“I’m the greatest big man shooter of all time. That’s a fact. You can see the stats. I ain’t got to play like no one else. Everyone trying to find themselves to be the second version of me when I’m the first version. I don’t got to be the second version of someone else. I’m already an original. I don’t have to be a duplicate of someone else.” - Karl-Anthony Towns


KAT last 2 games: 7 total made FGs
KAT 3pt shooting: 2 for 7 (28%)

Kats usually a real 1 but he just doesn’t seem to be that man in the playoffs

Not a single person is surprised to see KAT crumble under pressure.

Guy is soft as hell, just listen to the way he talks. He's so fucking corny, doesn't have a mean bone in his body.

Personally I don’t want my big man to shoot. I want him to scrap and bang it out in the post. Being able to shoot is cool, but maybe like 2-3 attempts a game at MOST

It's 2022 though, you have to be able to space the floor and/or create for yourself as a big man if you want to be a centerpiece. The days of centers being one dimensional and just standing in the paint all game are over. Now they are asked to defend in space on the perimeter, switch often, and be able to pick and pop or at the very least knock down an open corner three or mid range jumper.

If not, you just fall into the role of being a solid piece but not someone you can build around type of players like Gobert, Allen, etc who all get exposed in the playoffs.

Did you see the halftime report of the warriors game last night where Barkley said, “when a guy’s banging you…” referring to physical play in the post, but then Shaq starting clowning him off camera and he couldn’t finish what he was saying
