Steven Adams: Oklahoma City Thunder X-Factor during 2016 NBA playoff run

As Oklahoma City's remarkable post-season run continues, so too does Steven Adams' unexpected emergence. This Spring, the mustachioed mammoth has stood tall amongst a plethora of playoff giants. While Adams has energetically ripped rebounds and swatted shots, his team's confidence has risen to unprecedented heights. Riding this wave of momentum, Oklahoma City's stunned the league, while undauntedly staring 140-24 in the face.

It was presumed that NBA All-Stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook would elevate their play in the second-season, but that Steven Adams has done the same, if not even more, is shocking to most.
