Steven Adams is a funny dude.
The Oklahoma City Thunder center joked that he stayed in basketball shape during the NBA hiatus by "boxing out cows" while he was in his native New Zealand, according to Joe Mussatto of the Oklahoman.
Jokes aside, the experience Adams had in New Zealand during the COVID-19 pandemic was far different than what he would have experienced had he remained in the United States. New Zealand, a country with 4.9 million people, has had just 1,530 reported coronavirus cases resulting in 22 deaths.
