During his workouts, Steven Adams’ massive fingers nearly envelop a basketball, making it look more like a dodgeball than something he would dribble and shoot.
All 7-feet, 255 pounds of his frame allow Adams to become one-man demolition crew on the floor for his team, using his length, muscle and athleticism to snag loose rebounds and disrupt opponents’ shots, but his hands do most of the deft work, denying passes, tipping in errant shots and making passes to teammates.
As he recently told the voice of the Thunder on the radio, Matt Pinto, on WWLS the Sports Animal, however, Adams’ offseason work has been centered on his lower body.
