Basketball big man Steven Adams is one of New Zealand's few genuine global sporting stars and he's creating more headlines in the United States - as he's set to be part of an NBA trade deal that will see him move clubs.
After seven seasons at the Oklahoma City Thunder, the rugged centre is on the verge of signing with the New Orleans Pelicans.
After clocking up nearly 600 games for Oklahoma, the straight-talking Kiwi had became a cult figure in the Thunder team, as well as generating a following in New Zealand - particularly among a wave of young basketball fans.
Kenny McFadden, the man credited with identifying Steven Adams' talent at a young age and acting as a mentor for him since, speaks to Corin Dann.
