Karl-Anthony Towns

Sam Mitchell, head coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves, has something he needs to get off his chest. His players need bigger chests. And biceps. And triceps. They just need to gain weight in general. The Timberwolves, henceforth referred to as the Timberpups, are one of the NBA’s early feel-good stories. With so many projects on [...]

Kobe Bryant knows that Kobe Bryant is old. At 37, the Black Mamba is playing through his 20th season, still a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, and now the only player in league history to spend two decades wearing one uniform. That kind of longevity provides perspective. You begin to appreciate the game more. [...]

Kevin Garnett has rookie Karl-Anthony Towns’ back. The 19-year-old Towns, who was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the first over pick in this year’s draft, was born a little bit after the 39-year-old Garnett made his NBA debut, and now they’re teammates, which is flipping cray and just out of this world.

Kentucky’s Karl-Anthony Towns has gained momentum as the top prospect in this year’s [...]

Ping pong gods are no fan of the New York Knicks. Phil Jackson and company had so much riding on Tuesday’s night’s lottery. They entered with the second-best chance (19.9 percent) at winning the No. 1 overall pick, and they desperately needed a top-three finish to nab one of the immediate fortunes-turning prospects, be it [...]
