So Long, Steven: Adams Traded to the Pelicans

So many sleeping Thunder fans will wake up from their Saturday morning snooze to some sombering Steven news.

While most of Oklahoma was nestled all snug in their beds, Woj dropped a bomb on Twitter’s head: OKC’s beloved Steven Adams was traded to the New Orleans Pelicans.

First things first, we all love Steven Adams so this is an emotional gut punch.

The Big Kiwi is hilarious, he’s down to earth, he’s the best interview in the NBA, he’s the toughest dude in the NBA, he’s the strongest dude in the NBA, he makes fun of himself, he says “mate” all the time and yet every time it’s still funny, his sister is somehow even more impressive than he is, he looks like Aquaman, he looks like Khal Drago, he takes elbows to the face and doesn’t flinch, he takes Draymond’s foot to his Little Kiwi’s and is still the most fertile, he eats more steak than Da Bears’ Super Fans, he wears shorts and flip flops to formal black tie events, he curses on live TV and it’s somehow endearing, his friendship with Enes Kanter made you believe in soulmates, and oh yeah he’s a pretty good basketball player too.
