One of the reasons that Adams was signed to is to create the competitive environment necessary for Sengun's development. That'sa good sign of how much the fron office values Sengun as the franchise player.

[@BossNerd]

Adams should help everyone's game. I can't believe we got him - he's good.

[@whanganuiward780]

Thanks Jackson. For the first time ever Adams is talked about by people who know his game and not use the stats only, to make up a story.

[@tenja42]

Well, that's one Steven Adams aficionado right there🫨

[@08Derrock]

I love this guy on Twitter! He’s a great follow whether Adams is on your team or not

[@matthewcunningham5069]

No way Steven Adam’s is washed. He definitely has a lot left to offer basketball.

[@patriotpatriot1111]

What a great guest! I’ve been following Steven Adam Stats on Twitter for a while. Outstanding content.

[@andreapolesso1261]

If Steve is healthy and full recover is an incredible addiction for the Rockets.

[@samueldeblaw9677]

Good pod guys. Adams may be one of the best under the radar moves the Rockets have made in years. no longer will we bullied in the low post by physical players and our ability to set effective screens will reach an elite level in addition to an uptick in rebounding. if healthy I would love to see the Rockets workout an extension to keep him around

[@arnoldomagbemi3626]

Steven Adams is gonna be an Ime Udoka guy. it's exciting, lets go ROCKETS 🥳

[@MrKarapasa]

true jalen needs the ball in his hands to be effective, score and shine... but against who? vs what teams? 3 seasons we all saw it!

[@redyellow27]

Love the perspective. Think he makes a lot of valid points. Sorry if I missed, it but I think a missed conversation was Alpi and Adams sharing the court together with Alpi at the 4 depending on the other team

[@eyestamihana2114]

💯

[@Brdr685]

A lot of people have said this but adams skill set is ideal for a popovich structured team

[@eyestamihana2114]

EPIC!! RESPECT!!!!

[@JFLY78]

Would love to see Adams go to the Mavs!

[@akdoc2003]

Steven Adams impact? You need to add a quote of his to the board. He was asked during an interview if his screening ability will be helpful for this team and he said: "I don't know. I just like to hit people".

[@folusojoseph989]

[@bronsontehau722]

Thanks for the Stevo content and massive shout out to Funakistats 🤙

[@weihuang7806]

That's awesome

[@supdoc82]

Surprised that you didn't mention that us getting Steven Adams is interesting due to him being one of the draft picks was involved in our trade package to get Harden. Full circle to moving on from Harden 😛

[@TheChuen]

Go Rockets!!!

[@patriotpatriot1111]

Steven Adams picked up Tony Bradley on the Bulls

[@tamerkahraman893]

Steven Adams harika bir transfer ancak hala sağlam dis sutor ve savunmaci bogusacak bir 4 numaraya ihtiyaç var

[@pattrickmerete]

Sardunyaya should take note. That's how you support your player. lol

[@Seriouslydave]

sooner or later, rockets fans, you will be a stevo fan and be on funakistats daily, even jaren bane and ja said they went there every day.

[@brettdryburg8857]

Go Rockets!

[@anastasia85kos]

Go Rockets 🚀

[@brettdryburg8857]

Go Rockets x2!

[@taserienetflix2538]

I feel like we need to add a big IF to everything that was said in this episode knowing he still has not played 5 on 5! IF his knee is 80% of before injury, we can get some of what he previously brought to other teams

[@blundgrenviolin]

...AND some of Adams' game is sure to rub off on Sengun, simply by facing him in practice and having to hold his ground or strategize to play through Adams.

[@VictorSanchezVS13]

Go rox

[@tubee2016]

I can see Adams starting in some games this season.

[@bastadimasta]

I don't. Sengun is a fighter. He won't let it happen

[@hobowithagun24]

Well yeah, Sengun will likely miss some games and Adam’s is next in line…

[@-Yu_Tsugami]

realistic.​@@hobowithagun24

[@LizardBiscuts]

That guy is 100% actually Adams. The accent is a dead giveaway. New Zealand isn't even a real place anyway

[@terryagent_2994]

lol seems real too me here 😂😂😂

[@LizardBiscuts]

@terryagent_2994 nice try! It's why they filmed LOTR there, because none of it is real...duh

[@terryagent_2994]

When the apocalypse happens thatss what we want.
