Most of the stuff KAT says sounds prepared. He just doesn't like to truly speak his mind as he has been ridiculed about it in the past. I have no problem with what he said....or what he didn't say.

Kat can't help himself. There is a reason he has been 'ridiculed'.. it's warranted. And it's a good thing that he doesn't truly speak his mind as you stated. Would just make him look more foolish.

When KAT stated he was the best shooting Big ever he was simply stating a fact and he got ridiculed for it. KAT is easily better than Dirk who is his closest competition for that.

In January, Towns averaged 25.6 PPG and shot 49.5% 3P.

upped his 3pt volume too, almost 6 attempts per game
had been closer to 4.5 attempts previous two months

ALL-STAR!

I remember KAT's first time All Star selection. I think it was between him and Gobert. KAT got in and Gobert didn't.

I'm really happy that KAT made the All-star team. Leading up to the announcement I thought KAT and Rudy would end up splitting the votes such that neither would make it.

Congrats to both Ant and KAT on their All-Star inclusions - Great to see them rewarded after a brilliant half of the season

I am really surprised at how some people are acting as if KAT making AllStar team over Sabonis is a big surprise. KAT has averaged 23/9/3 as 2nd option for No1 seed. Also super efficient shooter from 3 at 45% and 64% TS. I wouldn't have minded Sabonis making over KAT but way OTT reactions from some media people.

Towns a STUNNER??? LMAO. Hollinger is an idiot.

I saw Towns on about half the talking heads in the days leading up to the announcement.

KAT has been hamstrung by bad MIN teams before, so it was nice to see some of the voters stick with their rubric of rewarding team success. Ant was getting in for sure, and if a voter wanted to award either KAT or Gobert as a second MIN inductee, I’m glad they chose KAT here. All Star game is an offensive show, and Gobert is going to get DPOY at the end of the season.

Either higher trade value, or an inflated ego that we have to deal with before he let's us down.

Unfortunately, you are biased. Try posting that on the general board... seriously

You know this is his 4th time right?

What about this one would inflate his ego.

Not biased one Iota. I checked the numbers. KAT far superior. Yes he will get ridiculed for it, but it's a fact.
