Air New Zealand has unveiled its 23rd safety video titled "Every Point Counts," featuring notable Kiwi personalities. The video stars Steven Adams, an international basketball player, alongside comedian Tom Sainsbury as both coach and referee, sports broadcaster Andrew Mulligan providing commentary, TikTok star Theo Shakes as an audience member, and a cameo by Dame Valerie Adams, Steven's sister and Olympic legend.
The storyline revolves around a friendly basketball game between Steven and a group of Kiwi children. Tension builds as the game progresses to its climax on the court.
Steven expressed his enthusiasm for participating in the project with Air New Zealand: "It was awesome to be part of a project that involved young people and the community. It was fun to have Val in the video too. As a younger brother, at first, I was like 'man get out of my video!' but it's cool to do a family collab – it was a special moment."
