Pretty amazing to see KAT demolish a dude like Steven Adams last night. He's one of the best defensive bigs in the league and really couldn't slow him down.

Very interesting article. I wouldn't mind if MIN and KAT can use some Jokic tricks.

Just wait until he starts getting more of the foul calls he deserves!

I saw the tweet some days ago and I can't seem to find it now, but over the past 45 games...

http://stats.nba.com/players/traditional/#!?sort=REB&dir=-1&Season=2016-17&SeasonType=Regular%20Season&DateFrom=01%2F09%2F2017&DateTo=04%2F13%2F2017&TeamID=1610612750&CF=PLAYER_NAME*E*

28.2 ppg on 59.4% Fg%, 42.6% beyond the arc, and 84.9% from the free throw line. Those are just ridiculous percentages on a very large sample size. I don't think any player has ever averaged 60/40/90, and if you would have said that Towns could even come close to those percentages I think most would have scoffed, but to see what he is doing currently at 21...

KAT is good at basketball.

Good thing we didn't pick Okafor... that would be pretty embarrassing now.

He's our alpha dog. Really think his passing and defense will come around too.

I think his passing has increased from his rookie season already. I doesn't really show up in the numbers yet, albeit seeing an increase of 0.7 assists per game, but he's gotten so much better passing out of the double teams other teams throw at him. That's very encouraging to see.

But, yeah, defense will be the most important thing.

Dude's one of the best young players I've ever seen. For the way the game is played now, with the 3s and the ball movement, he's nearly the perfect player. He's huge. Athletic. Scores around the basket. Passes with ease. Shoots the 3. Runs the floor. Cleans the glass. Protects the rim. A future All Time Great.

I could see KitKat getting him to do some legit ads. We should get KitKat onboard as jersey sponsors.

The commercial was posted less than an hour after they made the request. I'm pretty sure these are legit ads.

If you are getting paid by a company to promote something, you're legally obligated to put #ad or (This is an ad) or this is sponsored/paid for by blahblah.

So Kit Kat already paid the big KAT

I saw the new Gatorade commercial with Michael Jordan, Serena Williams and ... Karl Anthony Towns.

Gatorade recognizing greatness, and getting in early.
