The Memphis Grizzlies have been running hot in the NBA ever since the injury to their MVP, Ja Morant. Despite losing out on their premiere player, they have proved to be a team worthy of competing at every stage. Tonight, they fended off the Golden State Warriors to get their 53rd win of the season.
While fans have been going crazy for high-flying JA for the most part, this time it was the Aquaman who found his twin. Steven Adams was left happy after he saw a similar-looking fan in the arena.
Despite his huge body frame, Adams is one of the nicest guys in the league. He has often given proof by helping out fellow players. However, with his basketball, he is also the strongest player in the league. Adams had given players nightmares with his screens and left them on the floor. But this time around, a fan had a surprise for Adams.
