Just chilling in an empty bro pad. A few games. Several dozens of millions of dollars. Could crush your skull with his fingertips but chooses not to. No worries mate.
Livin the dream. Why is this man so goddamn lovable
And eats dinner from multiple restaurants at a time. Legend
Feel like half the posts in that sub are nicely furnished 6k a month NYC apartments being like “trying my best 🥺 “
This is more like it 👏
Too sparse for this sub 😂
literally me, minus the hundreds of millions of dollars
And the height.
And the girth.
To be honest if you look like him you should be able to make hundreds of millions one way or another
i’m only 6’4 and my locks aren’t nearly as luscious😢
and i don’t have an endearing kiwi accent. and i don’t have cool tattoos. and i don’t have any tough ass basketball skills. and and and-😅🔫
Can you at least dunk?
Just fuck my shit up fam. My best was only grabbing the rim. I can’t fucking dunk my shit is cooked😭😭😭
Pack it up man
I’m 5’11” and can grab the rim. Step it up bro
That’s why i have so much respect for the kings. I just couldn’t do it! and to see people i got inches on being easily able to dunk fucked me up for the longest time. I truly have so much respect for you. That shit is a LONG way up in the air!!!
You’ll just have to settle for being a 6’4” dude. Life is tough.
Only 6’4???
And the hair.
And the girth. Did i mention the girth??
And tonnage
Adams seems like the friend that you keep picking up the lunch tab for because you think he’s living day-to-day, then he casually gives you 6 figures without hesitation when an emergency comes up.
Ah yes we all have THAT friend. Relatable for sure.
This has actually happened to me twice already. Iam for sure gonna pick that tgi fridays tab again next time, Patrick.
Maybe like mid 3 figure loan
“I don’t know how the hell i’m gonna come up with this money.”
“How much did you say you need?
I know what you mean
Hey pickle rick! Do… do you watch him when he’s jorkin it??🥺
He faces Pickle Rick towards the wall when he’s jorkin it.
I literally have 3 guitars and a little amp, a decent gaming setup, I feel exposed.
But shit, Steven Adams, at least I got a bed frame!
I know he has the money for it, but it’s probably a pain in the ass to find a bed + frame that fits his size lol
He says it’s for his back.
Down to the roland cube cabinet and all, geez.
Lol I could sleep anywhere, including on the floor, but I don’t think I can go back from a Tempur Pedic
This man got life figured out.
Yep. Simple. No clutter.
Bro he needs to at least get a fucking bed
Sleeping on the floor can be good for your back if you can tolerate it.
My father who had quite a lot of back problems slept on the floor regularly as it often was the only place he could sleep without pain.
I wish I could do it but I’m a side sleeper and side sleeping on the floor is painful if you have bony hips.
Same. The best I ever slept in my life was when I hiked the pct. Thin blowup mattress, EE quilt. Absolute comfort. Unfortunately I can’t recreate it at home.
Have you tried hiking for 8 hours a day or whatever at home?
😂😂😂 No but I bet that would help.
Probably had more to do with the hiking 20+ miles a day than anything else tbh. I sleep well backpacking too but it wouldn’t be the same at all in a bivy after my desk job
I do a 3 inch pad on concrete. Never slept better in my life.
A year ago I was desparate with my lower back problems and sleeping on my mattress (very high quaility) was causing me so much pain.
I tried sleeping on the floor, and for the next couple days I only slept about 5-6 hours a night on the floor, but waking up I felt like a superman - so rested and fresh.
I feel like it’s gotta be how our body touches the floor in very specific spots when sleeping on the floor. Your shoulder blades, your butt, etc. basically become pressure points where fatigue is kinda channeled to.
There might or might not be a scientific explanation for this but this is simply how I felt and I think it makes sense.
I would happily fully transition to floor sleeping and get rid of our massive bed in favor of Japanese futon setup, if my wife wasn’t so conscious about what other people might think, as it would be considered weird in this part of Europe. Since then, I have fixed my back pain with good lower back exercises so I don’t have the dilemma anymore, but I still fondly remember how fresh I was waking up.
Floor sleeping allows the skeleton to bear the weight of the body, as opposed to the muscles when laying on that nice soft mattress.
They make concrete “beds”, wooden “beds”, and flat elevated surfaces out of all of the same things they make floors out of lmao.
Depends on your back, it’s much better for my back to sleep on a hard surface so I go with a thin Japanese futon. It literally drives people friends and family crazy but my back is much happier. Its not for everyone obviously
Same! I sleep with a thin mattress on the floor. Helps keep my back straight.
I do this on occasion. Its less comfy falling asleep, but I feel better when I wake up.
Looks fine to me. He got a gaming setup in his room, why do you need a bed?
Bro is just a simple guy
I’m a simple guy too. I see Steven Adams, I upvote.
can any1 explain why reddit is so obsessed with steven adams? is it some keanu reaves shit
Pretty much. Dude is as humble and hilarious as his bedroom set up. On the court he’s the absolute team player that always puts the team before personal stats. Try to find a team mate with anything bad to say about him and you’ll struggle.
funny that reddit loves to glaze him since he liked a bunch of Andrew Tate tweets a few years back
here’s a bunch of people realizing that:
https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/16nodsv/steven_adams_eloquently_explains_the_secret_to/k1fkodj/
He’s got three guitars though!
Three cheap guitars and a dirt cheap practice amp. lol
This is beyond humble for somebody with his money. There’s ‘dont need anything super nice’ and there’s this.
He seems pretty happy man lol. Maybe this wouldn’t make you happy but you aint adams.
Also i think a lot of men would do the same, it’s just they can’t because they don’t have the finances or looks to still be able to pull ladies in this type of setup. I’m going out on a limb and thinking adams can still pull.
Simple doesn’t mean you don’t have a bed
Dude is gonna be rich forever. He’s just like you except be a good looking mountain who’s loaded.
Until he leaves basketball and goes deep into an unhealthy addiction with mechanical keyboards.
21st century equivalent of Bleeding Gums Murphy and his Faberge Eggs addiction.
ILL TELL YOU WHEN IVE HAD ENOUGH!
With his strength, all the switches probably feel the same
Unironically though. Some of my big boy friends can’t tell the difference because the switch bottoms out immediately under their hands lmfao
seriously. My friend has 20 of those things
He’s gonna start collecting Satoru Gojo figurines
Not only that, but his family will be too
This has Redman MTV cribs vibes
De La Casa!
Thinking the same. Except I don’t see a shoebox full of cash.
Or a cousin passed out on the floor from partying too hard the night before.
Or a bunch of porn.
That 4 foot stack of porn dvds was legendary
On top of a refrigerator
Chris Pontius cribs where he lived in his truck lol
I was thinking the same the whole time, lol.
That was one of if not the only real episode of that show! Apparently most others were renting homes and staging them for the show.
Healthier than that
This is one of those things that’s adorable when you’re 7ft tall and play professional basketball, but in any other situation you’re the guy who ends up on the other side of a tinder nightmares post lol
Damn, that’s so true
If you’re a millionaire you’re practical and down to earth. Salt of the earth. But if you’re poor? Grow up, brokie
Well, one you know is by his choice. Being poor is likely not the persons ideal situation so it’s not charming.
It’s like the old adage:
If you’re hot— it’s flirting.
If you’re ugly— it’s sexual harassment.
Def the aw your cute versus human resources lol.
I bet most guys would do the same if they could and get away with it like adams. But we absolutely cannot lol. I mean i do but i’ve just given up on dating, you’d have to have a lot in some department or several to pull this off and still date.
A true Kiwi
I don’t know a single Kiwi like this and I know a lot of Kiwis
I’m a kiwi and excluding sleeping on the ground this is pretty similar to my house. Tiny apartment, guitars and shitty amp, and computer.
Yea there is some confusion here, Hobbits sleep underground not on the ground
I’m not a kiwi but from watching Flight of the Conchords, it certainly seems like an accurate representation.
IDK man im in OPs video and I dunno how to feel about it
well he literally talks like my brother with the same mannerisms, you must not live in NZ
I’m a kiwi and this is literally my room.. (+ a bed frame) bahah
Good god man. A sleeping bag. That is a hard man.
He said it’s better for his back and I’m sure he’s right.
My dad’s back has been fucked up for a couple decades and he loves sleeping on the floor
There’s scores of us. I have my blankets on a perfectly hardened, thick wooden plank
Sleep is best on a flat surface, not whatever tf doughy mattresses have going on. Mattresses are okay for fucking but that’s about it
Dude you are not gonna convince me sleeping on a plank of wood is better for you
Well, he said better, not more comfortable.
I don’t even think our ancestors would sleep on something so hard. Most great apes tend to make beds out of softer materials
I’m not sure what your back has been through (I have lower back sciatica) but try getting an extra firm mattress. Kingsdown or Heirloom is the way to go. I slept on the floor until I went with an extra firm mattress and I’ve slept incredibly since.
the floor is right there, a futon is better
Nearly half of Japanese people still sleep on mats to this day, so it’s definitely not odd behavior.
Op was commenting on the sleeping bag not being in the ground though. No reason he can’t have something better than a sleeping bag…
on IG someone asked him if he’s looked into Japanese futons (which is basically what he’s recreating here) and he said he can’t find any in his size
He can’t get one custom made with all the money he has?
This is the exact type of thinking I expect from Adams, he’d be like why spend money when this is working
Bro has no concept of “upgrading” his living space and I love it
Remember when he made fun of some Serbian NBA player for eating with silverware?
That’s a big ass pickle Rick. Thought it was gonna be a little desktop dill.
The size of the pickle needs to match the size of the man
Uh
You’re so nerd.
Get some guitar stands man.
Why would you need guitar stands when you have a perfectly good wall to lay them against?
His guitars prefer to sleep on the floor
He’s got one that he uses for the TOD10N haha
His old house :

If you scroll through the pics you can see the pickle pillow
That’s amazing, nice catch lmao
And a One Piece Steven Adams wanted poster.
Holy shit what a nice place. I wonder why he hasn’t gotten anything in Houston? Real estate is crazy cheap there.
I’m guessing he doesnt want to deal with the hassle of moving in and out for a place he might not be in for more than a couple of years. Accounting for away games and the off-season, hes not really spending that much time there.
Yeah Steven Adams is genuinely incredibly likeable, but it’s like his story of how he had no idea he was going to get drafted and just came to the draft work out for the free t-shirts, that’s almost certainly not true you had people from his hometown come out and say he was fully being prepared for the NBA back at home and everybody absolutely did know he was getting drafted. So his humbleness is real but probably a bit exagerated.
I’m from NZ. He had coverage from high school, his older sister was a two time gold medalist by that stage so there was hype for sure. He’s exceeded expectations in career and character.
It could just be something he told himself along the lines of “okay let me just go for the tshirts, no big deal if I don’t make it”
Zlatan-esque
I’m calling BS on the one-room, sleep on the floor, no possessions thing but he clearly likes to keep it simple. That house looks much more reasonable for someone with his wealth. Nice house, some nice basic furniture, and the same entertainment stuff in this post.
Could be what he’s living in because he didn’t think he’ll be in Houston long term if it’s just him.
I know Teague said he lived in a small ass place when he was in Milwaukee.
Yeah looks a lot like a set up for temporary living area, my friend has similar set up in Denver, where he has to be for work until the end of summer, small studio + separate bathroom, sleeps on a couch he got from facebook market, which is also his gaming chair. All the guys in our friend group are jealous.
But do notice the post says the house was remodeled after he moved out.
Its the same amp he uses for over 13 years on the first pic lol
This is probably his spot for games in Dallas or something
JJK keyboard & mouse pad.
fantastic taste brother.
Also todays episode was amazing.
Is that a full sized keyboard? Looked like he was holding an index card lol. Always shocking seeing huge hands holding normal objects
Nah it’s pretty small, his hand’s still massive though ofc. Look up 60% keyboard.
I highly enjoyed it. Did not expect that. Mouth open the entire time. JJK keeps it going!
And he has the TOD10N Tim Henson signature guitar. Bro is cultured
Draymond > Naoya
Hell yeah!
Get well soon Aquaman!
Bro needs a bigger keyboard wtf
Probably a standard keyboard, just looks small in his giant hands lol
looks like a 60% keyboard
“That is a normal keyboard. Move on, find a new slant.”
No, it’s legitimately one of the smallest keyboard form factors.
Jason Momoa plays bass. They should start a band.
Another NBA player who likes Overwatch lol
Hero shooters are basically basketball tbh. They have positions and roles
What a gem
That guy is awesome. Every time I learn more about him, I love him even more.
My #1 choice of any NBA to hang out with.
That keyboard instantly turned into a little tikes toy when he picked it up
I have that same pickle Rick lol
Only plays Overwatch. Based AF
Dude stays ready for trade deadline
Dude is incredibly lovable.
Jeezuskraist, as if we haven’t already got enough reasons to like the guy.
I dont trust people with no art on their walls
OKC loves him so much, the mural of him on a downtown building has stayed up, even years after he left.
It’s like Bruce Willis’ apartment in “Moonlighting”.
https://youtu.be/r9rJN3EHPpI?si=AZowLaRgEZmH5fZP
Pickle Rick somehow furthered the respect I had for this man.. dude must be trolling me. Haha
Edit: that is one of Rick’s most desperate times and that plushy captures it completely..
He’s living that 22-year-old-just-out-of-college-and-applying-for-internships-but-not-getting-any-callbacks-vibe life.
I’m sure his permanent residence back home in NZ is much nicer. Likely just rents this place in Houston so doesn’t care for more than the bare necessities
A pickle rick plushie? Jeeze
Can’t even be bothered to get stands for his guitars
Impossible not to like this man
He just palmed a keyboard like it was a kids toy.
Why he got a curved monitor like he’s a remote 9-5
Yeah I could not see shit with all the captions and banners
I see Steven Adams…i like
somehow this is what i pictured too
This dude just became my favorite NBA player
r/guysbeingdudes
Just a guy from Rotorua
This is my very good friend over here miek. He’s an insect and he has knives for hands.
My god, at lease get a bed frame and mattress. I get it, you’re hip
We really are simple creatures
Frankly that’s amazing. Hopefully saving his money for his family’s inter generational wealth
Me, as a moderately poor person wouldn’t even CONSIDER practicing with a Roland cube amp 😆
I respect the frugality
I’m living life like I make more than Steven Adams.
Something here seems off… no way a bruiser 6’10 dude with a 10 year career just casually sleeps on a mattress on the floor
Stupid boxes take up almost half the screen
I wonder who his main in overwatch is.
Steven Adams is a real one.
You won’t be reading about him going broke after nba career.
“It still does good stuff” in regard to his guitars and amp made me lol
I’m a Kiwi and I get it. Minimalist is the way. Don’t buy material goods, invest and buy land/property. Why would you load up on processions when you know as soon as you’re done in the NBA you’ll be straight back home.
He’s one player who’s never going broke. Lol.
This the same dude that grew his hair out only because he was tired of spending money on the cuts. Him having a minimalist space is exactly what I expected
And heres my pile of cash!
This is nice, now let’s see his house in New Zealand.
The real question here is where does he buy a sleeping bag that he can fit in?
I love this guy
Bro just grabbed the keyboard
Favorite quote of his ever was when they were in the bubble during Covid and all staying in the Disney property This is not Syria mate
I make pretty good money and used to have a big house and multiple cars. I got divorced and just decided I wanted to live a simple life. Moved overseas and lived out of a suitcase for 5 years. Came back to the states and I’m currently just like Steven. Sleeping bag, air matress, gaming PC, and my guitar gear. What else do you really need? Downsizing my life gave me a freedom I never had before.
Her voice .. oof
