Just after playing the Rising Stars game, Adam Adkins received a weird text.
"Not sure what they were congratulating me about",
Adkins was quoted telling the Media after the game. We here in the news group took the liberty to do some digging.
"At first, we all thought it was a few late texts about Rookie Of The Year, so we all brushed it off" Adkins told us. After being the first "Watched" to win the Rookie Of The Year, and to join the Rising Stars, it turns out that Adkins was also up for one more gig. As he worked his way back to the hotel, he saw a note. As it turns out, Adkins was invited to the All Star Game.
"I found out, I nearly jumped through the roof", Adkins was telling us.
"To play beside Griffin, Love and Westbrook, can't wait!".
We asked him a few questions.
Interviewer 1: So, when you heard the news.. first person you called?
Adkins: The Gardston Bros. Haha. Had to boast!
Interviewer 2: Whats more exciting, Rookie of the year, or being the first of "The Watched" to join the All-Star Game!?
Adkins: Honestly, I'd have to say this news. I mean, rookie of the year is amazing. Means I'm the best rookie out there. But all star game.. come on. I'm playing beside the big guns. Griffin, Love, Westbrook, Gasol... unbelievable.
Interviewer 3: Any thing you want to tell your fans?
Adkins: Always believe in yourself. I did, and I've come so far. Follow the dreams!
