The Miami Heat posted a picture of Adebayo, “A’random photo of Bam on this lovely Sunday”. Of course, it was a dig at his dating life, sending fans into a frenzy. One of the fans even commented, “Dawg if A’ja and Bam ever break up it’s over for their digital footprints”. But the hilarious comments did not end there. Many even gave props to the admin whose idea it was to post such a tweet. “Don’t stop cooking Admin”, “W admin”, were some of the reactions.

And to everyone’s surprise, Bam Adebayo finally reacted to the tweet with a funny GIF. If anything, fans were having the most fun with this Twitter interaction.
