So when the Thunder center revealed back in February he was working on an autobiography, basketball fans expected some entertaining stories. The big man definitely delivered.

One of the most interesting anecdotes from “Steven Adams: My Life, My Fight” takes readers back in time to the 2014 Western Conference finals. After the Spurs eliminated the Thunder with a 112-107 win in Game 6, Adams was on a mission to connect with Spurs coach Gregg Popovich before leaving the floor. He didn’t take the opportunity lightly.
Via The Oklahoman’s Erik Horne:
We’re going to need more details here. Did Popovich smell like an expensive wine? Or perhaps the bark of a strong oak tree, standing tall in the middle of a calm forest?
“When I finally got my arms around him… mate, it was beautiful. I just held that legendary man and got a quick sniff of his hair. He smelled lovely. Don’t act like you wouldn’t do exactly the same thing if you had the chance.”
And did Popovich notice the brief sniff near his head? Time for a full investigation. (It’s the offseason. What else are we doing?)
