Athleticism is size, speed, explosivity, jumping ability, lateral quickness/change of direction and stamina. And except strenght, Adams has nothing really amazing, Wilt, Shaq, Giannis, Dwight howard, Embiid, Blake Grffin, Deandre Jordan, Artis Gilmore, Kareem and many more non famous center were more athletic, Adams isn’t more athletic than AD, Ibaka or Gobert, im sure even Drummond is stronger than him. With non black players we tend to overate their qualities because there isnt a lot of them and most of them are role players, so you have everyone talking about adams strenght like he is fucking Shaq, bro the guy is 265pounds, Zion, Howard, Embiid, Boban are all heavier than him, at least prime Dwight. And im sure players like Lebron, Khawi, Giannis ect are more powerful because power = mass x acceleration, and Lebron or Giannis are both around 250pounds with an acceleration like Westbrook, that’s why they are unstoppable in transition, its not the weight, not the strenght, its the combination of weight, size and speed.
@@Anthonydu01630 he’s literally more athletic than half the people on your list. Also, AD, giannis, Blake and ibaka are all power forwards. The only four players that have a case are shaq, dj, wilt and artis. Because no way in hell Kareem was more athletic than adams. Adams was faster had a higher vert etc. but Kareem is a superior scorer. Also he’s more athletic than Drummond. He’s much faster and has a higher vert.
His stats might not show it, but Steven Adams is probably the best all around center in the league. He’s a jack of all trades, mater of most on the court, has an extremely high basketball IQ and court awareness, stands at nearly 7 feet tall and harnesses the strength of aqua man while also being a great teammate and the most humbled guy in the league. Dudes got all the features you would want to see in a center.
underated! his a type of player that you'll love to be in your team ... high IQ and doesn't demand that much of the ball! he just do his thing, moving without the ball, pick & rolls, and husslin' ... definitely one of my most fave centers in todays NBA ...
I know these guys getting MIP awards are putting huge number increases in but what steven adams has done over these past few years is very impressive 👏 and he should be in the conversation.
Best part is that this guy doesnt give a flying fuck about accolades or recognition. Gets on the court, plays his role every single night, and steps back. True teammate and underrated AF!
Steven Adams the calm nite nitemare definitely one of my fav players ever top 20 top 5 centers Moses malone,Malone, Oneal,wilt chamberlain,Steven Adam's and jonas valacunas
I love the questions from the reporters "...so how did you feel about your offense and stats tonight?" {I don't bloody care mate as long as we win}. The best part is he's clearly dead serious about that. This is a 'glue guy' on your squad. Any team with a player like this one has the advantage over ones that don't. Simple as that. The guy who is first to dive on the floor, set the pick/screen, box out two guys so your teammates can get easier rebounds, etc. Earns every penny he makes.
