Knicks legend pokes fun at Bam Adebayo during Heat loss

Knicks legend Walt Frazier, calling the game courtside at Madison Square Garden, jokingly suggested Bam Adebayo's girlfriend A'ja Wilson could help him improve his three-point shot after an early airball.

The New York Knicks defeated the Miami Heat 132-125 at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. Early in the first quarter, though, Heat big man Bam Adebayo airballed a three-pointer from the top of the arc.

Watching from the broadcast booth, Knicks legend and seven-time All-Star Walt Frazier didn't hold back.

Known for his sharp commentary on the MSG Network, the two-time NBA champion (1970, 1973) delivered a biting remark on live television.

"Maybe his girlfriend can help him with his shooting," Frazier quipped, referring to Adebayo's relationship with four-time WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces. The pair has been together since 2024.

Wilson is no stranger to long-range shooting herself, boasting a 36.5 percent career three-point mark and an impressive 42.4 percent clip last season.

Adebayo, by comparison, is not so effective, shooting 31.0 percent for his career and 33.0 percent this season.

The 28-year-old missed all three of his three-point shots (0/3 3PT) vs. the Knicks.
