The Thunder Had A Blast At The Zoo And Steven Adams Discussed Artificially Inseminating Cows

It’s mid- September and training camps are less than a week away, so what is your average NBA player going to do to get their mind right for training camp? If you’re a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder, you go to the Oklahoma Zoo.

Between Steven Adams getting a hug from a sea lion, Jerami Grant holding an canvas for a painting elephant, and Enes Kanter catching a kid with a net one would almost forget that the NBA season is starting less than a month. Kanter looked so relaxed and in his element that you’d almost forgotten that he’d blasted former teammate Kevin Durant for his Twitter antics.

The trip to the zoo is possibly Steven Adams’ favorite thing the Thunder do each year and he mentioned that it reminded him of past memories in his childhood working on a farm, telling reporters about what it’s like to artificially inseminate a cow.

The upcoming season will be a tiny bit harder than a trip to the zoo for the Thunder, even with the blockbuster addition of the Paul George. The proverbial elephant in the room , the Golden State Warriors, loom large and remain the team to beat not only in the Western Conference but the entire NBA.

Adding onto the difficulty is that neither Russell Westbrook nor Paul George have signed an extension with the Thunder beyond the end of this upcoming season. Which only adds more pressure to this team to do as much damage as possible during while both are under contract. But if the Thunder fall flat early, the only rumbling that the team will be hearing will be of the trade variety about the status of Westbrook and George.
