Ja Morant Heaps Praise on Incredible Steve Adams

Point guard Ja Morant has heaped praise Steve Adams and called for more attention from NBA fans to the Memphis Grizzlies’ starting center.

Adams is a rarity, certainly, in a league increasingly adept at agile and versatile play. He is more than just a center, the type of “burly” and heavy player that is on the verge of extinction in basketball. His presence on the court, however, is always felt.

“Steven likes fighting in the trenches and, above all, the more physical game. So I don’t think there’s a player in this league that wants to go into the paint and fight for space with this guy.” Morant said.

“He is a man among boys. I feel like a lot of things he does go unnoticed, so it’s time for the general public to pay attention.”

It’s not just Morant who knew how to recognise Adams’ impact in both Sunday’s win and the current NBA.

Incidentally, praise for the New Zealand player came from all sides. Kings head coach Mike Brown admitted his team’s loss took its toll on the 29-year-old.

The veteran believes that stopping the pivot on the court is, in principle, a collective effort that requires a scheme.

“Steven is a tough matchup because he’s a big man that few in this league can block. I don’t think there is anyone.” Brown said.

“You need to have a player in front of him and one behind him, then, to limit his mobility and keep him away from the basket.”

“I think that we didn’t always have these two athletes well positioned on the court and, therefore, Steven dominated the board.”Brown added.

Moreover to physical play, another hallmark of Adams is extreme sincerity. And, therefore, he had no problem talking about how the Kings key “facilitates” his role.

“Sacramento has no rim protection. They suffer from it. Our goal, then, was to attack the paint at all times. Being aggressive was the goal today. That’s what we do, after all: we score inside,” Adam said.
