Steven Adams basically commits elder abuse this entire video by posting up Dirk Nowitzki and shooting hook shots over him. I don’t know what New Zealand-Germany relations were like before this incident, but I’m sure that they’ve deteriorated significantly since last night. In fact, I’m pretty sure Merkel just closed the German embassy in New Zealand because she was so sickened by watching beloved German icon Dirk Nowitzki get bodied and disrespected by a hulking, tattooed kiwi.
Frankly, I was sickened as well. However, I am sickened for entirely different reasons. I don’t make Steven Adams highlight videos because I want a lumbering post-move exhibition. I make Steven Adams highlight videos because he is often crushing the rim with his whamjams, and if he makes eight field goals it’s likely that four of them are total rim-rocking blammos crammed right on top of outmatched defenders. The lack of dunks in this video is honestly disturbing. It’s so bad that I feel like it should go on one of those weird YouTube clone sites that only show car crashes and other mean, bad things.
Even native New Zealanders won’t be able to defend this video or justify its unholy contents. At best they can only weakly apologize for Adams’ disgusting behavior.
