I don't eat grape jelly out of the jar, but it tastes great with peanut butter and bread. KAT is jelly. Without good ingredients around him, he's just a lot of potential. Now he's got a good coach again and the right pieces around him, he's doing a lot better. He's no Giannis or Joker. But he's good enough to be the difference on a team that has great pieces at every other position and a good bench.
Classic contrarian Ryen here. KAT has been awesome for the Knicks. Not even sure what he was trying to say in this video, he really rambled all over the place to finally question whether KAT is a winning player
Tell me if this makes sense. The thing with KAT is he isn’t a #1 option unless he plays with another #1 option, but when he does play with a 1A he’s a very close 1B. Alone he’s not that. And I can understand why the Minnesota fans love him, he’s straight up one of the nicest guys you can’t help but like him. As a Knicks fan I think we all agree. None of us wanted to trade picks for him in addition to matching salaries, I was VERY against that. But to only trade Randle, who we had no chance of extending, and Donte who was amazing but not a needle mover, to get KAT in return is just wild. Hearing more from him and seeing what he’s about, he’s just so likable as a person and he’s BALLING at the same time
EPM always suggested KAT was this good. He just played on awful teams for most of his career. Only Jokic, LeBron or Steph could turn Wiggins and D'Lo into lemonade.
Yes it was a great home coming for KAT!The fans were out in full force for #32 they love him so it was well deserved. KG is KAT's mentor there is no need for comparison.Thanks to the Timberwolves for recognizing his contribution to the organization and the community.
At the end of the video you ask “am I wrong about KAT?” Bro you lost me in the first 30secs when you started by saying “he’s not my fav guy” that already shows theirs an underlying agenda to your take already. Funny guy
the knicks need to do well in the playoffs with kat first tho, enjoy the foul trouble, bad defensive anchor n mental mistakes, the knicks have a good roster ofc theyll pile up regular season wins
That s a long way to say „I don‘t really like KAT as a player, Russillo“ lol - He put up a great statline - … why can‘t you just say, that he played a great (not a good or very good) against the Wolves ? He had a couple of high level this season so far
The KAT trade exemplifies, “You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.” Many in the media were focused on his shortcomings (defense, late game decision making, lack of Playoff success), without appreciating what he is elite at: 3-point shooting, efficient scoring, and rebounding, not to mention his team-friendly attitude and playing style. KAT has a good chance to finish top-5 in MVP voting this season.
KAT was 18&11 with 2blks & 2stls as a rookie, and his second year in the league he was 25&12 and 37% from 3. He’s been an excellent player since he entered the league. The media has been down on him for reasons they have no statistical evidence for
Its nothing to be conflicted about for me i hate how Minnesota is playing, and anthony Edwards looks diferent then last year he looks like all these other players shoooting 3pointers all day
No one questions Kat in the regular season, its about the playoffs with him, so we will see, but happy for the knicks. Twolves need to really think of bringing randle off the bench, but ive never been high on the wolves like the media has
If Minny traded KAT away because of money, then what’s the point of drafting 2 players with the first overall pick and trading for a DPOY? Aren’t these the problems you wish to have? For Ant to become worth a max, and for KAT to be worth a max, and for Gobert to justify the trade by becoming DPOY? Like what was the point of all this if the luxury tax or second apron scares you off that plan?
People like this guy that hate on Kat have clearly rarely watched him play. They watch espn highlights and a couple of games a year and think they are experts. 🤦♂️
Very few if any analysts had this trade being able to elevate knicks to a solid top four seed in east. Kat is a bonafide all star all nba talent. Jalen will not adjust to this well as season progresses. But he makes them legit contender in east. I did not see this but randle had to be moved
the 8 comments here all act as if the knicks are better now ? didnt see this so far and no matter what - playoffs is what iscounting and not some record in season
You could’ve watched more than 14 billion videos uploaded to TH-cam and you clicked on a video about Karl Anthony Towns returning to Minnesota. You care :)
@ just to post a comment for Ryen. This showed up on my front page because I watched the Colin Cowherd interview. Haven’t watched a second of this video, which ultimately hurts the algorithm which in turn plays a part in less NBA videos being put into the top of recommended videos etc. I’m doing my part!
@@LastTerminalNetwork if you didn’t watch a second of the video, did you immediately hit pause after the ad ended before the time hit 1? And then typed your comment in complete silence before hitting post and exiting the video
Minnesota fans didn't love KAT when he was in MN until last year and the WCF run. There was a big portion of the fan base that were done with him before then. The problem with the trade is the return. Julius Randle has killed the mojo of this team completely. His body language is atrocious and his iso ball is horrible to watch, not to mention his lackluster care on defense. It also hasn't helped that DDV has been awful as well. Myself as a MN fan has been trying to cope hard because honestly it looks like there's no where to go from here. But we'll see how it goes. Tim Connelly has given me no reason to doubt him yet. And I remember feeling the same way a halfway through the 1st Gobert year. But I am not sure who is going to want to trade for Randle.
bruh connelly doing this trade should bring you doubt, MN was obviously better with kat than randle hence the playoff run and if youre going to trade a big it needed to be gobert, and i dont want to hear about money, this was the first time MN was going to be good with momentum to build off since KG or ever so you pay to keep that going n not be cheap otherwise you end up with this situation where i can see ant getting fed up n asking out in 1-2yrs n then back to rebuilding
What a 2+2= 🐠 azz “I stay on Reddit” take. Mind your own business and do better. You a clown. We love KAT. You listened to the 12 year olds and that’s on you.
delusions lol 🤣🤣 these so called wanted to moved on from towns and claims that people who doesnt agree with them only started loving kat last year are pieces of work 🤣 must be a butler fans saying these or bandwagons who rode the north train when espn reported something about "mj's son" sighting in minnesotta last year. ungratefuls and non loyals lmao.
Russillo talked a lot of shit last playoffs but now he’s Nostradamus and knew KAT would be good on the Knicks 😂😂
It’s so frustrating
9:06 Did you not catch his whole "no it's the children who are wrong" conclusion?

He's a clinical narcissist. You have to realize these people are literally just talking to themselves in a latent mirror. They aren't real people.

He is saying the nicest, most contridictive way that he's wrong while also comparing him to KG as if both aren't great at what they do
KAT looks like he belongs in that Knicks jersey ngl
How can Ryen not understand why Minnesota still loves KAT?? Hating for no reason smh

I feel like he’s clearly the best player on the Knicks
Russillo actually said the Knicks lost the trade when he was on bill Simmons….this guy is just talking at this point

It was trading one year of Randle and Dante with his team friendly contract for KAT and his big contract.
Y’all where just wrong about KAT lol Same with Scoot, same with Kyrie etc
lol we were all right and we are still all right - dont know what scoot wants here but your comment sounds like the critiziscm was wrong lol
..what's funny? "Yall where just wring about KAT duuhhhduurrr ahahaha"

You were wrong bro simple as that.
ugh... as a Wolves fan I had to get in the right place to deal with this episode lol
Its nothing to be conflicted about for me i hate how Minnesota is playing, and anthony Edwards looks diferent then last year he looks like all these other players shoooting 3pointers all day
I actually respect the fact that this guy can at least admit that his perspective may not be everyone elses.
Minnesota doesnt have a pg you will say Mike but hes not in his prime....Knicks do & hes a superstar in his prime you add Katt to this WOW
No one questions Kat in the regular season, its about the playoffs with him, so we will see, but happy for the knicks. Twolves need to really think of bringing randle off the bench, but ive never been high on the wolves like the media has
Even if Towns underperforms in the playoffs he still will be better than Randle come playoffs
You crazy as hell if you think they can talk randle into coming off the bench in a contract year lol maybe next year after he's paid
And lopez will hit 28 footers bruh
Understand this he nay not be #1 on the Knicks but he sure maybe #1 On the MVP list real soon 😉 😂
Got it so, overrated as possible last year, and you knew all along this year. 🤣 you a clown dawg.
would be great if people would be as confident at admitting they were wrong, as much as they are when criticizing

Damn I thought New York treated Patrick Ewing bad. Timberwolves fan is acting like Kat is/was Kwame Brown!
People like this guy that hate on Kat have clearly rarely watched him play. They watch espn highlights and a couple of games a year and think they are experts. 🤦♂️
If kat keeps rebounding like this thibs will keep playing him at the 5 even with mitch back bc the offense out weighs his defensive liabilities.
Very few if any analysts had this trade being able to elevate knicks to a solid top four seed in east. Kat is a bonafide all star all nba talent. Jalen will not adjust to this well as season progresses. But he makes them legit contender in east. I did not see this but randle had to be moved

There are a lot of not very bright Wolves fans.
Getting rid of KAT was a no brainer, Randle isnt working though, they should start Naz
