The NBA has a lot of dudes who seem like they are best friends with one another. The best example of this comes in Oklahoma City, where Enes Kanter and Steven Adams are perpetually acting like they’re having the best dang time being pals. We saw a hint of this during the NBA season, when Adams joked around about turning Kanter into a fan of New Zealand’s rugby team.

But this offseason, the bromance between the Super Stache Bros has really taken off on social media. Both dudes have done some lighthearted chop busting of the other, Adams by making fun of Kanter’s goofy facial expression after he was picked in the 2011 NBA Draft…
Hahaha what is that facial expression? 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/J5QukRlrqP

…and Kanter by noting that Adams has proceeded to get hairier and hairier as his NBA career has gone on.
Hahaha 😂😂

Kanter has especially had fun with his end of the relationship, as he’s tweeted out a few hand-drawn pictures of him and Adams: one that features the pair playing Pokémon Go, another that has the two dudes examining their mustaches.

The guys have also had some fun on their own. Adams went to the zoo at one point and became tight with a seal, while Kanter spent some of his free time owning all of Twitter.
Always a pleasure @okczoo

This is going to be a weird year for the Thunder. Kevin Durant left for Golden State. And while Russell Westbrook is still there, plenty of people have questions about whether OKC is still among the best teams in the Western Conference. Fortunately, Thunder fans won’t have to worry about team chemistry, because Adams and Kanter are going to keep things lighthearted in the locker room all year.
