We all should try to go through life with the kind of dispassion that Steven Adams excudes. The key is never to let onself get too high or too low. Emotional peaks and valleys constitute a kind of volatility that stands in the way of happiness. Instead, let us achieve the ultimate calm, just as the Thunder center did with seconds to go before halftime Thursday night on the road against the Pelicans.

That's an effortless buzzer-beater right there.

The one-handed delivery. The upright posture. There's just so, so much to love about this. The man wasn't in any special hurry.

We shouldn't be, either. Let us all take a lesson from this man's sage aura.
