Steven Adams - My Life, My Fight
For the first time, Steven Adams shares the story behind his meteoric rise from Rotorua to his emerging stardom in the NBA.
Adams overcame the odds to become a top prospect in the 2013 NBA draft. From there he went on to secure a four-year contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder ? making him New Zealand?s highest-paid sportsperson ever ? and forge a reputation for his intense, physical style of basketball.
In this intimate account of his life story so far, the seven-foot centre reflects on his humble upbringing, the impact of his father?s death when he was just 13, the multiple challenges and setbacks he has faced, early career-defining moments, and what basketball means to him.
Told with warmth, humour and humility, My Life, My Fight is a gripping account from one of New Zealand?s most admired sporting stars.
