Russell Westbrook and Steven Adams are always two of the more interesting interviews in the NBA for entirely different reasons: Westbrook for his terse, sometimes dismissive demeanor, and Adams for his generally jovial spirit that easily makes him one of the funniest guys in the league.
Following the Oklahoma City Thunder's win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday afternoon, both guys had a hilarious exchange while Adams was conducting an interview:

Russell Westbrook was pushing Steven Adams to answer who he was picking in Saturday night's boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Adrien Broner, not knowing Adams was in the middle of talking to reporters.
The best part was that Adams kept pausing to answer Westbrook and actually looked legitimately annoyed that he was being pestered. The whole back-and-forth was capped by Westbrook apologized when he realized he was interrupting Adams.
The Thunder came away with a thrilling victory over the 76ers earlier that day, with Paul George converting a four-point play with 5.1 seconds remaining to lift Oklahoma City to a 117-115 win.
Westbrook finished with 21 points, 10 rebounds and six assists, going 8-of-21 from the floor and making just one of his six 3-point attempts. Adams, meanwhile, posted 16 points, nine boards, three assists and a couple of blocks, shooting 8-of-13 from the field.
The Thunder improved to 27-18 with the victory, perhaps putting an end to their previous skid in which they had lost five of their last six games, including a 16-point loss to the Atlanta Hawks and an overtime defeat to the LeBron James-less Los Angeles Lakers.
