Call it purposeful ignorance or staying woke, many NBA players are unafraid to voice their far-fetched opinions on scientific or political topics. Freedom of speech is fine in and of itself, but given the powerful platform players in the league have, sharing wild opinions doesn’t always go over well.

Luckily, the OKC Thunder haven’t had any potentially distracting media attention from one of these instances. But we do have a bit of a class clown in Steven Adams.
