Luka Doncic and Karl-Anthony Towns are both exciting young talents that got selected for this year’s All-Star game in Cleveland. Karl-Anthony Towns is quite possible the best shooting big man ever, and Luka Doncic is a hyper versatile player who has earned comparisons to LeBron James.
It is clear that the duo’s talent is highly regarded across the league. In fact, Michael Jordan himself gave them some love at the All-Star game, sharing an embrace with Luka Doncic and a handshake with Karl-Anthony Towns.
There is no doubt that getting some love from Michael Jordan must be a fantastic feeling as a player, as many people view him as the GOAT of basketball. It was obvious that Luka Doncic and Karl-Anthony Towns both appreciated the interaction, and the duo were all smiles afterward.
The All-Star game is now over, and the duo will now return to playing for their respective squads. Luka Doncic has the Dallas Mavericks sitting as the 5th seed in the Western Conference, which is impressive because when one looks at his squad, they have no star power asides from Doncic himself. Luka Doncic is clearly a generational talent that will be the face of the Dallas Mavericks for years to come.
Karl-Anthony Towns is part of a three-headed offensive monster on the Minnesota Timberwolves alongside Anthony Edwards and D’Angelo Russell. They are currently the 7th seed in the Western Conference, and they could potentially make the playoffs through the play-in tournament. It would definitely be fun to see Karl-Anthony Towns in a playoff setting, as he’s only made it once during his entire career. Karl-Anthony Towns has been outspoken about his desire to win championships in the past, and perhaps he’ll achieve that in the future.
Hopefully, both Karl-Anthony Towns and Luka Doncic both end up having productive seasons in the future. They are elite star talents, and it’s easy to see why Michael Jordan chose to show love to them.
