As a Kiwi who has been supporting the Rockets since 2013... It's so awesome to have Adams on the team.

[SlizzyTiming]

His Gortat screen is one of the best and one that I dont see too often in the NBA today probably because the bigs are more mobile looking to score themselves.
I kinda feel like the teams adapt to him, its literally the same spacing and positioning he has with every team he has played on and how he's able to create lanes for his guards to make up for the fact he's not a floor spacer. With how efficient he's at getting offensive boards and attention he gets from creating space off screens in some ways that's his way of spacing the floor, he might be one of the few players in NBA that can geniunely make a difference with rebounds, screens alone because most times he has two and even three in the paint tryna box him out which leads teammates open on the perimeter and for the rebounds

[KallousKiwi]

Imagine not caring if someone passes you the ball and all you are there for is to help someone else be better.
How many triple doubles did Westbrook have because Adams was relentless on screenouts or put bodies under pressure on O boards.
How good did Ja and Bane look with the same screen action, easy slashing and space on the perimeter to shoot.

Everyone is looking for a big to shoot, yet when Adams is healthy, his ability to let his shooters shoot more and more effectively had the teams he's been on be top 3 of their conferences. CONSISTENTLY. His ability to shoot from the outside really is irrelevant because if you leave him, he will reset his guard in a better shooting position.

If you were playing money ball, Steve would be right up there. His O Board relentlessness is also completely underrated.

he does so much without recording a single stat, hes always in the other big man's way. hes always making someone spend some energy just to deal with his existence.

this gives me a better appreciation for Adams. 👏🏾

steven adams is the best screener and the best offensive rebounder in the league, and its not even close

[Melomanie-Red]

Steven brings confidence and ease to other players. Like Melo said…Steven makes everyone else’s job easier, LeBron admitted if you go against Adams you’re going to lose 100/100. Very strategic, smart and selfless on every team he’s been on.

[finallyfinally]

Everyone knows he's a strong player but his court awareness and positional play shows great intellect as well

[rikibro]

Adams is different... Beast mode, turnin' the young talent into Superstar.. Lets go

[Aventsdor]

Keep making videos we who do watch appreciate it

[RedderthanReddit]

bro has led the league in screen assists mutiple times already, he's also great at passing after handoffs

[motivationhub]

Imagine him on the Bucks doing that with Giannis

[zorendisto]

Houston team now is complete package , I cant wait to see jabari also contribute and show his potential

[jokenobi]

First vid in a minute great to see the noti again😂

[AweYeah]

0:54 I did not know he had this in his bag. I need to watch more Rockets.

[YaMarnis.]

I love how this truth is spoken. He is a catalyst to opening up the game for the faster players but not many coaches seem to keep Adams on doing this, they want fast and agile bigs but they don't the same results

[maxpower]

A pox on Memphis for letting my favourite player go, Houston got the better end of the deal.

[faieziabubakar]

Man don't need the ball to help his teammates 🔥🔥

[voongnz]

and he let Russ and OKC eat good for the years he was there, he makes every team better and get the most out of their pg.
