Steven Adams has a reputation as an NBA instigator. He'll fire you up, goad you into taking an unnecessary foul, and then stand there unfazed while watching you self-destruct.
His ability to anger fellow NBA players reached a new level on Friday, though, as even happy-go-lucky Swaggy P himself, Nick Young, wasn't immune to the Adams effect.
Young was assessed a Flagrant Foul 2 and ejected for his cheap shot. Adams, as usual, somehow took the retaliation without any signs of pain or emotion.
Nick Young on ejection and Flagrant, called Adams: "Sneaky dirty player" also said "not my first rodeo with him."
