How Karl Anthony-Towns RESHAPED His Career In New York

You can hear the hate all in Kenyon martin voice, he was throwing the most shade at the start of the season. I know its killing him inside to give that man respect

He did shoot 7-8 missed 3pts back to back .. in one of those games as well .. they could've did way better of not win of he had stopped chucking up 3s.. sometimes u not so hot and thats OK but stop chucking 3s if you are missing them .. try the 3s again next game, especially if you are 7ft tall

[@kayfromqueens4675]

Yup, as a die-hard fan when Kenyon came to NYK, it was like "Yes! We got him!" -- Respectfully, we knew not for 10+ years (age) but the same with Rasheed Wallace -- "Yes! We got him!" New York style players. In NYC, sometimes the "win" is simply showing up for the fight itself.

[@empire7179]

Kat is playing for his favorite team plus he's playing with his whole family watching across the river in Jersey. He's back home that's why he's doing so well. Even though Melo from Brooklyn he spent most of his life in Baltimore so he really wasn't back home with the Knicks.

[@SwypeTee]

Id leave Kat at the 5. He played center until Rudy came. Mitchell would be a good back up. Og is versatile with bridges that's good defensive forward core.

People just took Butler’s side and hated KAT way too much. We will see Butler become more and more of a team problem as he demands a trade, and realize KAT has always been good. He’s better now, but it’s absurd how much people assume the worst of him off such little evidence. Just Jimmy’s word.

[@mactorsarr]

Lets go knicks

[@RobWill5864]

I like how we act like most of the negative criticism KAT received with the Wolves is from his postseason play or not being able to make get his team to the postseason. He's always been a great regular season player. I get it though. We're a long way from the playoffs. Gotta have something to talk about until we get there.

Too Early in the Season we will revisit this conversation in April and see their record and what the Knicks and KAT and Brunson can do in the playoffs.He’s a good shooting big don’t get me wrong but he’s soft though and don’t want to dominate in the paint and not a good paint defender.

[@lawrenceS59]

Mitch coming back from injury. He wont be playing more than 25 minutes a game for the rest of the season.
