Thunder Center Steven Adams remained fit by “boxing the cows” on the New Zealand farm during the NBA arrest

Steven Adams pointed the webcam to his left arm. He wanted to show the tan of the farmer he was working on in New Zealand.

“Just down here,” said Adams, lifting the sleeve of his shirt. “It was pretty damn bright. But cows are fine, man. “

The Thunder center returned to its hometown in March, shortly after the season ended. His first instinct was to be close to family and friends as the coronavirus pandemic spread.

“This is with any international player,” said Adams. “They will feel the same way. They just want to be close to loved ones. In case something happens, you want to be there. “

Adams recently returned to Oklahoma City before the NBA season restarted, arriving in a very different place than the one he left behind 7,500 miles.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was lauded for his pandemic management. There were 1,180 COVID-19 cases and 22 deaths in the country of 4.9 million, according to the New Zealand Ministry of Health.

Oklahoma, with a population of 3.9 million, had 14,539 cases and 395 deaths.

“Obviously I’m getting a little more cautious now,” said Adams, “but you should still be cautious anyway … They are just simple things, like shaking hands too. I don’t know how you feel, but getting into a handshake with someone it’s very, very inaccurate. “
