During the next couple of weeks while Golden State goes about winning its repeat championship, I’d like to put some of the exit interviews on here from various Thunder players other than Durant and Westbrook. Not the two superstars, but the role players. Because if you don’t have effective, unselfish, mentally tough role players you don’t have a championship caliber team.
Let’s start with Steven Adams who has quickly become the third most popular Thunder player in Oklahoma City. If for no other reason, Durant should return for at least one more season just to see where the ceiling might be with Adams’ game.
Tough, physical, smart, runs the floor like a deer, excellent on the pick and roll with Westbrook, improving every month in other nuance aspects of his offensive game. This would be the Steven Adams we saw emerge in these playoffs–and the best interview on the team.
Exactly 3 years ago today. And check out mittens’ prophetic comment. Really glad he landed here.

Bafetimbi Gomis had also been declared fit to lead the Swansea forward line after collapsing on the field at Tottenham on 4 March, the result of a vasovagal condition which can lead to low blood pressure but one which apparently has no lasting effects. Liverpool’s need for the three points was greater than a Swansea side who had already reached the 40 point mark expected to guarantee another season of Premier League football, but it was the hosts who enjoyed the greater possession and scoring opportunities in an enthralling first half.
