Steven Adams is a colossal human being.
At 7-feet tall and 255 pounds, the Oklahoma City Thunder center is a daunting presence in the paint, to say the least. And Adams’ newest teammate, Carmelo Anthony, simply is in awe of the New Zealander’s size.

While Anthony surely issued that comment in good faith, Adams didn’t exactly take it as a compliment.

We’re curious what character Anthony would compare Russell Westbrook to.
