washington Wizards. “What a great achievement!” you make think, but I’m here to tell you—it wasn’t him. 

As you may know, Adebayo is dating WNBA powerhouse A’ja Wilson (4x MVP, 3x Finals Champion, 3x DPOY) and it is my belief that he has siphoned power from her to shoot a gobsmacking 46.5% from the field during that game. Now you’re definitely wondering, “Kathryn, how the heck could that have possibly happened?” Well, the WNBA was undergoing some turmoil regarding the Collective Bargaining Agreement, so many players and fans were unsure whether or not the season would begin on time or even happen at all. Thus, as Wilson was vulnerably panicking over her livelihood, the NBA player took advantage of the rare weak point and put her under a stasis spell to extract her GOAT qualities.
