His mom will be proudly looking down on him playing in MSG, there in spirit. She will be celebrating the fact that he’s a Knick
KAT is going to get in this culture and fit right in. He's just on of the guys and the whole team will support him as well. We a Knicks Family, Welcome Karl.
Much better audio. Thanks Knicks YT channel
😂 ESPN has really gone down hill ever since the passing of Stuart
“It’s our home” yea that’s the way 💪🏾
🎉 yep
They really try to set him up wrong, with that question. But he handled it well
The bro being humble and chill but we all know HE LOVES BEING IN NEW YORK CITY!! LETS GO!!
Facts. His only regret is not being able to play with ANT. They were really close. If you watched how TEAM USA was around him he's just that dude everyone loves.
Hey guys he gonna be the best version of himself he can be and amplify his teammates and take it one day at a time and get better every day. There thats the interview.
can you do this for all the Knick interviews going forward? Saved me a bunch of time lol
On and off the court.
Yup.
And a joke about Brunson not knowing who he was.. lol
110%
I lost so much time 😢
We believe in you Towns go bring Knicks fans the Championship we’ve been waiting over 50yrs for
Huge Wolves fan for the last 15 years. Rooting for KAT in NY. He is a class act, works hard, and the effort he put on against Joker last year coming off the knee injury was really something. Enjoy New York.
He really did do a great job against Jokic, have to give him credit for that.
Sounds and looks that KAT is still in shock !
Everyone is
I feel bad for him because I think he'd rather be in Minnesota honestly, but, I really hope it works out for him
@@RJLKMRD It seems like he has not embraced fact that he is playing in NYC Bland answers
He very much still in shock. My perception when it comes to the answers is he is more present. This is the first practice 1st day with the team n he missed media day. Hes not gonna sit and project to the media or live-in what this could potentially look like. Hes attack everyday n focus on the process.
@@RJLKMRD And that's the same thing many got from the JR and Divo presser.
I’m gonna miss this man. Incredible person, please New York, give this man the patience and appreciation he deserves. Genuine, caring, and a hell of a basketball player.
he isnt curing cancer he is earning 40 million to play basketball. That's the appreciation
You said it so well😍a bit of patience will go a long way. He is going to do great in New York💪🏽
@@nycitylifeandhistory He has done a lot more for the community of Minnesota than a lot of professional athletes.
Ignorant conment@@nycitylifeandhistory
@@nycitylifeandhistory Welcome to NY 🤣
I didn’t know Kat was this well spoken. Seems really genuine and smart
KAT got choked up there at the end. I love the way this man is intentional with his answers. Glad to see their in the gym getting that work in before this season kicks off!
Welcome to NY. Proud Dominican!
I’m pretty sure he’s from NY 😭
@@mikeysbusy He from NJ
I'd make you wave the 🇵🇷
@@mikeysbusyhe’s from Edison/Piscataway NJ
klk
Let’s go Knicks
LEST GOOOOO! great guy Great response!!!
It's our home 🔥💯🔥
Dominican & from Jersey!!! Let’s go!!!
You do realize he's black too?
man he's too humble. MSG is your home my guy, own that shit 🔥🔥🔥🔥 welcome to NY 👏👏👏
I could cry I’m so happy, never did I think the Knick would be contenders and have competent coaching, front office and talented players who love the game and want to win man I cannot wait for this season
I'm a Wolves fan now but from Chicago and the Jordan years. Always respected the Knicks and the battles they gave us during those years. Those were the real finals at least twice. I will be getting my second Knicks jersey soon of Towns. My first was Sprewell and still have it to this day. NY GET UP
This is what you like to hear from a guy who is going to be a big part of your team! Good Job Karl Anthony Towns! Can't wait to see these guys play basketball together! Let's Go Knicks!
# 32 Welcome to the New York Knicks.Glad you're a part of the team let's work 💪
Knicks fans should welcome him with open arms. we need what he brings to the table and he should feel more comfortable being himself here in NYC than in Minnesota 🙏🗽
yeah I'm sure knicks fans will go easy on him lol
KAT is the master of saying a lot without saying much... Take care of our boy Knicks fans he is a good dude and has the talent to be a Elite....
I like his responses man. I'm excited about what he brings to the team outside of the game. I can imagine his family is super proud of him.
I really hope it works out for you KAT you're such a kind dude.
We love and miss you you KAT. I hope you do amazing things for the Knicks. Twolve forever!
WELCOME KAT LFG KING
Take care of our guy. KAT will always be one of my favorite players. Y'all will love him. One of the most misunderstood players in the league
He’s not feeling this move at all right now. I’ve heard multiple interviews from him and they are full of energy and thoughtful answers. He’s a complete robot here. It’s gonna take him some time to warm up to this. Hopefully not too much time.
It was his dream to play for the Knicks as a kid. He will be very happy in NY believe it
I mean who would be? After 9 years and going as far as they did last year to then just be traded when he never asked to be traded.
@@M4PAT that was before he made it to the western conference finals with the Minnesota Timberwolves.. Hopefuly the dream is still alive in him.
@@M4PATWe as Fans are excited but 9 years is a long time. You don't just feel at home over night especially when it's with players u never build with,hung with compared to being back home in minesota itwill definitely take him some time
@@BrooklynKnicksFan it will take time of course but just watch and that pick roll between him and Brunson gonna be lethal
crazy how much better this is than the espn post … almost like hearing the interview is the most important part 🤔🤔
ESPN as a network, the people running it, they're terrible
One thing I can tell watching him for his whole time with the Wolves-He knows how good Ant is and he's not bummed about being off the Wolves at all-but he really wanted to play with ANT his whole career.
Yeah
Anthony Edwards is top 5 in the league along with Giannis, Doncic, Jokic and Tatum
@@bobbenbrown123 Good list. And ANT just turned 23....I felt two years ago I saw signs of young MJ in ANT.
@@user-dm4wk2rw5e Doubt you saw that. He ain't no were close to a rookie MJ outside of how they look
As a Wolves fan, take care of this guy. Sure, maybe he’s not the most tough player on the court mentality, but he’s such a positive dude despite what’s he’s gone through in his life. I’ll be a Knicks fan from afar!
I will miss you Kat remember watching him during his rookie season with KG
New York stand up we going all in let’s get this championship
Yall never gonna win a championship
Well spoken very clear precise and intelligent ❤
Never imagined a local product from my town playing for the Knicks. I have my reservations, but this is insane. He’s already speaking like he’s on full Knicks mode
Cheer up KAT we all grieving
giving off a jeter esque vibe, as in well spoken, confident, humble & even keel.. i like it
Yes ... Let's go. My son gonna have a career year.
Welcome Kat to the Garden! 🏀
This feels like the KP trade do over. Shout out to Julius Randle and Donte, welcome to New York K.T. we are rooting for you.
FACTS
Going to miss Dante Divencenzo 😢
Great fit for the team 👏 💪
We never even seen them play yet calm down
this is going to be a different level of intensity for him. lets see how he responds
Lets Fn Gooooo
God bless you KAT! Just know that you are in good hands and that the heavenly Angels are watching over you 💟❤️🙏
know what i love about KAT he is a superstar player and he dont care about the spotlight he just plays
give him some time , just imagine being in his situation being traded outta nowhere i expected him being a lil down ….but being close to home and a winning ny knicks team you gonna see all smiles in no time 💯💯
Welcome to NYK Orange And Blue Skies 🟠🔵🟠🔵
There’s hope he said “You guys know what Tibbs is all about “ boy I hope you keep that in mind 🙏😎Let’s go Knicks !!!
"Hi my name is Karl." 😂😂😂
The best of the whole interview🤣🤣
bro said "flabbergasted" lmao
Welcome to your new home🎉
Ik his mom smiling ear to ear rn🙏🏾🕊️
Welcome to the New York Knicks!
Let's goooo 🔥🔥 it's the Jalen Brunson era
I know he feels sad and betrayed right now , but best believe KAT you’ll love it here !! Our fans going to think your the goat playing here with your skillset and personality !!🧡💙
New York media will tear this dude to pieces
I believe in you KAT let’s bring it HOME
He's excited to play for us... Not buying the whole idea of him being shocked 😂
Plátano power is in the Garden... LFG!!!
C = KAT
PF = OG
SF = Bridges
SG = Hart
PG = Brunson
KAT is a good guy--if New Yorkers give him a solid chance, most will like him, especially if the league lets everyone play more physical, as then he'll get dinged less for offensive fouls on his line drives to the rim. Hopefully he doesn't try to force flashy passes a bunch. Good luck Karl, if you're reading YT comments about yourself--you'd be better off researching good restaurants in NYC to check out!
I'm not 100% sure, but I think what he's saying is that they have to put the work in every day and be the best version of themselves.
Don’t forget, he’s gonna amplify his team. Each and every day.
On and off the court
I think he also might've said that he wants to be the best teammate he can be, on and off the court. Not totally sure though
@@pyrrhicvictory5844 ahh yes. Thanks for that. Totally missed that part!
😂😂😂 thought it was just me hearing that
New York take care KAT. He will be truly missed here in Minnesota
He's from Jersey...New York doesn't need to take care of him....he's basically coming back home.
@@miky9619he’s saying don’t be dicks to him. We know how you guys roll.
Welcome to NY KARL ANTHONY TOWNS
After all that 😂
We gonna shake up the league this year b NEW YORK STAND UP
BIG PURRRR LGK
Welcome Kat .. I’m still sad about losing Randle & Donte as well as IQ trades are necessary but still have mixed feelings when you like players !
bro was looking at a scipt lmaoaoa
Welp I guess I’m a partial Knicks fan now.
His heart is still in Minnesota. He doesn’t sound thrilled about being a Knick. I hope that changes over time.
This move is good for KAT
#KnicksNationNoMatterWhat Tho
Lets go kat NYC is watching
He definitely read the media day talking pointa
Best teammate I can be on & off the court
Amplify my teammates
Put the work in
Nice
Lol KAT is not happy. Answers barely even made sense with what was asked most of the time, man is devastated
HE'S DEFINITELY NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS !!!
BIG PURR HAS ARRIVED. CHAMPIONSHIP OR BUST.
Welcome now let’s hit it
Welcome to the squad Kat!!! Let the naysayers sleep!!!
People that don't think KAT is gonna make a big difference! Will see!! And catch the Vapors😂
For you haters who call him soft:
This series KAT guarded Jokic for 38min 171 poss allowed 42 pts 16ast 7to.
Jokic shoots 41FG%(18-44) 13% (2-15) 3PT
Next best defender on jokic this postseason is AD, who guarded jokic for 44min 205 poss & allowed 67 pts 25ast 4to.
Jokic shot 52FG% (26-50) 42% (5-12) 3PT
Other notable defenders vs Denver
Naz Reid- 18min 90 poss 33pts 9ast 3to 56FG% (13-23) 50% (1-2)3PT
Rudy gobert- 18min 88 poss 50pts 7ast 4to 51FG% (19-37) 17% (1-6) 3PT
He is actually very sad about this trade, hope he heals enough to play well
Kat already in the NY State of Mind, all that soft rumors is out the window when in the city
flabbergasted....dude was in Minnesota way to long
Donte looked miserable at the presser. Julius asked about going to a contender in MIN and he said, "it could be a lot worse." Lol
I wonder how KAT feels about a reunion with Thibs.
"Flabbergasted" 😂💅
NY culture bigger than Minnesota culture, no disrespect
Welcome to NY… BTW don’t take it personal if the fans groan when you shoot threes… they’re gonna want you in the paint.
D. Book next 😂
Alright kat. i have good and bad expectations. Lets call it down the middle and see what we got.
Welcome to ny lol
Damn, you can tell he’s bummed he won’t be part of the wolves championship this year 🐺
I’ve been watching KAT highlights and he can PASS. He might break his career high 5 AST a game record
My boy was not trynna get traded, good move for Knicks but head scratcher for Minnesota
No, we needed your talent, that's why we did it, I think we were fully prepared to go into the season with Towns, but it was just too good to pass up
Yeah ok
You're getting a great player obviously and I'm excited to see how he fits with you
We missed shot creation last year, we did not have enough shot creation, Edwards was our only shot creation and Towns, as you will see, he's not really that kind of player....
It’s definitely a great move for NY, powerhouse move at that.. but timberwolves, they just delayed there chances at a title run bc they’re breaking up the continuity they had there
Lol the love and support is hilarious because it will turn into inevitable rage and hate when Kat does Kat things and you then look at his contract and realize your are stuck with a soft over paid non winning injury prone player thanks as a wolves fan
Yo he really don’t want to be here. He gave off the same energy Randle and devo gave in their press conference. I hope that changes later down the line for him otherwise this is going to go down as one of the worst trades is Knicks history. I hope i absolutely wrong. LETS GO KNICKS!!!
