Steven Adams’ mountain reputation is well known throughout the NBA, but Chicago Bulls bigwig Tony Bradley had to find the hard way tonight.

In the fourth quarter of the Grizzlies’ 119-106 win over the Bulls, Bradley and Grizzlies’ point guard Ja Morant got tangled up after Morant drove to the basket, with a slight altercation afterward.
Before things could really work out, Adams rushed to his franchise star’s defense, posing as his best security guard as he escorted Bradley away, literally carrying him. like a toddler.
Remember Bradley is the 6 foot 10, 245 pound NBA center.
Jaren Jackson Jr. said he knows very well what it feels like to be embraced by Adams, “You feel like you’re seven. You feel a little helpless.”
Morant and Bradley have both been technical fouled for their roles in the mayhem, while Adams has been buzzing on social media, marveling at the prowess of a player who would not be unlike the Grit and the Grind Grizzlies.

“Steven Adams literally lifted him up…and brought him out of Ja Morant,” Stan Van Gundy said on the broadcast.
“There is no stronger man than Steven Adams in the NBA,” added Brian Anderson. “He literally lifts his feet off the ground to help him move.”
Steven Adams is Memphis AF. This will last in video editing for many years.
