What is Steven Adams' visit to The Agenda about and who’s hosting him?
Well, it's an absolute pleasure to welcome to the Agenda podcast, Stephen Adams. Welcome. Thank you. Thank you.
What a treat. And the question on everyone's lips, Stephen, is what are you doing here?
What am I doing here? Yeah. Well, I am here to talk about the partnership with the Warriors.
Mate, it's epic.
Yeah, it's amazing. No, it's amazing for us, for both parties. It's absolutely ridiculous. It's awesome.
So you've got the Stephen Adams Pathway Foundation. This is your basketball camps that you do around New Zealand. I mean, I think you've… About 10,000 kids have been to the camps so far.
Is that right? Yeah, 2000 plus.
It's all my kids play basketball. I think he's got about a thousand kids. They all play basketball. Yeah, I've got four kids.
What is the Steven Adams Pathways Trust and how many kids have attended the camps?
I've tried to get them to play. I'm not going to lie. They don't have the natural Steven Adams ability baked into them. Yeah, it's sort of inherited from me, just a massive lack of coordination, to be honest.
That's okay. The camps that we run is all about fun, bro. So there's a lot of uncoordinated kids. You don't have to play freaking basketball at all. You just come in, get some free stuff, shoot some hoops, and have a good day.
Oh, man. So the partnership you've got with the Warriors, it all kind of launches on August 7th. Is that right? The Panthers game at Go Hard Stadium. It's a big fundraiser for your foundation. Yeah, huge. So encouraging everyone to go along, even people watching at home, to make a $3 donation. Just what do you text?
Yeah, so you text Stephen or up the wires to 933, and then there's a $3 donation.
Stephen with a V? Yeah, Stephen with a V. Yeah, the appropriate spelling. There's a lot of P-H's slipping through. Nah, no P-H's, mate, no P-H's.
Get those P-H's out of there. Yeah, but just doing any of that, bro, just to support the pathways, yeah, what we've got going on.
Awesome. And how are you? How's injuries? You had surgery recently on your ankle, was it?
Yeah, I had surgery in February. So just been rehabbing since then. So I cut my season short, unfortunately. But yeah, just rehabbing back, bro, and just looking forward to this next season.
What's the best course of rehab? Like a sort of long walk on the beach or something like that?
That's what I've been doing. It's been quite nice, actually. Just recently. Yeah, yeah, just recently.
How is the NZ Warriors partnership supporting the Steven Adams Pathways Trust?
But it's pretty grueling, honestly. Rehab, any athlete will, you know, it just sucks, bro, because you're used to just playing, and then you have to go back to square one, learning how to walk, how to move your toes, all this sort of stuff, bro.
People must walk behind you on the beach and see your footprints on the beach and be like, oh my God.
I do it on purpose, to be honest with you. I do it on purpose. I actually do it to like, sometimes there's like some smaller people on laying down. So I do my footprints to them and then try and tiptoe away. So they follow you like, what the fuck?
Yeah, you'll see like archaeologists studying your footprint and be like, oh, we think we've found them.
It's like a four foot eight.
Yeah, four foot eight.
Hey, Stephen, just ask a question about the NBA stuff.
How can listeners donate $3 to support the Steven Adams Pathways Trust?
Like there's so many great clips of you at the press conferences. Do you purposely troll American journalists? Because it seems like you're just taking the piss out of them and they don't know.
Do you enjoy that? No, I don't take the piss. I answer them. Some of the questions are funny.
Yeah.
You know what I mean? They're pretty funny to me. So then, I don't know. I just have a bit of fun with it because I think it's all lighthearted. Yeah. Just a bit of basketball, mate. You know what I mean? Get as serious as basketball. Calm down.
Give it the level that it requires.
You know, like it's fine, mate. You know what I mean? And don't get me wrong. Like there's a lot of heads and obviously I take it seriously. There's a lot of effort and discipline strategies behind it, but like that's, that's more for us. You know what I mean? The media side of things, it's like, okay, just try and help them in whatever way, have a bit of humor with it.
