Steven Adams Said Yes To Someone’s Prom Date Request From Three Years Ago

With the trade deadline landing earlier in February this year, the NBA All-Star break feels, oddly, like an actual break with very little going on in the basketball world in the aftermath of All-Star Weekend itself. However, Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams swooped in to make things interesting on Monday, and the always entertaining big man was anything but timely.

In short, Adams received a prom date request from a fan on Jan. 27, 2015 and, until Monday, Oklahoma City’s big man was silent.

But on Monday night, Adams came through with a one-word response that made the internet rounds with great amusement.

There are a lot of questions to answer, including whether Adams’ fan is actually still in a schooling situation to actually have the NBA player accompany her to such a prom. Beyond that, there is the simple logistics of how Adams was even alerted to the request after all this time and whether he even knew the timestamp of the initial tweet when he put together the (very) quick response.

Hopefully, there will be extensive follow-up on this exchange, even if it does not come until the Thunder have their next media availability at the conclusion of the break. Until then, we wait with bated breath for the next installment in this suddenly intriguing saga.
