[SNY] Karl-Anthony Towns and Jose Alvarado both say they were either emotional or about to be at the end of the game. KAT: “I just wanted one break in life, just one thing to go my way one time. I’m glad it did for us. God is good, man.”
Spurs nuns in shambles rn
God switching teams mid playoffs is crazy bandwagon behavior
Pope Leo is a Villanova alum. There was no switching involved
Leo pulled rank on the sisters š
And the lord said Knicks in 5
Wemby had the monks
We had Wutang tho
The Asian delegation in shambles rn
Lin, Mamdani & WuTang united means that the asian delegation is happy
Yes, we are happy thank you
God just needed to take down the forces of Shaitanyahu, bro was never a Spurs fan and just got exposed
Shaitan is a better nickname tbh lol
I’m partial to Shaidolf.
Is pope Leo a white Sox fan ? Cause they are winning a decent amount this year. I didn’t know the Pope could cast voodoo magic. If he’s a bears fan and they crush it this year, then it’s confirmed.
he is indeed
I taught middle schoolers when the new pope came around and for our current events day I showed them the photo of the pope at the 2005 World Series game lol
Thank you
Yes lol he was actually at the 2005 World Series
the Pope has hierarchy over the laity
Danhausen is more powerful than God confirmed
This means Trump’s curse is stronger than God and I don’t like this
gestures vaguely at everything
Cursed are stronger in person. Pope had to throw his blessing from across the ocean. It took a minute to get to New York.
Shit you’re right, we’re fucked.
That or he’s gods curse
Nuns vs Pope like Jogo vs Sukuna
Someone get me the Etsy Witches number, or their onlyfans idc
Them dollar slices hit
More I hear about this “God” fella more I don’t care for him. Takes all the credit for every win and none of the blame for any loss
I want to give KAT a hug. Canāt imagine losing my mother. Every time I hear him talk about his mom, I try to talk with my mother. Love this man.
He also lost like 5-6 other family members from COVID alone
I lost almost most of my extended family over a 6 year period. If I lost 6 of them in A YEAR? Put me away. I would cease to exist.
I lost five friends and family members in the space of two months. I got deeply depressed. Went to a therapist who basically said if I wasn’t depressed she’s have to diagnose me with a serious personality disorder.
“You’re just going to have to sit with that”
Yeah every 2 years my family suffered a loss, the biggest being my dad. I was seeing a therapist at the time it happened and she pretty much said the same thing - you have to experience it
Fuck man. This poor dude.
The resiliency to still be here finding joy in what he does and working to play at the highest level of his career is so astonishing and genuinely inspiring. If I went through that in COVID I’d probably still be partially catatonic right now.
And couldn’t visit them in the hospital and stuff. No final words or love yous.
And had the entire league and media and other team’s fanbase clowning on him calling him soft because he didn’t act like a typical big man on/off the court.
Glad he’s finally getting the respect he deserves and his dues.
KAT is the nicest dude in the league and deserves better from fans. I will defend him for the rest of time. True baller
He just seems like a real 100% genuine good dude, really hard not to root for him (tbh the knicks are one of my most likable teams I’ve ever watched, so many great guys on that squad)
100%. TBH I’m glad to see at least a little shift away from all that toxic fucking tough guy behavior from some of the best in the league. KAT wearing his emotions on his sleeve, Caleb Williams expressing himself how he wants to, hell fuck him this series but also Wemby talking about his emotions and wanting to be a nerd. Support all that. You shouldn’t have to be a piece of shit manosphere bro to be an athlete.
The amount of hate he has gotten for talking about it was always wild. Good to see everybody natuonally doing a 180 on him, took way too long
And I love when he says, just one thing to go right. This man has all the money, fame, fans. And yet loss has swallowed him up. I hope this fills his cup back just a little bit.
What playing for Minnesota does to a mf
How long you think we got before we break Ant?
Just orchestrate another global pandemic. Gobert is there to spread the love.
I was going to clown on the guy because heās clearly a millionaire with generational wealth. He won at life.
But then I remembered all of the personal stuff.
And oh my god, does his words ring true. He really does need this break.
Bro you think he wouldnt return every single dime if it meant his mom could be watching him play?
The things iād give away if i lost my mom to get her back. There is no price.
The only point of my post was that I completely forgot about what has happened with KAT’s family, including his mother’s passing.
So his emotions run on a totally different plane than anyone else on that roster.
Yeah one can imagine, that he feels like he’s gotten a lot in life financially, but for everything that matters other than money…luck never goes his way. So it’s good to see him fill his cup.
I really didn’t have a dog in the fight for this Finals, but now after the reminders about KAT, I’m totally rooting for him to win.
The dude is a great human. Thank you for embracing him for who is his. Rooting for you guys. Knicks in 5.
I agree, he deserves this ring so much man
Can’t help but really like most of the Knicks team, assuming we don’t pull off a crazy miracle I’m happy for them.
Jose such a yapper š he wants to talk so bad when KAT is talking but knows he canāt interrupt šš
He is a yapper, but he is our yapper.
Our Queens king
he’s from Brooklyn.
Grew up in Pomonok Houses (Queens)
Went to school in Queens
Atlanta rocking with Jose too ššš
He had a really nice message tooĀ
People are being way to cynical with KATās quote. Heās clearly not saying his life has gone terrible. He is saying this within the context of sports. Years of losing in Minnesota, finally breaking through with ANT only to be traded. Having an up and down start to the Knicks etc. And trying to overcome being down 29 at home.
All that mixed in with how much his mom was clearly his biggest cheerleader. I canāt imagine the bittersweet emotions that KAT is going through right nowā¦ knowing his mom is proud of him and all he has achieved at this moment, while also knowing that the one person he probably wanted to run to after the game was over was his mom.
His mom was a huge Knicks fan too so it’s even more special
If you don’t understand what KAT is meaning you should be grateful you don’t. Losing a parent, especially before their time, is something that changes you, and all the money and fame and success won’t change that feeling.
All the best for KAT. He deserves it.
My dad was diagnosed with cancer a couple of months after getting the promotion I’ve always wanted in my career. He passed a year after this diagnosis. I would give it all up just to have one more conversation with my dad.
I do not have a lot of money and having the kind of money KAT has would be life changing for me.
I would still give all of that up for more time with my parents. In a heartbeat, absolutely not even a choice.
Really wish he got to celebrate this with his mom. It’s sweet hearing him talk about her watching over him in these past 4 games.
Dude lost 8 family members to COVID, visited has gone terrible fuck the haters. Losing family members like that means way more than money.
I donāt even think it was his time in Minnesota that he was referring to
Most people can’t imagine what it’s like to be in his position. People just think he’s a millionaire in the NBA and that means that he should feel like he’s on top of the world.
But every day is a grind. You still have a personal life with struggles and battles and sometimes being rich or famous makes those things even harder.
In no way am I saying that nba players deserve more sympathy than anyone else bc they don’t. But they’re still human and, in their own mind, they are focused on their struggles just like everyone else.
Hard not to love KAT he wears his heart on his sleeve and hes a fantastic player
Momma was watching, KAT.
I completely understand KAT being emotional with all heās been through, but itās so funny to think about God at halftime being like āfuck the Spursā and giving the Knicks some magic.
God laid money on the Knicks at halftime and got great odds
God about to play for Texas Tech with that gambling addiction
Turns out God and DJT Jr are Kalshi’s two biggest investors.
Honestly watching the game thatās how it felt like
He meant OG is good man
Canāt spell God without OG
thatās exactly what he said, wym
People bringing up the money that KAT makes like he didnāt earn that lmao. So happy for him after everything heās been throughĀ
Bet heād trade every last dollar for some more time with his mother .
Its not just his mom either, didnt he lose like 10 other relatives just during covid?
The āI just wanted one break in life, one single thing to go my way,ā hit so hard. I love this man.
He would, when my dad passed and I got some money I would’ve given it all away and more for just 10 more seconds to hug him. Taking him off life support destroyed me for years.
Yeah along with every other human being. Heās got 300 million more than everyone else and hasnāt caught any breaks in life.
Letās not act like being able to play in the nba isnāt just the lack of the draw in the genetic lottery. He was a winner as soon as he was born.
True, though there’s a lot of guys that squander it.
if that were true then every athletic tall dude would be in the NBA
Playing in the NBA having a certain genetic requirement (height and wingspan) does not imply people meeting that requirement automatically make the league. It is necessary not suffiicent
Nobody ‘earns’ that type of money by throwing a damn ball through a hoop. The amount of money we throw at sports people, not just basketball players, is just ridiculous and an embarrassment to our species….we have no clue where our priorities lie.
I lost my mom during covid. To this very day it pains me in a way I canāt even put into words.
And I donāt have to grieve while millions of people watch me, cameras follow me everywhere, and iām constantly locked for the way I speak/act/play.
There arenāt enough words in the english dictionary to explain how profoundly hard it is to lose a parent, especially to a disease that you hadnāt heard of a year before.
Thereās even less words to describe how much respect I have for KAT for getting through it. Losing his mom, the homophobia, the constant quips about his talent. It is so impossible to not love KAT and not want him to succeed.
Iām so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad to a disease that moves like cancer in how it attacks soft tissue, back in 2014. Sarcoidosis. Itās so so so so painful and Iām thankful I was able to grieve privately and not have the spotlight on me. Him thanking his mom after Game 1 broke my heart. I knew exactly what he meant.
Redditors are weirdos ngl, there are people in here who think that just because someone is a millionaire then they can’t experience any hardships in life. I bet he’d give up every single cent he made in the NBA if he could bring back the family members he lost.
just be glad you have a much bigger heart than them. it’s sad that small-minded people exist but we have to remember there are more of us than them!
Mfs having a problem with him saying heās had a rough go at it because heās rich is weird as hell to me. Heās lost multiple family members in rapid succession including his fuckin mom
I love KAT so much dude, he deserves this
kat hire me bro. i need my break too. missing out on the mills.
KAT deserves this a lot man
I get that KAT has been through some shit recently, but saying ‘I just wanted one break in life’ when you’re 7-foot-tall, gifted with incredible basketball skills, and making millions in the country’s biggest media market is funny.
Sounds like he is talking about wanting a moment in life where he feels happy, and he got it tonight.
Yeah I thought this too. Overall, I get what heās saying with all of his bad luck with mother and other family members. But just maybe we are picking him apart a little much too
Bro lost 6 family members in a year or some shit man. It doesn’t matter how much money you have when you lose your family.
You know the sub is young when youāve got people in here going āyouāre 7ft and make 60milā. Any emotional intelligence would inform you to what he meant by āone break in lifeā.
Anyone thatās lived life a little, knows what actually matters. He lost his mom. He lost 8 family members during Covid. Not during his entire lifetime during, in a single year.
Itās not something you get over because you make ridiculous money and are a pro athlete.
Yeah lots of young people who only think about the money he made. Not what he went through.
Love u KAT
God not a big child cancer guy…..big basketball guy
7 foot tall NBA player making damn near 300 million dollars finally has something break his way.
āI just wanted one break in life.ā - says NBA star with $100M+
And a genetic freak. I swear some athletes are the most tone deaf people. Like Spreewell denying that $21 million dollar contract saying āI got mouths to feedā.
āI just wanted one break in lifeā sir you make 56 million dollars a year
Just a reminder that everyone is the main character in their life story.
After those performances KAT and the Knicks deserve the chip
I get what KAT is saying but at the same time brotha youāve made 100s of millions of dollars and are in the nba, your life has gone better than like 99% of people even with the losses heās endured. Also praise Fox not god
Rich people have feelings too. Heās a good guy, stop being such a Redditor and have some empathy
Poor KAT has only made 285 million so far from the NBA. I hope something finally goes right for him.
people will hate on this and itās awful to lose family but like damn imagine being poor and losing your mom lol
So basically what 90% of the world has or will have to experience, seeing as most of the world is poor and every single one of them will have to lose their mom at some point.
āOne break in lifeā bruh youāre worth over a hundred million dollars for playing a gameĀ
āJust one breakā says the 7 foot tall, multimillionaire twenty something. š
Cuz nothing has ever gone KATs way. Making tens of millions to play a childrenās game. Poooor kat. That shit is annoying.
Catching blessings! Much respect to KAT and Alvarado - saw it home tonight ā¤ļø
One of the best stories of this whole thing is these two getting traded to their hometown team right on time for this legendary run. Especially with KAT being great all playoffs and Jose showing out tonight, canāt imagine a better feeling
Man I’ve watched this team most of my life but I’ve never reacted to any win like I did tonight. This was just like idk how to even react or respond - this is like a new guard. Anything is possible in this city bro
The āI just wanted one break in life, one single thing to go my way,ā hit so hard after all the death in his family heās had to deal with since 2020. I love this man.
One break in lifeā¦ dude, shut the fuck up
One break in life, one thing to go my way. Says the 6’9” athlete worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Lol dudes have ZERO awareness
As someone who lost both parents at an early age KAT acts like heās the only one who ever been through difficult shit. You got plenty of breaks.
He just instantly reminded me why I was moving away from pro sports as a fan. So annoying
Getting paid millions on millions to play a game. I just need a break in life. Gtfo
Ya shit KAT it’s all been going terribly for you so far lmao 7ft tall 9 figure net worth fuck man I wish my life sucked that hard.
Hey its only 9 figures and not 10. You dont understand how hard he has it.
Rich ass basketball player “Ohhh no i wish things went well for me for once in my life” right
Wtf. All heās had his whole life is good shit. Genetics, athleticism, getting paid millions to play a childās game. These dudes are so detached from reality
If everything else has gone wrong, then didn’t God do a whole lot more bad than this one good thing?
Poor multi millionaire, Life newer goes his way.
Agreed.
Kat’s great and we all know what he means.
But taken out of context, this quote is the most hilariousky tone-deaf statement since Latrell Sprewell’s ‘gotta feed my family’, lol.
one thing to go his way? in his entire life?? calm down bro
I want one break. Dude youāre a good player in the nbaā¦ pretty sure things have gone your way for a while now.
He deserves it. Much more than any of the Spurs players that’s for sure
People tried to claim KAT playing like 4 minutes in the first half cause of some ācreativeā foul calls had no effect in the game.
KAT playing 14 minutes in the first half and it wouldnāt be the biggest comeback in NBA history.
Spurs and the league tried so much unethical bullshit to help the Spurs (any other combo of players on that Wemby foul on KAT a minute into the game and that challenge is laughed at not overturned) and playing Hack a Mitch like a bitch up 25 and all that hubris led to the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history
One break in life says the multi millionaire
Um, he’s probably talking about losing 8 family members during covid including his mom
successful multimilioner sports star wants one thing to go his way one time!
Yall are in the finals? Wtf is he talking about
Iād argue that being 7ā1 and an NBA player was all the break you needed.
Just one thing to go your way one time? Said by the man with generational wealth. What a fucking tool lol.
a lot of yāall equating money with happiness are ridiculous, itās okay for KAT to say this. Iād much rather have family members alive than have $300M+. Plus, Iām sure KAT feels extra guilty because with his money he couldāve isolated his family from Covid but didnāt
No offense to KAT and all the tragedies he has suffered but I do kind of feel like if you’re in the NBA and eligible for a $272.M extension than at least one thing has gone your way in life.
To think mid season you got guys in Knicks jerseys making fun of his sexuality due to his voice and demeanour.
NOW YāALL RIDING THAT KAT BIG DICK ENERGY TO A CHIP.
You do you big fella, keep winning.
Yeah like being a millionaire isnāt one thing that went well in his life
Whatās the fat pitcher from the Phillies got to do with this?
Beautiful words from a beautiful man, now KAT lets go out there and do this one more time.
One thing to go my way in life. My guy youāre in the fucking NBA making 57 million this year, pretty sure that went your way.
i dont think you could pay me $57 mil if it meant my mom had to fucking die, not to mention a bunch of other family members. money isn’t everything. money doesn’t solve grief or emotions.
Got bad news for ya bud. Weāre all ganna die. When you stop thinking that living to 60+ or even 30+ years old is given itās not. Living to old age is a privilege not a guarantee
Ask a starving child in sub Saharan Africa whoās already lost the vast majority of their village and likely parents, if theyād take the money or family. Perspective, man.
God is good because they won game 4. These athletes are stupid as fuck sometimes.
Multimillionaire nba star finally has something go right for them. God really is good.
Me too Kat me too
Both my parents died and my grandparents raised me and I watched them both die before my eyes. I wish I could catch a break too.Ā
Love this for KAT but cmon still need one more win.
This comment section is so dumb and shows how out of touch with reality you all are.
After all the losses that kat has suffered through heās not saying heās never had a break in life. Heās just acknowledging that heās had a lot of bad things happen and really wanted this.
KAT is like the only reason im excited for the Knicks to win the championship. So he should go out there and play like game 1 and 2 and win that MVP.
I know that was a big emotional win coming off the greatest comeback in NBA finals history but still gotta win one more. Get locked in and take it, youāre so damn close!
Just need 1 more win ! š
I have been saying for 2 seasons now no team will ever win anything with Karl Anthony Townsā¦ boy am I hoping he proves me wrong in a big way
I think KAT deflected the inbounds at 1.2 seconds.
this kat line reminds me that one line from ghost town
some day, i wanna lay down, like god did, sunday
what a emotional line. go get yours KAT
God doesnāt care about sports
You are a millionaire playing in the NBA, you are alright KAT.
On the one hand, KAT; but on the other, James Dolan.
KAt is the only reason I would be okay with Knicks winning. Outside of that naw
MSG WISHY WASHY AS FANS. NOT AS BAD AS THE HEAT
On thing to go good in his life….other than being almost 7 feet and having the God given talent to play a children’s game that makes you richer than you could ever imagine?
Yeah he deserved 1 good thing to happen. Just 1 tho
lol
The multimillionaire ājust wanted one break in lifeā lol
Hundreds of millions in nba contract is so hard..he just needed a break from it
Itās about hope. Itās about overcoming loss. All you sad MāFers cracking on KAT are just sad cause you have never experienced one moment of pure joy in your miserable lives.
It was all the sage used to cleanse the Garden before game 4 š£ļø Shout all to the heavenly motherās & fatherās š§”šš§”šš§”š½
Brother you’re one of the best professional basketball players on the planet the fuck you talking about ONE thing to go your way foh
So making the NBA wasnāt a good thing?
Jose must be on cloud nine with how he played being from NY. Damn son
“God is good, man.”
Meanwhile that same God just ripped the souls out of the Spurs and their fans and handed them them most humiliating defeat in NBA Finals history.
So god hates the spurs?
Good for them on this win, and I know KATs history, but I donāt know about āfinallyā something went his way for a multimillionaire
alvarado had a pair of extremely clutch buckets to narrow the lead while the knicks offense looked like it was about to stall again in the 4th; let the man yap
Someone bring KAT to Phish at MSG this Summer for some more collective joy.
LGK!!! One more time!!!
A physical freak of a man, getting paid millions to play a game just wants ONE break, ONE thing to go his way in life?
Oookay.
