Steven Adams released an autobiography.
On July 30, 2018, Steven Adams released an autobiography in his home country of New Zealand. Co-written by childhood friend Madeleine Chapman, “My Life, My Fight” is the never-before-told story of Adams’ life prior to joining the NBA.
According to the publisher:
"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."
When asked about the book in an interview earlier this year, Adams said:
"“It’s about myself. … I didn’t actually want to, but someone told me it should be a good idea and they’ll be interested. So I was like, okay, whatever.”"
If you’re wondering whether or not he did all the writing, rest assured:
"“I didn’t write it…I can barely read, mate.”"
