Steven Adams saving Mason Plumlee from a hard fall
The big man from Oklahoma City Thunder ‘Steven Adams’ save life to the opponent as an enemy.
Adams showed compassion and sportsmanship during Friday’s exhibition against the Denver Nuggets. With a little over eight minutes to go in the game, Adams caught a pass while he was wide open near the basket, well Adams was about to cash in on some easy points, Mason Plumlee jumped to defend the shot.
Problem was, Plumlee jumped too early. His leg hit Adams shoulder, and Plumlee went tumbling toward the floor.
That’s when Adams did an unusual thing. Instead of trying to score, he turned to try and break Plumlee’s fall.

It’s tough to know how much Adams’ efforts helped, but it’s the thought that counts. Plumlee didn’t hit the floor all that hard, and wound up being OK. Adams even helped Plumlee get off the court.
Adams couldn’t cash in on his good karma during the contest, as the Thunder lost the game 109-98. Though his team lost, Adams can take solace in the fact that he tried to do a good thing.
