It’s been a while since Steven Adams made an appearance in the NBA world. The big man missed the entire 2023-24 season with an injury and is all set to make his return in the upcoming season. This time, with an entirely new franchise, the Houston Rockets. However, before that much-anticipated return, the fans got a glimpse of Adams alongside a surprise. ‘Game of Thrones’ & ‘Aquaman’ fame Jason Mamoa was also spotted alongside him. It left everyone with an important question in everyone’s mind: How tall is Adam Stevens?

Before we give you the answer, let’s clear a few things out of the way. What’s with the name, NBA’s Aquaman? Well, there isn’t much to think about. Adams is almost a mirror image of the Hollywood star, Momoa. Even the big man himself spoke about how he was mistaken for Momoa and used to get into clubs. And, eventually, Adams earned the title, Aquaman. Well, this isn’t the only connection that the duo share.

Steven Adams, the New Zealander from down under, often spends his off-season in his hometown. On the other hand, Jason Momoa, a Hawaiian, flew down to the Kiwi land once in a while and also expressed his love for the country several times. Once in an interview, he even said, “Bro, I don’t even have a home right now. I live on the road. So, I’m down to New Zealand to start Minecraft. I hope everyone loves it.” Moreover, the film star, who is currently in New Zealand, linked up with Adams and even referred to him as his twin.

In this clip, Steven Adams can be seen slipping into the frame at the last moment, giving a massive height difference, leaving everyone to scratch their heads.

What is Steven Adams’ height?

The league has listed him as 6 ’11 (2.11m) on the official website. However, there has been growing debate surrounding the accuracy of the height measurement. Especially with Kevin Durant, it has always created confusion. Throughout his career, the league has listed him as 6 ’10 – 6 ’11. But the Slim Reaper strongly insisted that he was 6 ‘9. Notably, this debate blew out of proportion during the Team USA photoshoot where Durant almost stood as tall as Joel Embiid (7 ‘0).

On the other hand, Jason Momoa, who has a majestic appearance in films, looked very small in front of Adams and the internet didn’t keep quiet about it. Speaking of the 6 ‘4 film star’s height comparison, a fan wrote, “Steven Adams makes Jason look like a baby.” 

What is Jason Mamoa doing in New Zealand?

In the video clip, the Hollywood star can be seen at a rugby game supporting the Kiwis. The 45-year-old attended the Kiwi national side’s match-up against Argentina, donning the All Blacks hoodie. However, this isn’t the only purpose of Momoa’s visit to Down Under. The big man is currently filming for his new project, The Wrecking Crew. And, WWE star Dave Bautista is rumored to be part of the film.

Apart from that, Momoa announced to his IG followers that he and his band, Oof Tatata, would perform in New Zealand. He said, “Right now I am in Auckland, Aotearoa with my friends … Oof Tatata is going to be playing a show, it’s going to kick off our Meili Tour.” So Momoa could hang around with Steven Adams for quite some more time on the island country.
