Steven Adams has funny response to his favorite part of All-Star break

While his teammates were in Chicago for the All-Star game or spending time with their families, Steven Adams enjoyed “training his dog”.

One thing is for certain. When interviewing Steven Adams, you’re never quite sure what you’re going to get.

Like the time where he used profanity to describe his fear of being at the free-throw line in a clutch situation.

Or when he said the next time he’s going to wear a custom suit will be “at his funeral”.

Adams’ blunt style combined with sarcastic wit and his colloquial “mate” makes him one of the more entertaining interviews on the team.

Oklahoma City’s media session at practice on Thursday was no exception.

Thunder reporter Nick Gallo asked Adams what his favorite part of being off for the All-Star break was. Without missing a beat, Adams replied, “I think training my dog, mate”.

Who doesn’t love some quality time with their dog?

The week off also likely helped Adams get fully healthy for the final push of the regular season after dealing with knee and ankle injuries towards the end of January.

In his last 10 games prior to the All-Star break, Adams was averaging just 8.0 points per game 7.4 rebounds, down from his season averages of 10.7 points and 9.3 rebounds per contest.

Oklahoma City will hope to have him back to form on Friday night when they host the Nuggets. In their only game against Denver this season, Adams went for a double-double, scoring 18 points and grabbing 14 rebounds in a 110-102 loss on Dec. 14.

Adams was also seen at practice on Thursday working on his half-court heaves.

He hit the first 3-pointer of his career on Feb. 13 against the New Orleans Pelicans on a three-quarter court heave to beat the halftime buzzer.
