Steven Adams on the way the West evolved: “Oh okay… The way you were asking, I was like fuck what happened?”. About the Rockets’ young players:“They’re a little bit older. Not sure if they’re smarter.”
Every interview with him I’ve seen is always a good one.
Also, is he even bigger this year or did I just forget his massive he is?
Camera angle/height of his chair i think. if anything he looks a little more lean to my eyes. What a good dude, he’s been in the game so long and still giving mutual respect and honesty to questions i’m sure he’s heard 100 times by now.
Tbf these guys are always swole on media day until they start losing some lbs from all the running
Yep. My friend played pro and he said it’s literally impossible to keep the weight on, he had an incredible appetite too.
Marshawn Lynch would never.
every season he transforms more into oak
Even when he wasn’t that big, he was still widely regarded as one of, if not the strongest dude in the NBA.
Because of this, opponents would come at him pretty hard; someone asked him about it during an interview, and his response was something along the lines of: “I’ve got sisters bigger/tougher than most of these blokes” 😂
He’s the youngest of like a dozen siblings, one of them being Valerie Adams, gold medal shot putter
Dude is built different, and is probably the most humble guy in the NBA
Edit: More than a dozen siblings, perhaps as many as 21 😅

To be clear, this is not a joke.
One of his sisters is 6’4”, 265lbs, 2x Olympic gold medal winning shot putter Valerie Adams
where’s that tormund gif
She is jacked as hell too
He’s considered the physically strongest player in the NBA.
I noticed too. His arms/upper body looks a bit thicker.
Its pretty common for players to “beef up” a bit in offseason, gain weight since more time to lift weights, sleep, eat. Over the course of season players will often lose a bit of weight and lean out a bit.
Each arm looks almost as wide as half his chest.
Where is the full interview? I want to watch it on repeat while i work today
Never change Steven, you sexy man.
As a Sonics fan, instead of being made at the trade I always rooted for the OKC players. Maybe not the team necessarily but the players for sure. Adams, Russ and Durant are probably in my top 5 favorite players tbh.
I remember a shy, soft spoken, clean cut, no tattoo youngster, what happened to the man I loved 😂
“he got a little older, but not too sure if he got smarter”
The fact he’s never been a Spur bothers me
It warms my heart, yall don’t deserve the monopoly on likeable players
Insane thing to read as a viewer from the 2000s
When you last exist it, Bruce Bowen will hit you wtv a flying kick lol
Believe me I remember that fucking piece of shit Bowen pushing Nash into the scorers table and can’t stand this wholesome bit they’ve leaned into since
Monopoly is wild.
The mild manners of Tim Duncan and wholesomeness of Pop tricked everyone into thinking the rest of the assholes on the team weren’t giant assholes.
Timmy got a tech while on the bench for doing unspeakable things to the ref!!!
Timmy is one of them!
like tony wasn’t banging his teamates wives, spurs had a bunch of assholes LOL

Nah that’s your team
Good. Keep it that way.
This is the greed the bible talks about.
I don’t want the Rockets to win it all, but if they somehow do, I’ll definitely be tuned in to his postgame presser
I will never not miss him on the Thunder.
so Jabari is still lowkey regarded like KD said?
Its not low key no more. Everyone know now thanks to KD. 😂😂
I always wished he was a Knick. A better Mitch with much more stability and reliability.
This dude is so fuckin charming
Lowkey accurate assessment.
That’s just hilarious LMAO.
I thought he retired?
Isn’t he retired
