Steven Adams one of my favorite role players. Bro goes in, doesn’t complain, does his job, and is a great teammate. Not everyone has to be a scorer! Love it
He could be a #1 for some teams or #2 for most teams if that's what he wanted. He's skilled offensively and has a surprising amount of hops when he actually gets up. He's stated before though that he just wants to play team ball and not hero ball.
@@omgvague come on now let's not overrate his skills as a player if he was really that skilled offensively he wouldn't be played off the floor during the 2020 playoffs despite the small lineup of the rockets
As a New Zealander, it's heartwarming to hear that Steven Adams is such a great teammate and makes the people around him feel so good. He's a down to earth human being. He was at a small provincial airport here at home not so long ago. He had lunch, then took his rubbish to the bin, went and thanked the staff for the feed. Lovely guy.
ive thought he was aquaman since seeing the promo ik its not him but the proof is right there if u dont look at the nametags so ima assume he doin movies n shit to 😂😂
I loooooove Steven Adams. I remember when OKC drafted him I was so confused, but then I saw how tough he was and even as a rookie he wouldn't back down from anyone! He's such an unique player and character and I've always heard nothing but great things about him as a person. I remember his opinion on playing in the bubble and being unbothered because it could be so much worse.
@@Awkward_Inc3l Ja and so many are only tough behind a gun. There is no gun culture here in New Zealand. Mainly Up close and personal with hands and knives here. I don't think that sack of bones is down for that, if we're being honest.
Being a New Zealander obviously understand everything these guys are saying about Steve 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 probably go hunting with a sword wtf when your a Kiwi and you hear that your in mf tears bro 😂😂😂😂😂
@@DeckofLies Grizzlies could've won it all if not for injuries this season. Dont see Lakers or Denver beating them with Steven Adams. He was that crucial to the team. Got players a lot of open looks/dunks by boxing out. Led the league in OREB. JJJ and Adams was probably the best defensive PF/C combo this year.
As an Aussie, Steven Adams embodies the best of sport - plays hard but rarely, if ever, crosses the line, has that warrior mentality but embodies sportsmanship, no BS and seems like the type to have a beer with the opposition after the match regardless of the result. But I can guarantee one thing, he doesn't wear flip-flops he wears jandals 😅
JRE tend to not have many athletes on outside of MMA or boxing but Adams favourite things outside of basketball are literally hunting, fishing and MMA so I think he would actually be a great guest, he is also good friends with Israel Adesanya as well so having them both on at the same time would be a great pod!
Steven Adams comes from a place where no one really ever makes it. There is so much talent in New Zealand but we are so small to the world that if people make it out, they're gods to us. Shout of Steven absolute legend
After looking at this season for the Grizz and how badly they needed his services ,I now see Steven Adams as “Legit” as a NBA Player can be and is universally respected in the league.
Steven Adams, Jason Mamoa, Cliff Curtis, and Joseph Parker were together at the last All Blacks game just hanging out and chilling with the All Blacks coach and team... classic
Never did I think Steven Adams would turn out to be as important as he is in today’s NBA the toughest man in the NBA in my opinion is Jimmy Butler, and he’s on the record saying, Steven Adams sets some of the hardest screens he’s ever had to run through bt for a guy who’s never been an All Star which is a little surprising by the way u could make the argument tht he’s one of the most important players on your roster and makes your team better I’ve been following his career since his Pitt days and he’s better now then he’s ever been I just wanna see him stay healthy cause he’s key to a lot and a slight difference between winning and losing without having to do much
5:47 would be hella funnny if anyone of them continued saying "aite let's go. you gon be our dinner" after JJJ said, "grab animal like this. take it home."
Stevie is my guy! When in OKC, he played with my boy PJ. We went paintballing and got our ass kicked by 15 year olds. But Steve had his sniper paintball rifle trying to take out kids 😂😂😂
If JJ can get Steven Adams on his podcast you guys can def get him on your podcast, I must have watched JJs interview with Stephen Adams like 4 times start to finish.
Every single time I've heard someone talk about Steven Adams, they all say the same thing. He's incredibly strong, and powerful. He's a genuinely nice guy off the court, and he's highly intelligent. No one has a bad word to say about him, other than they wish they weren't on the receiving end of some of his screens :) All of his team mates, past and present all seem to love the guy, and for a league stacked that many big personalities, for everyone to like and respect you says a lot about you.
His sister Valerie Adams was a four time World Shotput Champion and won 2 gold medals at both the Olympics and Commonwealth Games, and numerous silver and bronze over her career. I think she's NZs most decorated athlete.
Stevens sister is 6'4 270lbs, 2x Olympic gold medalist in the shot put. She's the greatest female shot putter in Olympic history. Strength is in his blood.
As a yank that came to live in New Zealand in 1973 it cracks me up you noticing Steve doing the flio flops in winter. Friday nights downtown in the middle of winter in NZ, kiwis all walkin' 'round in the short shorts (called stubbies) with jandals (flip flops) and a big woolen Swanndri hunters shirt on top and definitely no hats.
The flip flops part had me in fits. It’s a common thing here in New Zealand especially during winter. We call them jandals here. If you think that’s bad we got gang members here who will ride down the state highway full throttle 140km in a muscle v rod Harley in jandals 😂 the real air jordans 😎
Steven is such a great ambassador for (Pacific Island) Kiwis. He's got most (if not all) of their good qualities and maybe none of their bad ones. Has had a hard upbringing but is now an important role model for so many.
@@jloion9870 Or... maybe you're just reading too much into things and picking fights with ghosts... I was just saying he's a good man people can look up to.

@@notimportant3686Yeah he’d be perfect for Luka. Would love to see that

Steven Adams one of my favorite role players. Bro goes in, doesn’t complain, does his job, and is a great teammate. Not everyone has to be a scorer! Love it
I swear hes almost too humble like PURELY does his job but bet he could score well if he chose too.
Yup. I wished more coaches allowed him to score

Probably more likely to appear in a Thor movie if Taika is given another one.
Seems more likely as a guest on Rogan than one on the big screen
like a step brother or something, or a cousin
