Steven Adams: From Kiwi Grit to NBA Star

'Kiwi Grit: The Steven Adams Story'

Steven Adams wasn’t supposed to make it.

Born in Rotorua, New Zealand, as the youngest of 18 children, life wasn’t easy. His father, a former British Navy man, passed away when Steven was just 13, leaving the family struggling. Young Steven was heading down a rough path—getting into fights, skipping school, and causing trouble.

But basketball changed everything.

At 15, standing 6'5' with raw athleticism, Adams was spotted by a local coach who saw potential beneath the rough exterior. With no real experience in the sport, he was given a shot—and he took it.

From New Zealand to the NBA

Adams moved to the U.S. for prep school, where his work ethic became legendary. He’d wake up at 4:30 AM to lift weights, then practice for hours after school. His relentless hustle earned him a scholarship to the University of Pittsburgh.

After just one college season, the Oklahoma City Thunder drafted him 12th overall in 2013. Many doubted him—'Who is this giant Kiwi?'—but Adams quickly proved he belonged.

The Enforcer

Adams became known for his toughness, setting bone-crushing screens and battling bigger stars in the paint. He didn’t care about stats—just winning. His humility and dry humor made him a fan favorite.

When asked about his infamous 'stache brothers' look with teammate Mitch McGary, he deadpanned: 'It’s just facial hair, bro.'

Legacy

From a troubled kid in Rotorua to an NBA star, Adams’ journey is about perseverance. He never forgot his roots, often returning to New Zealand to mentor young players.

'Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard,' he’d say.

And Steven Adams? He always worked the hardest.

The End.

Fun Fact: Adams once said his NBA salary allowed him to finally afford 'real food, not just instant noodles.' Classic Kiwi humility! 🥝🏀
