But now that the two are teammates, he’s all about giving Sasha some love. Per the New York Daily News‘s Frank Isola: Carmelo Anthony has a history [...]

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.
