Things got heated late in the matchup between the Chicago Bulls and Memphis Grizzlies on Monday. After some contact in the paint between Ja Morant and Tony Bradley, the two parties had to be separated. Well, Steven Adams was the one who handled the separation, as he lifted Bradley off his feet and carried him away from the situation. In the video, shared via Rob Perez, Adams can be seen deescalating the situation by simply removing Bradley from it — literally.

Tony Bradley measures in at 6-foot-10 and 247 pounds, so it's quite remarkable that Adams was even able to move him, let alone lift him off the ground while Bradley's hand was still gripping Morant's jersey. If there was any question over who the strongest player in the NBA is, simply refer to this clip for your answer. Steven Adams is absolutely not someone you want to mess with, and he showed why on Monday.
The incident occurred midway through the fourth quarter, with the Grizzlies holding a sizable lead over the injury-riddled Bulls. Whether the antics were a result of Bradley's frustrations boiling over, or just two basketball players getting physical inside the paint, is unclear. What is clear, however, is that Adams probably bench presses minivans in his spare time, and has presented his case as the most jacked individual in the league.
Bradley may just think twice about stirring the pot next time the Bulls face the Grizzlies, as he just got a lesson in why you don't go after Morant, courtesy of the Australian center.
