NBA basketball player Steven Adams took a selfie with Warriors player Dallin Watene-Zelezniak after their victory against the Sea Eagles in Auckland.
Warriors stars Shaun Johnson and Dallin Watene-Zelezniak turned fans into themselves for a special guest following their NRL win over the Manly Sea Eagles in Auckland.
After Watene-Zelezniak lit up the renovated Daniel Anderson Stadium with three tries in the Warriors’ 29-22 victory last Friday night, NBA basketballer Steven Adams added star power in the post-match.
Adams took a selfie with Watene-Zelezniak and Johnson, then joined them all in the dressing room for their team song.
Video posted on social media showed the Warriors belting out the song with Adams sitting back enjoying the moment.
The Memphis Grizzlies center is recovering from a knee injury that kept him out of the Tall Blacks squad for the World Cup that starts this Friday.

Adams has yet to play for the Tall Blacks but coach Pero Cameron said in June that they had positive talks before it became clear that the injury would sideline him. The NBA regular season begins on October 24.
The Warriors, meanwhile, sit third on the NRL ladder after their 15th win of the season, and return to Auckland on Friday night against the Dragons.
