One thing I'm sick of tho is how the NZ media slander him for not playing for the Tall Blacks in big tournaments. Like big Steve hasn't done enough already with his camps. NZBB gave no f*cks about him when he was younger but suddenly wanna cry cause he wants to focus on the NBA.
@@nathantaurere8255 It is a well known fact that us Australian's steal successful kiwi's, usually because they succeed here first. All that being said, he is awesome and kiwi's are our cousins anyway, ANZAC ;)
Funny personal story I have with Steven Adams. Kind of a long one but you’ll enjoy it, I promise. I’ve lived in OKC my entire life, and have been a Thunder fan since the franchise moved from Seattle. Adams was a family favorite of ours, and when my brother got married I wanted to get him and my sister in law a gift that actually meant something. So I went to a Thunder game with an Adams jersey, and I ran down to court side the second they opened the doors. After Steven was done with his shoot around he walked towards the tunnels and stopped to sign autographs, there was probably 50 people there waiting, and he signed and took pictures with people and especially all the kids. He would chat and was just being sweet, super nice, and a genuine guy. Well after waiting a bit, it seemed I wasn’t going to get my jersey signed. he had skipped over me to sign for my of the children, I wasn’t mad about that at all but figured I had to try one last time to get is autograph. He started down the tunnel to the locker room, giving waves goodbye and I yelled out “Wait Steven! Please sign this jersey for my brothers wedding present, you are our favorite!” He stopped, turned around with a smile and said “what did you say?” I repeated myself and he took the jersey from my hand and signed it, laughing as he did so. As he handed it back to me, he said “Should have got him a better present, mate” gave me a Pat on the shoulder, and walked to the locker room. I got the jersey framed and gave it to my brother the night before his wedding, and shared the story with him. Now, it’s hanging in his living room, and my brother tells that story anytime someone asks about that Steven Adams jersey. Steven is a real class act, an awesome competitor, an incredible athlete with some of the best work ethic In the league. He may not fill the stat sheet every night, but he leaves his effect on the game his own way, fighting for every rebound, setting the hardest screens in the NBA, and just being a fighter every single game. That is why he is a fan favorite, and always will be in OKC. I’ll root for Steven no matter where he goes in the future, and want nothing but the best for him.
That's the best, makes the gift worth so much more. SA has that real non-American hard work ethic that I envy. Same as when things get physical on the court, he just keeps his head up and doesn't let it get to him. I can't help wanting to see him do well.
Not even 20 seconds into the interview and Steven is already eating. Gotta love the guy. Miss him being a Thunder, but hope he does well with New Orleans.
@@salotesua9480 America's a pretty big country. Plenty of Americans value a simple life. Lol. But if you're judging the entire country off of media that's an unrealistic view of most of America.
The cultures are so different. America is driven by all that jj said. You cant recognize how you are while you're in it. Especially if it's all you've ever known. You'll only know when an outsider looking in tells you about the difference in psyche, or you step out and see for yourself.
@@salotesua9480 I agree for the most part, but if you allow yourself to be truly be emphatic to others, you can at least acknowledge your own privileges and realize how the things you think are important really isn’t in the overall scope of life.
Absolutely love this man. The day he called out the rest of the NBA for complaining about being locked down in a resort was the best thing I've seen. The most humble, down to earth player in the NBA by farrrrrrrr.
same. not saying it was easy on them but i was stuck in my home for three ish months and while its nice, it sure aint no resort. no swimming pool or other things for me to do/relax mentally. living off of mostly canned and long lasting food (ramen) while literally not making a single cent for the first six months of 2020. these players live a different life and we cant expect everyone to view things the same way but at some point its too much. if they said "obviously its not easy not seeing ur family, but it could be worse, like we r at a resort" then i can accept the moaning/negativity toward things. like i havent seen my family in three years cuz of covid and i aint crying about it, but these dudes were constantly complaining and its like, shut the hell up. and im usually one to defend these guys and how they spend their money (cuz u know, its theirs and not ours) or how they view things cuz we simply dont live the same life. but yeah, their attitude in the bubble was just too much.
When he first moved to OKC after the draft, he lived right across the street from my grandparents in Edmond. I never had the opportunity to meet him, but being neighbors he and they crossed paths a few times. He was a big kid, like I think he’s just under a month older than me, but was super humble and polite with my grandparents. I know he came over for dinner with them a few times, and my grandmother spoke so highly of him. They were instant Thunder fans watching every game to root for their new grandson. I’ve got the craziest pic saved in like 5 different places so I’ll never lose it of Steven standing next to Grammy who is at best 5’5” wearing his jersey. Once he got his first extension and pay bump he moved to a nicer neighborhood, but let them know and said goodbye. 1000% class act. Idc what team he plays for, to make time for a couple nearly 90yr olds who know nothing about basketball is just plain awesome. Much love Steven
When I grew up in NZ that neighbourly love /respect was common,so I'm not surprised he is the person he is. I haven't lived there for 27 years but most fellow kiwi's I come across since moving away I can instantly start talking to them like I've known them my whole life.
Can we start a petition to get Steven back on the pod? Hands down one of the best episodes. This might be the fourth or fifth time I rewatched it, Steven is just an awesome person. Super grounded and all around great vibes.
The most absolute most humbled and wholesome Kiwi to ever set foot in the states man... not just OKC/Ok loves ya Steven, all of America loves ya m8!!! ❤️
I'm from Steve Adams hometown of WELLINGTON (CITY) NEW ZEALAND, were just layed back easy-going kiwis (NEW ZEALANDER) LOVE IT!!!.. How his nature and humor is is EXACTLY how us kiwis are.Great job Bro!!
Man i love adams. as a neighbour australian i must say i have been to NZ 5 times and it's my favourite country to visit. the people and culture are so beautiful. i love my new zealanders
Alternative title: Steven Adams life coaches JJ Reddick through mid life crisis. "Just calm down mate, don't worry about things that are out of your control."
I religiously watch old man and the three and hands down this is my favorite episode. I've always loved Steven Adams as a personality (ok as a player) but now I'm getting his jersey just because he's the bro.
Steven Adams and Boban Marjanović are like instant locker room legends, you just can't hate em! It's written in their stat sheets: +10 to morale. Funny thing is, Adams is 27 years old but he speaks as much wisdom, as he is 80 and lived a beautiful life.
Such an awesome person. His casual manner almost let's the dimes of knowledge hes dropping wash over you, really intelligent guy. Proud to see a true New Zealander and kiwi attitude on the world stage.
This man's undercover comedy is crushing me right now. Lol. What a Legend. We love you Steven! I would say "continue to be you brother" but I know I don't need to. Thanks for the insights and laughter. I needed it
I watched this when it came out, but UA-cam wanted me to watch it again, so I don't really have much choice but to listen to this beacon of calm and positivity for another hour and a bit.
As a lifelong OKC resident, and Thunder fan from the beginning, Steven Adams is really the only player who truly saddened me to leave the team. Russ was sad but I understood. Durant, well Durant. Adams though, it still hurts seeing him in a Pelicans jersey.
I'm feeling so bad for the OKC fans this season. That team was so fun to root for, and now they're gone. I'm sure it will all pay off in the future, but it must be weird to have a team that's in limbo now.
Im a Nuggets fan and even I was sad to see him leave OKC. He's such a unique and interesting person and is a good basketball player. Can't not love the guy.
This guy declared for the draft for the free food and now he's in the last year of a 4 year/100 mil contract. Congrats it truly couldn't happen to a better guy
I love how chill he is about his early days in basketball: "Got into a coach's workout for five years, ended up being okay, talented, got lucky with the scholarship and now I'm here."
Guys, Taiwanese here. Just to clarify something Steven said about the fermented egg he had in Taiwan. Not everyone here is a fan of the fermented egg. For those who don't mind the fermented egg, it's not like they eat it everyday either. Hope that clears things up :) Cheers mate,
@@AGYAL4L He's not alone. Fermented egg is one of those things that you either like it or you hate it and even the local share the same sentiment. For those who are interested, fermented egg in TW generally is made with duck egg. Once fermented, the egg shell turned grey and egg white turned dark translucent (sorta like amber) and yolk turned black goo. The yolk is what turn off most people because it's got quite a distinct and strong smell to it.
Additionally, some eat it alone and most people eat it with tofu and soy sauce. Tofu + fermented egg + soy sauce and green onion on top is the most common combo.
It’s not just nice. Being too “nice” can come off corny and inauthentic. He’s legitimately KIND. And has an impeccable ability to connect with people in a humble and grounded manner which makes him a joy to be around
I was going to college in Oklahoma at the time, and this woman (I believe a law student) started a campaign to get him to agree to be her prom date haha
@@HealthyCigarette864 he has a soft touch and has a nice floater. His Value however comes from being the offensive rebounder in the league , setting some of the best screens in the league, and just being a solid overall starting center
If I could have a full course meal with 3 people in the entire world Steven Adams would be my number 1 pick. Funny as hell, down to earth and genuine. Such a great personality with tons of stories to tell.
Adams is a total class act. Much love from OKC!! 🧡🌩💙 Watching him grow from a young prospect to a bearded Tongan badass was such a great experience. Plus, when he hit the scene he replaced Kendrick Perkins in our lineup so thank God for that! 😅
Instantly became a Steven Adams fan after this. Exemplifies everything I've come to appreciate about Kiwi culture. Such a grounded dude with an awesome outlook on life!
Wow he’s got my utmost respect, so down to earth and just keeps it real, and it’s so easy to see that he’s just being him, love it, with big men being more and more undervalued he definitely has found a perfect niche for centers who can shoot 3s, but looking at his numbers on basketball reference you can see why because he’s actually a really good shooter from mid range, better than most guards, he’s definitely gonna continue to have a place in the league until he wants to leave and I’ll definitely be watching to see how his career progresses
Had no intention of actually watching the whole video, not n one sitting ne ways, but an hour later I'm still just zoned out listening to Adams lol great guy, great pod👍
This man is waaaayyyyy layed back. Dude just straight stumbled into the NBA like "ok, guess I'll do this for 10+ years and head out". All good bro.
Great comment mate. Ya know what I mean bro.
So honest man it's crazy
Haaaard out!
sounds like Korg

Steven Adams dropped his name into the NBA draft for the free food hahahah. He's a legend
“Free workout shirts” was classic.
What about the good hotels "mate" :D
and was the 12th pick lol
Said he still got the freebies at home and I believe the man 😂😂 legend
He had no expectations or cared if he got drafted or not 😂
Steven adams is a national treasure in NZ and is loved in Aus too. Much respect for getting this gem on the pod

He's doing well......not in new Orleans. In Memphis.
The culture shock of Steven Adams disconnect from the fame culture in the NBA and the US, in general, made JJ introspective on his whole life lol.
So true
Jj never looked so deep into himself
Basically a frat bro talking to a Midwestern farmer..it should make jj question his existence
Yup. It's about what do you truly value. Most Kiwis value the simple life compared to most Americans. That's why we're so laid back.
glad someone else recognized this

I'd love to see Steven Adams come back now that he's been playing in Memphis, even if it's only a 30-45 minute interview.
Steven Adams a humble goat 10/10 best interview couldn't find a better NBA player to be a role model.
"Averaged 6 and 6!" with a cheeky smile lol Steven is a gem
Love hearing a big man who lives in the paint talk about how he sees the game. Not a lot of dudes w this perspective left!
How could you not love Steven Adam such a simple man humble and smart
Man, Steven doesn't realize how good he is. Nobody can guard you dog, go get some buckets 😭😭
Bro 😭
he has stone hands and is only a threat from within 6 feet
@@HealthyCigarette864 hello?? His hands are soft as hell and his midrange game is wet. He's made every three he's taken in the league
@@HealthyCigarette864 he has a soft touch and has a nice floater. His Value however comes from being the offensive rebounder in the league , setting some of the best screens in the league, and just being a solid overall starting center
S. Adams’ natural/genuine like-ability is off the charts! Great episode, boys!!
The pod I've been waiting for.. Kiwi! Aquaman! One of the nicest guys in the nba..
LKW you tuh ayoool
I'm glad hes having interviews like this - it's so nice hearing from someone in the league like him
If I could have a full course meal with 3 people in the entire world Steven Adams would be my number 1 pick. Funny as hell, down to earth and genuine. Such a great personality with tons of stories to tell.
Hes on my top5 list, not politically correct, just tells it like it is
This is by far the coolest MFer in the NBA! So chilled, nothing phases him and such a calm guy! Love this dude so much!
The realest one. We all need more Steven Adams in our lives
I'm an Aussie and love Steven Adams! Would love to have a beer and a chat with the bloke!
Yoooo if Steven Adams was a mood this is it! I love it! 💯😂😂
Adams is a total class act. Much love from OKC!! 🧡🌩💙
Watching him grow from a young prospect to a bearded Tongan badass was such a great experience. Plus, when he hit the scene he replaced Kendrick Perkins in our lineup so thank God for that! 😅
Gotta love the aussie and NZ athletes, just achieving greatness with a casual atitude
Such a great interview! Steven Adams has really figured this life thing out
At 27
Instantly became a Steven Adams fan after this. Exemplifies everything I've come to appreciate about Kiwi culture. Such a grounded dude with an awesome outlook on life!
As a long time Thunder fan, Oklahoma City native, and Steven Adams fan it’s a pleasure for someone to get Steven on a podcast.
Steven is so down to earth. Great dude and great to hear his stories
This man is the definition of chill... just go with the flow and everything will work out fine...
Kiwi sayings.
She'll be right.
No Worries.
Sweet as bro.
Its not like the dog died.
Relax.
Please interview him again. Steven Adams is hilarious
I've been waiting for this! Shout out to Steven, always loved him in OKC hope he has a good career in NOLA!
Wow he’s got my utmost respect, so down to earth and just keeps it real, and it’s so easy to see that he’s just being him, love it, with big men being more and more undervalued he definitely has found a perfect niche for centers who can shoot 3s, but looking at his numbers on basketball reference you can see why because he’s actually a really good shooter from mid range, better than most guards, he’s definitely gonna continue to have a place in the league until he wants to leave and I’ll definitely be watching to see how his career progresses
I love Steven adams he’s literally one of the chillest dudes of all time
I still can’t believe I got to watch this guy at Pitt for a year.
always loved kiwi dude's humble and hard-working, miss him in OKC
I've never clicked on a video so fast! Steven is a lej
