Hundreds of Rotorua basketball players and fans are hoping basketball star Steven Adams will return to his hometown of Rotorua for the upcoming Tall Blacks vs. Hong Kong game in June.

The nearly 1900 playing members (just over 1700 of which are our youth basketballers) strong local club are hoping to entice Adams home on his off season from the Oklahoma City Thunder club by running a #comehomesteven social media campaign through their Facebook page.

The Rotorua Basketball Association in conjunction with the schools are planning a series of different video’s that will include its members of all ages shouting “Come home Steve” and are hoping they will go viral and make their way to Steven Adams attention.

The public can get involved by sharing photos of their own basketball skills by tagging Rotorua Basketball Facebook page and include the #comehomesteven hashtag onto their posts.

Rotorua Basketball Association Development Co-ordinator, Sue Pene, believes having these high-level games playing in Rotorua is inspiring for young players, with a number of them wishing to aspire to what Steve has achieved.

“It would be a great opportunity to watch their basketball idols in action and to have Steve there would mean the world to them”, says Mrs Pene.
The International Basketball Federation (FIBA) games Tall Blacks vs. Hong Kong game will take place at Rotorua Energy Events Centre on Thursday 28 June 2018.

Tickets are on sale at www.ticketmaster.co.nz
Steven Adams has not yet confirmed whether he will be in New Zealand when the game takes place.

  2. learn more about Paint by Numbers learn more about Paint by Numbers Stickwar Legacy is an action game with a bit of a humorous minor game feature that plays fairly differently from most other games and also appears to be a fanciful and entertaining game to play with the fun thing all throughout the game in general. The game is also a free-to-play Android game that falls under the category of Strategy. The game is also a place where you may learn the ways of the Sword, Spear, Archer, and Mage, but only if you can liberate the Inamorta item from the game, as that would help you become used to it and the rest of it.
