Walt Frazier Jokes on Knicks Broadcast That Bam Adebayo Should Ask A’ja Wilson for Shooting Help

Overview

• During the first quarter at Madison Square Garden, Bam Adebayo airballed a three, prompting Walt Frazier to quip on air, “Maybe his girlfriend can help him with his shooting.”
• Frazier’s remark referenced Adebayo’s relationship with WNBA star A’ja Wilson, a multiple-time MVP known for improved perimeter accuracy.
• Reports cited Wilson’s 42.4% three-point mark last season and roughly 36.5% for her career as context for the on-air joke.
• Adebayo went 0-for-3 from deep in the game and is 1-for-15 on his recent perimeter attempts, reflecting a cold stretch despite increased volume.
• The Knicks beat the Heat 132-125, and no formal responses or disciplinary actions were reported following the broadcast moment.
