He's an elite professional. There is one time I can think of where he had a bad game and it looked horrible and he didn't do a post game for the press. Every other horrendous loss Minnesota has suffered for the last decade, he has been there to man up and take the shots/questions. When Ant came out and was an obvious stud, he graciously stepped back to let Ant shine. When we got Gobert and they gave him KAT's position, he humbly lost weight, worked on becoming a PF, and made it work even though he had to sacrifice a ton of his offense and aura.

Dude will do what it takes to win and help the team, bottom line. The only thing he never could master on his end was keeping his emotions in check. He's been improving on that in the last couple of years and looks MUCH better today in that regard. As he said, he plays with ****** passion and it can get the best of him but its also what makes him so fun to watch. He's a hooper.

Regardless of the content of your post (and the KAT homerism ), it's very good for us board regs to have someone from "outside" with some specific insight that we probably (mostly) don't have posting. So ... "keep on ... doing you".

I''m a KAT homer but I try to call it like it is, I have definitely had some issues with KAT but that doesn't take away from how great he is, flaws and all. I'm just so happy to see more NBA fans, more people who know ball, actually recognize how good he is. It was frustrating spending all these years hearing people talk out of their ass cheeks about what kind of player and person he is, it's crazy how much life a narrative can take.

OG really is like Kawhi in how he manages his emotions.

I like how he funnelled players in a way that allowed KAT to react and play good D.

This season has been full of learning moments for our guys. In previous years we have got moral victories. This year we’ve won and learnt at the same time.

Must have been frustrating. Something something KP something something.

Cam Payne very enjoyable. Think he's very unpleasant to play against. Love having a guy with his confidence coming off the bench.

Ahem. You know I'm going to nit-pick if a projected trade is $1 out of alignment. Why wouldn't I hate on this identification. :lol:

Remember when we hoped and prayed the Knicks could get a decent PG for like almost 20 years? Now they have 4 guys who can play PG 'decent' or better...

Each one is better than the last PGs we had before JB. What a relief!

Breen in his gentleman manner was DISGUSTED with that man's game.

The Knicks currently have the 2nd best win% at .697 in franchise history behind 92-93 team that finished with .732.

Not saying they haven't had a better one at some point during a season just that they currently have the 2nd best.

When KAT palms the ball and surveys, it’s almost guaranteed that something good will happen
