Steven Adams is known around the league for being one of the nicest players in the NBA. Adams is ferocious on the court, gobbling up rebounds and setting some of the best screens in the league, but off of it, he’s always been a warm and genial character. His interactions with fans are always fun to see, and another clip of him talking to a young fan who asked for his autograph has recently gone viral. 

NBA players are heroes for their younger fans. Many love them and look up to them. As such, they’re constantly looking to interact with those players whenever they can. While there are events outside of the court where fans can meet their favorites, most of these interactions happen before and after games at the stadium. And when one youngster asked Steven Adams for his autograph, he got a nice lesson in manners from the big man. 

Fan: “Steven, will you sign my hat?”

Steven Adams: “No.”

Fan: “What?”

Steven Adams: “Well, what do you say?”

Fan: “Please?”

Steven Adams: “Love it. Here you go, mate.”

The interaction normally would have ended after the fan asked and Admas gave him his signature. But the fact that he took the time to reinforce some manners for the kid is what makes it so special. The video went viral on social media, and fans loved what Adams did.
