During Game 4 between the Jazz and soon-to-be-fishing Thunder, Jae Crowder inadvertently hit the NBA's Aquaman in the face with an elbow. Most players and mere mortals would have dropped to the ground, grabbed their face in pain or struck back. Adams blinked his eyes.

Hitting the 7'0" "Brick Wall from New Zealand" in the face with an elbow is the equivalent of hitting a normal person in the face with a Tempur-Soft pillow. Nick Young knows this and so does Vince Carter.

I thought it would be fun to celebrate the strength of Adams by showing clips of a bunch of players getting flattened by his screens, trying to phase him with their elbows and talking about how strong he is. But first, here's teammate Josh Huestis on the Locked On Thunder podcast telling Fred Katz a hilarious story about Adams getting into a lunch room fight in high school.

"He punched the guy in the face and just waited and stared at the guy waiting for him to punch back. He thought in a fight, I punch you, you punch me and we just go punch for punch, back and forth."

As great as that story is, I was really hoping to hear him say Steven and one of his 17 siblings beat up every kid in the lunch room like Chris and Meg did in this Family Guy re-enactment of the famous church shootout from Kingsman.

Anyways, this isn't going to help an opponent win a fight with Adams but he does have a weakness: migraines is his kryptonite.

STEVEN'S SCREENS

STEVEN'S STRENGTH

"I lost my mind a little bit, checked into the crazy house, got back out," said Nick Young about his 4th quarter altercation with Steven Adams.

The two players got tangled up then Young threw an elbow at the throat of Steven Adams which resulted in a flagrant foul 2 and ejection.

"It's not my first rodeo with him," said Young. "Just little hits here and there, when they're coming off screens, he'll stick his knee out and stuff like that. I'm not here to tell on him or anything like that. He's doing his job. He did his job today to get me out of the game. That's what they put him in the game to do."

Said Adams, "I just set a screen. They called it an illegal screen, which I didn't think it was. But you know, he just got heated because it was going back and forth and he just got frustrated; that's all that happened."

This type of stuff seems to happen a lot with Adams who Nick calls a "sneaker, dirty player." Last season, 5 different players (Nate Robinson, Vince Carter, Jordan Hamilton, Larry Sanders and Zach Randolph) were ejected or suspended after altercations with Adams.

"Adams, that how he is," Scott said. "He's going to grab and hold and do things to irritate you, and Nick definitely overreacted. He's too valuable for us to overreact and get kicked out of the game like that."
