A'ja Wilson's special handshakes are not reserved for just Bam Adebayo. Though the interaction between the pair of gold medalists made headlines after Team USA's women's basketball squad defeated France at the Olympics, a recent photo dump from the Las Vegas Aces star showed she also had a unique dap moment with Jayson Tatum's son Deuce.

The Boston Celtics standout gave his stamp of approval on Instagram writing "Auntie A'ja" on top of the above video on a story. The elder Tatum, like A'ja, is also fresh off winning gold but his playing time was a subject of much discussion around the men's team.

Wilson's other flicks included a pic with Snoop Dogg, who she sat courtside with for some of the Olympics action. A'ja also took photos with Olympics legend Michael Phelps, former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick and USC standout JuJu Watkins, amongst others.

Of course what A'ja did on the court at the Olympics helped Team USA secure an eighth straight gold medal, as she and New York Liberty star Breanna Stewart were the driving forces for the team during the competition.

Wilson is now back in action with the Aces, though she and her three other Olympic teammates did drop the first game back to Stewie and the Liberty. That didn't stop A'ja from putting up another huge stat line however, she finished the game with 24 points and 11 rebounds.

Regardless of the recent outcome, Wilson has plenty of reason to celebrate. Which obviously includes a variety of secret handshakes.
