Quiet off the basketball court, Maxi Adams unleashes fury on court

Posted Oct 13, 2026
Maximo Adams likes to start game days in a quiet place. With headphones on, calming music and a little meditation, the North Carolina freshman tries to clear his mind before stepping into the noisy arena. "Before the game, very calm," Adams said. "You gotta lock in. You gotta be very focused." That calmness doesn’t last long once he gets on the court. (Tar Heel Tribune)
