The picture up there – the one that makes them look like small babies – proves how long this presidential duo has worked together. If Westbrook were to run this country (read: team), there’s no one more fit for his side than everyone’s favorite New Zealander.

Steven Adams is a player who has quickly become a force in the NBA. The 23-year-old big man joined the Thunder in 2013, where he averaged 3.3 points and 4.1 rebounds. This season, his numbers are vastly different. He’s currently averaging 10.3 points and 8 rebounds. In addition, he’s serving up an average of 1 assist, 2 steals, and 1 block.

One of the most prolific shots this year features a Westbrook/Adams combo. It works time and time again for a reason. And that reason is because these two players mesh well, and they belong together.

Undoubtedly a phenomenal young player, Adams is also a beloved Oklahoma City celebrity for his goofy personality and famous quips. He’s known for saying his home town smells like farts. He’s not afraid of hair growth. And, he has a smile that could melt basically anyone.
