Steven Adams Goes Oklahoma!

Rising Kiwi basketball star, Steven Adams has been drafted to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round.

The Pittsburgh alma mater and half-brother of Olympic double gold medallist, Valerie Adams was the 12th pick in this year's NBA draft.

Besides the high salary he will get for being such an early draft pick, Adams will get the chance to learn his craft alongside Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.

And if he's lucky he might even become only the 2nd Kiwi to win an NBA title - Sean Marks did it for the Spurs. 

Good pick and great stuff!
