[SNY Knicks] Karl-Anthony Towns talks about playing with Jose Alvarado:
“It’s tough for me to be a Dominican talking about a Puerto Rican like…”
Most New York thing imaginable
Seriously. This is crazy amazing for the city. Just hope those asshole folks can start treating others better. Bad rep of a largely unproblematic fanbase. Just like all lunatic fanatics. Ruining fun for others.

MAMAGUEVO
MAKIN’ MOFONGO
I haven’t seen enough Jose glaze. Him and Brunson are just regular sized humans who just closed out a generational comeback against a 8 foot alien. He had 8 extremely important points in the 4th and that backcourt play near the end was savvy as hell too
He has been playing insane against Wemby. I feel like Jose beats him on the majority of their matchups on both ends despite the insane height difference.
The way Jose did a little spin move to clear Wemby out of the paint and give himself an open layup is genuinely 4D chess
Jose a little bulldog, not scared of Wemby at all
Picking a fight with Mark Williams man… Dude’s insane
Dude used to be the heart of the Pels. I think it’s to his advantage that he’s used to being the smallest guy on the court. Completely unafraid. A 12 foot alien is just another giant that he has to beat.
Was it a generational comeback by the Knicks or just an all time choke by us?
por que no los dos
Yes.
it takes 2 to Tango, so…..
So New York!!
Need Romeo Santos to mediate
Romeo Santos and Daddy Yankee
and Marc Anthony
And Dominican Lou!
And JLos ass!
Y mi machete
I’m from the old school — Let’s bring out Juan Luis Guerra!
Romeo Santos is mixed though.
Ahh, true. Fair enough.
He needs to bring the vibes
You can have George Santos, take it or leave it
Saturday is also the Puerto Rican Day parade here in NYC. One hell of a day incoming.
Sunday
Even better if Saturday goes as planned!
Can someone explain this to me? I never knew PR and DR folks had a rivalry or something
Its basically your classic sibling rivalry
google SEAblings if you want more example.
How serious it is depends on who is involved, but all the Hispanic countries in the Caribbean talk shit about each other lol. I’m Cuban and my family all talks shit about Dominicans and Puerto Ricans, but usually it’s more just kidding than anything. There’s definitely some actual dislike depending on where you’re from though.
I listened to Trinidadians and Jamaicans argue over whose island was better for 3 hours in a bar in Brooklyn once
I thought it was getting serious at times but I think it was all in good fun and everybody left happy
i bet you were expecting a resolution. i wasn’t there but i know damn well neither of them budged on their position, wont even agree to disagree the debate is still open.
Ha, me, the white guy from the suburbs who has been to neither jumped in every once in a while with a “guys I bet both islands are cool” and was mostly ignored with good reason. But someone did explain to me that this is just a tradition they must go through lmao
it is tradition lol, im caribbean myself, if i was there i wouldve jumped in saying my island is the best. no malice or hate, just a fun little debate.
A lot talk shit about gueros and morenos as well. Especially when I was living in Miami
I feel like the only true hate is Dominicans hating Haitians. And from my understanding, a lot of that is because the government uses Haitians as a scapegoat and says they illegally cross the border and take all the jobs from Dominicans because of how poor the economy is in Haiti.
Some people have genuine dislike for each other, while others argue on Mangu vs Mofongo (both are godlike)
Mangu has a higher floor, mofongo a higher ceiling
Meeting my wife and being introduced to mangu, rabo, and sancocho changed my life
Wait till you meat me 😏
My family is from Cuba, we’re historically a bunch of haters.
KAT and Alvarado were born about 30 miles away from each other in New York and New Jersey btw
That 30 miles is a different “country”. 8 miles in NYC area are different “countries”.
Those 30 miles could be like 19hrs with the traffic lol
Central and South Americans lowkey kinda hate each other
They’re very culturally close which leads to a rivalry in some aspects. Some of them have a lot of love for each other though some dislike the other.
It’s more like a sibling thing
I love me some folks
[deleted]
Strange way to partake in this convo
Nope. It’s a friendly rivalry as all of them shared similar culture from being Spanish colonies, climate, language and food.
QUE LO QUE
K LO K
DOMINICAN POWER!!!
Can’t be harder than a Dominican speaking kindly to a Haitian
Yep. Dominican and Puerto Rican is more of friendly rivalry.
Haitians is a whole another host of issues.
KAT is so articulate, I could easily see him being an analyst or an announcer after his career
After all that?
¡WEPA!!!
This is so New York it hurts
KAT my dominican brother. Jose you cool too
¡¡WEPA EL TIGRE!!
D’lo shout-out in the finals wasn’t on my bingo list.
I’m so happy for Jose. It was a shit return we got for trading him, but I’m glad he’s getting this opportunity and looking great.
Pels are hoarding their players while being bottom feeders. They are never going to get the return they want because they have all become no winning players now. Pels tank everyone’s value. Jose just lucked out.
The highschool he went to has a basketball camp every summer, and i know FOR A FACT theyre going to harp on the importance of boxing out EVERY SINGLE DAY
Boricua! Shout out to my Dominican brothers and sisters.
Let’s fuckin go!!!
Good thing he isn’t Haitian!! 🤣😂🤣
Too real
I’m waiting for GTA to do a signature steal in the finals
Boricua and Dominicano stand up! Love my dominican brothers and sisters, much love from a boricua.
