The heck with you peasants and your petty shoe endorsement deals. Steven Adams scoffs in your general direction.
The Thunder center announced on Friday (per Tim Bontemps of the Washington Post) a partnership with grooming products company Handmade La Conner to develop a special limited edition mustache wax aptly dubbed “Steven Adams’ Gentlemen’s Mustache Styling Wax.”

With the Thunder set to begin the postseason against the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night, the product is a clever play on the “playoff beard” tradition seen across many professional sports. For Adams, who of course rocks the most majestic mustache on this side of the Mississippi, the wax is sure to keep his facial hair masterpiece in pristine condition throughout the heated battles of the postseason and encourage OKC fans to sprout their own upper lip vegetation in solidarity with him.
I, for one, am excited to find out what the “signature scent” of Adams’ mustache wax will be. Could it be a hint of kiwi reminiscent of the plains of New Zealand? Or perhaps the blood of Adams’ opponents after he clips them with a dirty screen? Only time will tell.
