[Highlight] Karl-Anthony Towns shares heartwarming moment on Inside the NBA post-game: “I felt like a kid. It was just fun out here.”
For context for people who don’t know who “she” is.. he’s talking about his mom who died of Covid in 2020. She was a huge Knicks fan.
He lost her and seven other relatives to Covid
He’s an insanely strong person for being as genuine and kind as he comes across with all the tragedy he’s gone through.
It makes me stupidly happy to see him receiving so many nice words here
Hope you know Knicks fans really love him!
KAT deserves nothing but amazing words🙏
Way tougher than Jimmy, just took a while for the fans (me included) to realize it
With jimmy it’s become increasingly clear that if there’s problems with every team you’re on, then maybe you’re the problem.
And people still to this day say it’s made up and freaked the fuck out over being asked to wear masks. I had an uncle in NYC when it was going down, and the nonstop sirens and refrigerated trucks full of corpses really should’ve clued everyone in.
Fucking dumbasses
RIP Jackie
How does it feel your team traded him away when you were so close to the nba finals that year? Y’all had a squad that was scary. I need to know what twolves fans are thinking
How do you think it feels bro what is this bait ass question😭
It’s not a bait, I swear. I was shocked and thought if anybody should be traded was Rudy. I want to know how a twolves fans think and if they still think they can reach the nba finals with their current squad. Now I don’t know who the twolves should trade to get back to that level of a team again
his contract didn’t work with the apron. all wolves fans understand this and still cheer for kat. he gets a ton of hate off the court even though he is genuinely a good person and does alot for the community.
go kat!
Man if kat gets this ring atleast half of the wolves fans wont give a shit since he won it
He definitely deserves it after all the shit he’s been through and getting one before Jimmy Butler would be sweet.
No clue why ur getting downvoted but its gonna be fun as fuck to troll the jimmy “fans” if he has any left after burning all the bridges
I don’t think there’s any butler fans left. lol
Mannnn what a ridiculous thing to say to a comment that says “Rip Jackie”
I really feel like it’s a situation where Gobert works better with the Wolves, but KAT is obviously an incredible fit on this team
Winning with the power of friendship and childhood dreams
13-2 in the playoffs is insane.
7 road playoff wins in a row all by double digits.
Just how good are the Atlanta Hawks?
People trash the Hawks, but they finished the season in an 18-2 run. They weren’t as bad as people wanted them to be. Once they got rid of Trae they actually played solid ball as shown by their record.
eh, i think the bigger impact this season was moving porzingus and getting jock landale. Trae barely played this season
CJ McCollum gave us more game than All-Stars Maxey and Don
12-0 in their last 12 games with 11 of those wins by double digits is even more insane
And those two loses were by one point.
Remember… lost 2 games against hawks by one possession as well. Complete domination
These old fucks have spent how many years stoking the flames of the narratives around KAT, happy he is making them watch as he plays the best ball of his career
The amount of shit inside the nba said about KAT and Rudy in our 24 run makes me lose all respect towards them. Especially when they invited Draymond and they just talk crap abt them being soft all series
I wish nothing but the worst for Draymond, disrespectful, lucky piece of shit
imagine his career without Steph and Klay, clown ass would have a 2nd all-defense team and no playoff wins
he would be a patrick beverley with more suspensions
Ehhh he would not have made the HoF but hed be a major trade piece at worst or local legend any way.
The biggest anomaly was falling to the 2nd round, not him having a great career. Hes an absolute asshole but the man can ball
That’s not true and you know it, he is one of the best defenders of his generation. He’s a prick but a great defender
it’s especially cringe when Shaq takes credit for guys playing well because he shit talked them on tv
Didn’t the wolves players refuse to give a TNT interview because of Draymond?
This is the same group that ripped him for missing a game for a funeral too. Hes taken so much crap from them but still takes their interview request, hes a bigger man than all of them
KAT is such a great dude
Hope he wins one for his mom
Great dude. Eloquent speaker. Wise man. All around fantastic everything.
He really is. I’m rooting for him for obvious reasons.
Also, fuck Jimmy Butler.
I really feared for the worst for him a little bit going to New York. Knowing if it didn’t go well, people were really gonna come down on him a lot harder there than they would here. He’s a great soft hearted guy that I have to imagine being a Jersey kid and representing all the Dominicans in the tri-state has to be really special for him. One of the easiest guys to cheer for in sports in my lifetime.
He’s the best dude. Now go get that ring.
This will be my favorite moment of this Finals.
I teared up watching live. Nobody deserves this like KAT. Dude has been through hell and back and still been a genuine and beautiful soul all the way through
I know it’s not right after the final whistle, but it’s close enough that his ability to take the time to be so thoughtful is just marvelous. It’s only a game, a vehicle with which to make memories and later hold them.
Had a similar moment earlier this year when his dad had a medical emergency. Barely had gotten any sleep and you could tell he was jittery to get out of there but still very composed.
Well said, sir.
the amount of crow i have to eat when it comes to this guy is unbelievable. ive always liked him as a person, and i knew he had talent. but he has completely evolved in how he plays individually and with this team. he’s fucking incredible.
Mike Brown is actually a basketball genius.
Or at least hes great at getting guys to really buy in.
I mean he was one of a major reasons why the warriors won in 2022. He was like a 2nd coach with Kerr. Glad he’s doing it on his own after learning from the warriors and bringing it to the Knicks.
I still miss him…
I think his versatility has always been so underrated. He can be a facilitator or play ISO. He can make tough shots in the paint but is also a super efficient 3pt shooter most seasons.
He’s the same player on Knicks as Wolves, just less of a role. He never developed a midrange game, which is needed for playoff basketball. All that is saying is he won’t be option 1A on a championship team
he has completely evolved in how he plays individually and with this team.
Absolutely. KAT has made huge strides in where he chooses to attack now and how he plays within the team. He was good before, but now he is great. Love to see it. Good luck Knicks.
That was a great interview. Best player in tonight’s game and just a good dude.
KAT, you deserve it.
I love KAT, there is no one more deserving of so much success in the NBA. Such a genuine guy, I’m really hoping we can get him his ring that’s been a long time in the making
knicks in 4
Fuckin get it big man
Genuinely love bodega KAT. Buddy has some head scratching moments sometimes but it’s all in the game
His mom definitely looking over him. We love the Big Bodega shutting up all the haters.
Get it KAT
Feels great not being a CHET
Me after my ego death
KAT Daddy 🧡💙
I’m happy he’s happy.
Bodega KAT authentic to the media
Good guy KAT, hope he gets it done for her.
Man. Did this dude just become my favorite player? I want a jersey
Playoff KAT is amazing. Minnesota is 😭
my guy KAT! proud of him.
Descanza en paz mama KAT. Hope we win one for you.
Who the hell labeled Towns a softie?
This needs more eyes on it, crazy moment to be in and deeply vulnerable account for him to give
Who’s cutting onions in my living room
He almost had me tearing up, KAT is such a great guy to get to root for.
Big Bodega is open
Kat needs this ring man
Big Purr is flowing. He’s at peace.
Wemby is absolutely fucked.
How can you hate this dude..
KAT absolutely killed it for us tonight. Kept us in the game and showed that grit.
KAT deserves this more than anyone. Such a high character man and I’m happy for the success in his career
KAT is a magnificent human being.
Great answer, go get it king
I can’t love you any more KAT, I got nothing left
ok this series might be over
Grace.
As corny as he can be sometimes, I’ve always believed KAT has had the potential to win at the highest level. Happy for dude, and I hope Jimmy is watching this with envy
So glad to have KAT on this team.
kat been thru so much. he deserves a ring !!
Rooting for you KAT!
Let’s go big KAT
That jersey still hurts but win one Knicks
Get yours, KAT!
it’s one game fam
I love to see Kat doing his thing.
The woman above?
