Bam Adebayo gave A’ja Wilson some leadership advice after the Aces lost by 53 points last season:
Bam: She was like ‘should I send my teammates a text message?’ I was like ‘yeah! Y’all just lost by 50! She typed it, deleted it. Typed some more. She was like ‘I don’t want nobody to hear offended when I send it.’ I was like ‘Y’all just lost be 50? If somebody takes that the wrong way you should honestly look at them differently.’
The text A’ja sent to her team:
“If you weren’t embarrassed from yesterday, then don’t come into this gym. You’re not needed or wanted here. We need the mindset to shift because that was embarrassing.”
The relationship these two have is truly special. 🔥
