From 1938-1940, he played for the Sheboygan Red Skins of the National Basketball League (NBL) under Coach [[Francis Zummach|Frank Zummach]], a former Marquette player and assistant coach.

**Adams on his experience in the NBL:**\\
//"There was a jeweler in Sheboygan that took me under his wing. I drove back from my home in Chicago to pick up an engagement ring from him. ... I would commute from Milwaukee to play basketball. I was working in promotions for A&P Tea Company in Milwaukee. I used to ride back and forth with (center) Eddie Dancker. ... They had a pretty good following. As far as that community, they filled (the 1,500-seat Eagle Auditorium on New York Avenue). It was very intense. Oshkosh was probably the best pro team at that time. ... (Head coach) [[Francis Zummach|Frank Zummach]] was a very fine student of [[William Chandler|Bill Chandler]]'s at Marquette, had the same traits [[William Chandler|Bill Chandler]] had, and they were all excellent."//\\
