During the Thunder's latest playoff run, Steven Adams became a worldwide star. His older sister, Valerie, was already one.

Valerie entered the Rio Olympics as a two-time gold medalist in the women's shot put. She took home silver last week for New Zealand.

In an interview with Sky Sport New Zealand, Steven said he's happy to take a backseat to big sis.

“I didn't really appreciate it as much as I do now,” Steven said. “Witnessing her in that environment just blew me away.

The normally nonchalant Adams, who shook off not one but two crotch shots from Draymond Green in the Western Conference finals, said seeing his sister compete actually made him emotional.
