Its crazy how Steven Adams, with all that strength, could have been an extremely dirty player but he ended being one of the nicest in the league by far
I've given Steven Adams a ride when he was still here in OKC. I worked for Uber at the time. Like watching this massive man try to fit in my front seat was....crazy. We talked the whole way and I was completely starstruck the whole time. Even in his personal life he is really kind. I was a fan of his before that ride and even more so afterwards.
As someone who watched his entire tenure in OKC, I've always loved how he brings and old-school toughness and mentality to the game, while being a legit good guy.
Steven Adams deserves to end up on a championship contender,and end up winning a Chip. He's such a great guy. He always does his job on the court so he wouldn't just be a roster spot taken. The guy is a contributes as well...
@@andrewlund6596 He would help any team win basically. It just depends cause he got outrebounded by Looney and the Mephis team is full of kids (trying to act like they are legends by doing the griddy and faking injuries 😭)
Hearing Steven compliment the man from Tennessee's accent really goes to heart because now he's with Memphis and he lives near that accent but yet its also the accent that I have so it really is nice hearing someone for once compliment the southern people accents
These dudes are huge human beings by any standard. We're talking about average 6'4 100KG+. Yet Adams just casually hugs them and picks them up off their feat.
3:22 Adams shooting from his own half court like I would shoot a tennis ball at baby rim is crazy. Doing his best not to put too much strength in of soft touch floater
He’s an amazing role player. He sets solid screens so shooters and slashers love playing with him. He just led the league in offense rebounds and is almost impossible to out box or move in the paint. Hate the term “rough rider” but there’s no denying that he’s one of the toughest in the league. Great teammate and level headed to boot. Glad he’s doing good on a team that likes him
now i know the personality of adams..very calm,funny,helpful and his sportsmanship is admirable.thus,he is so strong and a good model n nba..he deserves around of applause👏👏👏👏
5:35 The *ONE TIME* he looks like he’s smiling and having fun, he’s hit with an RKO outta nowhere and immediately reverted back to “Stoic Steven” once more 😅
Steven Adam's is the roel model of PROFESSIONAL basketball and sportsmanship, a lot of nba are rude and disrespect, Steven carry Himself class and respect
Believe it or not, this might be the most important post you'll read Everyone of us has broken God's moral law, the Ten Commandments. We have all lied, stolen, hated and lusted. And James 2:10 states that breaking one of the Commandments makes us guilty of breaking them all. Problem is, we can never outweigh our sins through good works because the Creator is perfect in Holiness, meaning His standard is far above ours. And He is also perfect in Justice, meaning not a single sin will go unpunished. And the punishment of sin is being cast into hell, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth with no end. Ever. Fortunately, God is also perfect in love, so 2000 years ago, Jesus Christ left His throne in Heaven and came to this earth as a man. He lived a perfect, sinless life and He so loved us, that He took the punishment of our sin, when He suffered horribly on the cross. Isaiah 53 tells us that his face was marred beyond recognition and that he suffered more than any man. But right before His death, Jesus said "It is finished" meaning the the debt for our sins was paid in full. But on the 3rd day, Jesus conquered death and He was resurrected. So that means now, we can go free from the wrath of God's judgment not by earning it, but rather as a free gift of grace, if you accept Jesus. But, a gift can either accepted or rejected. So if you want to accept the free gift or forgiveness, of grace, and of salvation, this is what you should do: Humbly admit to God that you have sinned against Him, and through gratitude in the sacrifice of His Son, repent (turn away) from your old sinful ways. Then, confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, your Savior. Believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross, was buried, and was resurrected 3 days later. Roman's 10:9 and 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 says that if you do this you are saved. I'm not telling you to get religious, because Christianity is not a religion, but a relationship with God. Religion says DO, but Jesus Christ says DONE! Ephesians 2:8-9 says For it is by grace we are saved through faith, not of works, lest any man should boast. And the moment you do this, God will grant you a new heart, which does not take pleasure in sin and He will give you eternal life. Nothing on this earth even close to compares to what awaits believers. What you do with this information will determine where you will be for Eternity; meaning surrendering to Christ is the single most important decision you'll EVER make. And all of us here, believer or atheist, know that this is very true. Jesus Christ wants YOU to come to Him this very moment and I really do hope you put your faith and seek Christ because your tomorrow isn't guaranteed. You could die at any moment. Hebrews 9: 27 "It is appointed unto man once to die, but after this, the Judgment." All praise and honor to Jesus Christ, King of kings, Lord of lords.
Too many U.S ballers love the theatrics, especially when they can't beat his presence inside the paint legitimately and purposely foul him whilst trying to portray him as the bad guy. His attitude towards the team & even opposition is a rarity these days - stay humble big guy. Mans is one of the most underrated & underwhelmingly used centers in the game, highlighted by his severe drop in f/g's over the last few seasons since his earlier years with OKC - and does he mind? Hell no.
Adams playing basketball for the first time: Adams: "like footie?" Coach: "No Steven, not like Rugby... At all." Adams: "But I can tackle?" Coach: "Yeah, no."
Crazy! I never watched a 10 minute video on a basketball player that I barely even heard of but now have a huge amount of respect for his sportsmanship/humanity.💪🏽🔑🔑🔑
Always quality content Golden Hoops but I thought with all those Adams full-court assists you were priming us for that one to Ja against the Spurs...but then left us hanging! lol All good though, look forward to it in the next one! :)
Steven is not only a giant stature but like his great sister the way they play their respective sports with Mana and sportsmanship is how we kiwis love to play sports, tough and hard but respect the opponents and have a beer together afterwards. We are so proud of the Adams. Kia Kaha
I would like to request, once again, that Flight of the Conchords make a music video in which Jemaine is played by Steven Adams and Bret is played by Lorde.

Stand up guy! True professional need more ppl like him
Honestly the most chill nba player I’ve met irl this is why he’s one of my favorite players
This man should’ve gotten an all star in OKC. No I don’t care if his stats were kinda mid, he deserved one anyway.

Been watching Adams since Pitt…He is, by far, the best pirate to ever play in the NBA
1:48 that demar and ja moment was special
Adams playing basketball for the first time:
Adams: "like footie?"
Coach: "No Steven, not like Rugby... At all."
Adams: "But I can tackle?"
Coach: "Yeah, no."
😂😂lol

i'm sure i have seen all these clips before, but i will forever watch every steven adams video
Nobody Can hate this legend ❤️

Also can we just agree that even though Javale talked trash to Adams. Steven Adams would destroy McGee in a 1v1
It's not even a debate at this point lol
In a fricken heartbeat... Adam's walks the talk.
Amazingly he is such a nice guy!

Adams and Boban are the coolest guys in the NBA
look at steven adams bro so inspirational
4:05 AD flops and hurts himself lmao

8:17 lol Adams didn't even body him. He *got* bodied by McGee and still acts like a real gentleman!
Greatest respect for that sportsmanship.
I like how Williams was calling for a foul on Adams but then Adams helps him up and he’s like ‘aaah nvm’ lolol
Impossible to NOT love Steven!
Steven Adams: “I am Aquaman!”
