On Monday, Thunder center Steven Adams' autobiography “Steven Adams: My Life, My Fight” was released, co-written by Madeleine Chapman. It's an expansive look at Adams' life, from his youth in Rotorua, to his teen years in Wellington, to his rise to the NBA.
It's a must-read on Adams, and should be purchased, not just for Adams' candor and Chapman's writing, but for some great Adams family photos, and a hilarious glossary of terms at the end which explains basketball terms and some of Adams' slang used throughout the book.
But here are three highlights. The Oklahoman will run more highlights on Wednesday:
