Oklahoma Thunder centre Steven Adams has brought Kiwi slang into the homes of millions of Americans with his latest promotional spot.
Rotorua native Adams, a fan-favourite with the Thunder, cranked his New Zealand-ness up to an all-time high in his latest commercial for an Oklahoma bank.
"Kia Ora, I'm StevenAdams," the 7ft star begins in the commercial titled 'speaking Kiwi with Steven Adams and BancFirst'.
"I'm a Kiwi bloke who has a new bach in Oklahoma. Because I'm a bit of a dag, BancFirst has asked me to spin a yarn with you about what makes them so choice. Tu Meke.
"So I'd better get my A into G. It's all about one word that means the same all over the world. Loyal. You'd have to be two sammies short of a picnic to not bust a gut to do all your banking with Bancfirst. Whether you're loaded or on the Dole, they treat you like rellies, they never spit the dummy, and they always put in a hard days yakka.
"So if you're a bright spark, you'll have a geez at them, and if you do, you deserve a chocolate fish. Bancfirst, loyal to Oklahoma, loyal to you. Sweet as."
