It’s been a while since Steven Adams burst onto the NBA world. The big man missed the entire 2023-24 season due to injury and is ready to return next season. This time with an entirely new franchise, the Houston Rockets. Before that highly anticipated return, however, fans got a glimpse of Adams and a surprise. “Game of Thrones” & ‘Aquaman’ Jason Mamoa was also spotted next to him. It raised an important question: How tall is Adam Stevens?

Before we give you the answer, let’s get a few things out of the way. What’s the story behind the name, Aquaman from the NBA? Well, there is not much to think about. Adams is almost a mirror image of Hollywood star Momoa. Even the big man himself talked about how he was mistaken for Momoa and got into clubs. And finally, Adams earned the title, Aquaman. Well, that’s not the only connection the duo shares.

Steven Adams, the New Zealander from Down Under, often spends his off-season in his hometown. Jason Momoa, a Hawaiian, on the other hand, flew to the Kiwi country from time to time and also expressed his love for the country on several occasions. He once even said in an interview: “Brother, I don’t even have a home right now. I live on the streets. So I’m going to New Zealand to start playing Minecraft. I hope everyone likes it.” In addition, the movie star, who is currently in New Zealand, socialized with Adams and even referred to him as his twin.

In this clip you can see Steven Adams slipping into the frame at the last moment, creating a huge size difference that leaves everyone baffled.

How tall is Steven Adams?

The league has listed him as 6’11 (2.11 m). on the official website. However, there is a growing debate about the accuracy of height measurement. Especially with Kevin Durant, it has always caused confusion. Throughout his career, the league has given him as 6’10 – 6’11. But the Slim Reaper insisted he was 6’1″. That debate got completely out of hand during the Team USA photo shoot, when Durant was almost as tall as Joel Embiid (7’1″).

On the other hand, Jason Momoa, who has a majestic appearance in films, looked very small in front of Adams and the internet did not keep quiet about it. Regarding the height comparison of the 6’4″ movie star, one fan wrote: “Compared to Steven Adams, Jason looks like a baby.”

What is Jason Mamoa doing in New Zealand?

In the video clip, the Hollywood star can be seen at a rugby match, cheering on the Kiwis. The 45-year-old attended the New Zealand national team’s match against Argentina and wore the All Blacks Hoodie. But this is not the only reason for Momoa’s visit Down Under. The big man is currently filming for his new project, The demolition crew. And rumors say WWE star Dave Bautista will appear in the film.

Additionally, Momoa announced to his IG followers that he and his band Oof Tatata would be performing in New Zealand. He said: “Right now I’m in Auckland, Aotearoa with my friends… Oof, Tatata is going to play a show, it’s the start of our Meili tour.” So Momoa could be hanging out on the island with Steven Adams for quite some time.
