Karl-Anthony Towns is the exact player I’ve always said he is, yes
Nobody noticed because nobody watched the Minnesota Timberwolves, the organization sucked, we had to read about Jimmy Butler’s $100 coffees, and he lost his age-24, 25, and 27 seasons to injury
Then, his own team decided he was 5th in-line from a relative value standpoint in blended contract / performance
People can disagree, I respect that - I stand by what I said -> Make fun of me if it looks dumb in a few years
@EtiquetaNegra44 Y yo creo que te quedas sin argumentos y por eso tratas de atacar “mi comprensión lectora”. Podías poner el ejemplo con Dirk, que fue mejor que KAT, o con Pau, que fue🌟, no mejor que KAT, pero si un gran jugador, pero eliges traer a Rubio, y sabemos por qué lo haces 😉.._
@EtiquetaNegra44 Es que le das “halagos”, que realidad son limosnas; dices claro que no lo considerabas ⭐️,lo comparas con el caso de Rubio cuando la diferencia es del cielo a la🌎. KAT siempre ha sido una🌟 (6x AS, ROY, 3X ALL NBA), 23/11 de por vida.._
@EduardoVarelaTV@joserra_espn Eso no significa que no sea un caos para los que vivimos aquí; cada evento por separado conlleva su propia logística, cierre de calles y movimiento excesivo de personas hacia y desde el lugar, a eso sumarle calles cerradas solo con tránsito hacia y desde el MetLife. CAOS.._
@EtiquetaNegra44 Entonces el 74.8 Baskeball Referente se lo saca del forro?…
Fue pick NÚMERO 1, por bueno
Fue novato del año, por bueno
Ha sido el mejor triplero alto de la historia
Dejó a Jokic en 31% cuando lo defendió en 2024
23 puntos 11 rebotes en una carrera de 11 años
Objetividad 😉.._
@MSG_Rocking Chaq told to him like a father, I remember that game, and I remember I told to my son “KAT should listen Chaq, because he is showing confidence and love for him”.._
Take a moment to watch this prophetic exchange between Shaq and KAT from last February.
This was brutally honest advice from an NBA legend.
We are now watching it manifest into being, with the Knicks en route to a championship and KAT as MVP. And doing it against the freak of nature that is Victor Wembanyama.
Shaq: “At the beginning of the game, I said you were playing soft because I’ve seen you at times when you play great. And what you must understand in New York is that you need to be great for your guys to win a championship. If you guys win a championship, of course they’re gonna talk about Brunson, but it’s you and your play; you have to be dominant. You responded very, very well; you played very well. You played in the paint. That’s how you should play. You should always play.”
KAT: “For sure, but what you said too is, if we win a championship, they can talk about anybody as long as we get a ring, that’s the most important thing, I don’t care. I don’t care about any of that.”
Shaq: “No, but you’ve got to play great. One-two punch, and you’re part of that one-two punch.”
KAT: “Hell yeah, but I wanna make sure that we all understand that the main goal here is to win. It don’t matter who gets the credit or whatever.”
Shaq: “It’s not about credit. Nope, you got to play great.”
KAT: “Sure, I hear you. Legend, I agree with you.”
In other words, Shaq challenges KAT to toughen up and find his eye of the tiger. To drive the ball into the paint more, to stop whining about fouls and no calls and get back on defense. If he wants to win a championship, the Knicks need him to be aggressive both physically and mentally, it can’t just be Jalen Brunson.
KAT pushes back. Says it doesn’t matter who gets the credit, Brunson can have all the credit.
But Shaq doesn’t accept that answer. Because he knows what kind of greatness it takes to win a championship. And eventually KAT realizes he’s right.
If you hate KAT, I suggest you reconsider...
"I feel like other than losing a child there's nothing worse you could go through and it builds you up and it strengthens you beyond measure. That's why I got Philippians 4:13 and the date tattooed on my neck. I could do all things through Christ who strengthens me but I was strengthened on April 13 when I lost my mother. That's been my favorite Bible verse my whole entire life since I was little. I didn't know the significance it would have in my life when I became an adult. But what I do know is that I truly can do anything when I walk in faith, when I walk with the angels beside me. I feel anything's possible, I feel nothing's impossible...
I'm just grateful to be in this position because I know a lot of friends in mind that are not here to see this moment. I know a lot of people I love tremendously that aren't here to give me that hug or to give me that text message. I'm doing this for them. I do this for them, I do it for my mother's country, I do it for everybody in Dominican Republic, I do it for everyone in the city that welcomed my mother when she immigrated over. I do it for all my family in New Jersey that allowed me to be raised and allowed me to love this game of basketball and allowed me to be a kid with my mother and enjoy those times. It takes a tribe to get here and it takes a village and I'm so blessed that I've had the village I've had in my life to get to this point"
@ohsoblesssed1@MSG_Rocking Ok, but you are forgetting something, KAT is playing against the DEFENSE PLAYER OF THE YEAR winner, who comes to “another planet” and nobody is able to stop him, and nobody can challenge his “extraordinary” defense. 😉. The reasons why KARL ANTHONY TOWNS gonna be the FMVP.._
“He was criticized in Minnesota. He was criticized in New York. But the MVP of the Finals is gonna be Karl-Anthony Towns. He played two of the best games I’ve ever seen a big man play. That man earned his flowers.”
Charles Barkley with the highest praise for the Knicks center.
@Tysingerlaw@CenTexLib They did let it get excessively physical.
But they weren’t calling the game evenly. The best player on the floor was literally taken out in the second half by the refs. KAT fouls 3-5 were a goddam joke.
Now that it’s over, I can admit it.
These refs were favoring us.
The Knicks had to win by 15 in order to win by 1 — literally.
I love my Spurs, but I don’t want us to win in that manner.
Integrity of the game is more important to me: if we’re not the better team, let us lose.
@BlakeFlixy83944@vishnunairb@BronMuse Really 🧐, are you doing mention of the defense on Brunson?…
Do you know KAT has the DEFENSE PLAYER OR THE YEAR winner on him?…🤔
KAT figured out the way, and deserves the credit, that’s it.._
@yayo_hustla@TheNightMVP Tiene el peor silbato de toda la liga, todos lo sabemos. Una cosa es que de 1 o 2 faltas estúpidas por juego, pero luego los árbitros le cantan 3 estupideces inventadas.
Aún así amamos su talento.._
