Wacka,wacka, wacka!!!
lmao
North. Name was Kim Jung something. Rumor has it that he made 76500 consecutive free throws.
So glad the writers strike is over. Judging from this interview the new season of NBA is gonna be lit!
People get offended from this too now lol

no way these players don’t flub these on purpose
Fun fact: people in South Korea just call the country “Korea”. So to them it’s just Korea and North Korea. Kind of like Virginia and West Virginia.
Edit: evidently in South Korea they consider both countries to just be Korea, and the North Korean government to be a renegade government.
He’s not a cartographer for Chris sake
That makes Steven Adams less likable that’s just me tho
Is this actually a dumb question? Basketball is Kim Jong Un’s favourite sport and basketball is actually played in North Korea so it wouldn’t be completely crazy if it was a North Korean player
Thats actually mad funny tbh
What is wrong with reporters
Just say south
What’s so awkward about that
Idk what’s funnier.
How silly of a question that is.
Or the idea that Steven Adams wouldn’t consider doing this if he was North Korean, but would if he was South Korean
Adams just learned last week that there are *two* Koreas and decided this was the best time to show off
Honestly I would probably say the same thing to troll.
Rumour has it that North and South Island of NZ are
Hahaha, love Steve-o. Hope he is healthy and walling defenders this season.
This is hilarious hahahaha
man I love this guy 🙂
Not sure what’s funny about this question. NK women basketball team played against China today on the ongoing Asian game. And they were doing just fine ngl. Not to say they were amazingly good, but they are certainly a match to their southern countrymen.
Fair question, lots of disinformation coming out of North Korea. Adams got to make sure what he’s hearing is legit.
Why awkward?
It’s a legit question.
I’m sure Adams was joking, which is hilarious, but I’m Korean myself and I would get this question asked frequently. A person I meet would ask what ethnicity I am, and when I say Korean, they ask, “Oh! NORTH OR SOUTH??” My brother in Christ, I wouldn’t be here if I was North Korean. Those guys are like trapped in a whole different time period.
Then when I tell em South, they tell me their sister loves BTS or that they love eating Korean BBQ.
