Karl-Anthony Towns shared a wholesome moment with a young fan at an NBA Summer League game. The young fan approached him and shook hands with Towns, and then told him that he was his favorite player and that his birthday wish was to meet Towns, and his wish came true. KAT was clearly moved by this, as he offered to take a picture with the fan.

Karl-Anthony Towns got to share a really wholesome moment with this young fan. It reminds not just the players, but some of the older fans that this is a big part of being a professional basketball player. While accolades are very important in the sport, the connections with fans will always be unparalleled.
Towns has found a lot of success and fanfare in recent years with the Timberwolves. He and Anthony Edwards have become a reliable and potent one-two punch for the team, and this past year, they were able to make a deep run in the playoffs for the first time since Towns joined the roster.
KAT and Edwards took the Timberwolves to the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 2004 and the days of Kevin Garnett. It was a great run for the Timberwolves, who bested the Phoenix Suns and the big three of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal, along with the reigning champions Denver Nuggets en route to the Western Conference Finals.
The duo wasn’t able to overcome the Dallas Mavericks but showed that they are a pair that must be taken seriously in the now-stacked Western Conference. Expect the Timberwolves to make noise once again in the Western Conference and be players come playoff time next season.
Karl-Anthony Towns Showed Love To Anthony Edwards
Karl-Anthony Towns was a guest on Paul George’s ‘Podcast P’ recently. He spoke about his relationship with Anthony Edwards, and how the media misconstrues their relationship as hostile. KAT noted that he loves Edwards and wants him to have all the success in the world, and is always rooting for his success.
“I feel it’s weird that the media tries to make it seem like I don’t want Ant to succeed. I’m the biggest Ant cheerleader I can be, the biggest fan. I want to see him win, I want to see him grow to be the face of the NBA, I want to see him do things that has never been done before. I want to see that.”
Towns and Edwards as a duo are just coming into their stride. As Edwards takes the next steps into superstardom, Edwards has shown that he can play well alongside him, and also serve as a bit of a mentor for him. It has been great to see both players evolve into their current roles.
KAT and Ant will focus on trying to bring a championship to the Timberwolves next season. They came agonizingly close to doing just that last season, and with the experience now in their back pocket, they could parlay that into championship success.
