Oklahoma City Thunder big man Steven Adams is still searching for his first All-Star selection, but his teammates, Russell Westbrook and Paul George, are relatively used to the process.
But, on Thursday night, while the Thunder announced Westbrook and George as All-Stars, Adams made his presence known, video bombing his two friends in the middle of the announcement:

It's really hard not to like Adams, and one of these years, the NBA needs to get him in the All-Star Game just based on entertainment value alone.
Earlier in the season, the 25-year-old was asked about potentially making it to the event in Charlotte, and Adams said that he simply did not care about those types of accolades.
Adams' numbers will not jump off the page. This season, he is averaging 15.2 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in over 33.8 minutes per game while shooting 61.1 percent from the floor and 55.1 percent from the free-throw line.
However, there is no denying the massive positive impact he has on Oklahoma City, as evidenced by his plus-12 net rating.
The New Zealand native, who played his collegiate basketball at the University of Pittsburgh, was originally selected by the Thunder in the first round (12th pick overall) of the 2013 NBA Draft.
He became a full-time starter for the Thunder during his second season and has always been a steady contributor in OKC's lineup, but it wasn't until last season where Adams really broke out, registering 13.9 points, nine boards, 1.2 steals, and 1.2 blocks across 32.7 minutes a night while shooting a career-high 62.9 percent from the field.
