Ahead of the world’s largest sporting event, which will take place in Paris in less than 20 days, excitement is growing. Before going to France, where they are strong favorites to win the gold, the NBA Dream Team 2.0 has already gathered for training in Las Vegas. Both the women’s squad, captained by A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, and Diana Taurasi, and the men’s team, led by superstars LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant, are anticipated to win their respective championships.
The WNBA season is halfway through, yet the NBA season ended nearly a month ago with the Boston Celtics winning the title. When the league breaks for the Olympics and the All-Star Game on July 17, there will be a lot of unanswered questions when the second half of the season resumes on August 15. A’ja Wilson, the two-time MVP (27), leads the WNBA in scoring with 27 points per game, so there’s no denying her performance. Wilson and Bam Adebayo, a player for the Miami Heat, were recently photographed together, leading to speculation of a possible romance. Bam, who won gold in Tokyo 2020 and is now competing for the United States in the Olympics, is presently in Las Vegas with the squad.
If the reports are accurate, Paris, the City of Love, may see additional growth in their love. With Wilson starting her campaign against Japan on Monday, July 29, and Adebayo taking on Nikola Jokic and Serbia on Sunday, July 28, both athletes are intent on achieving their Olympic objectives. If Wilson and Adebayo’s bond keeps becoming stronger, their future children might inherit amazing defensive skills and could even get the “HOF Anchor Badge” if they decide to play basketball.
