Adams is known for his quirky behaviour and comedic relationship with the media.
During pre-season he was asked by Oklahoma media if he puts on a performance each time he fronted the camera.
"I'm quite an awkward guy," Adams responded. "It's a weird situation, especially to ask someone how they personally act when they're up on stage. It's a different sort of thing.
"I'm just an awkward guy, let's leave it at that."
Asked if he had any plans to incorporate a three-point shot into his arsenal, the big Kiwi sat almost in disbelief at the question.
"Shoot a three? No, absolutely not," Adams said. "I don't want to lose my job."
Some people believed Adams would have been a worthy companion for George and Westbrook at the All-Star game, but he couldn't crack a tough Western Conference team.
He also would have had no qualms about missing out, telling ESPN last month that he would quite enjoy being able to take a break during the All-Star festivities.
"I do like my All-Star break mate - it's a tough season," Adams said.
"I think a lot of people would like to see me there - it'll be really big for New Zealand in that aspect.
"But if I'm being selfish mate, yeah I'd probably like a wee break."
