'He’s Been Phenomenal For Us' – New York Knicks Star on Karl-Anthony Towns’ Impact

His co-star, Jalen Brunson, was recently interviewed by D.J. Siddiqi of GamesHub. During their talk, Brunson was asked about KAT’s impact on the New York Knicks, which helped them have a winning record in the East.

“He’s been phenomenal for us, in the locker room has been great,” Brunson said. “On the court, he’s been great. The things that he’s been able to do in a short period of time being a Knick has been amazing. Having him as a teammate has been really fun. I think that gets overlooked how good of a teammate he is.

“Obviously, he’s a great player and what he does on the court. But the teammate he is and what he brings to the locker room for us is special. So I’m really happy to have him.”

Towns is ‘his own person’ according to the New York Knicks star

It’s easy to make comparisons all the time. Kobe Bryant was compared to Michael Jordan for most of his career. Due to their similar approaches to the rock, Kyrie Irving and former NBA player Allen Iverson are being compared.

But for the New York Knicks big man, Brunson thinks that there isn’t an easy comparison for him. In his interview with Siddiqi, the two-time All-Star described how KAT is different from other players and how he is difficult to compare.

“Don’t think you can compare him,” the star guard said. “He shoots the ball so effortlessly, and he can make plays. He has great touch around the rim, so he’s pretty much his own person. He picks different games of styles of basketball, and kind of makes it into his own.”

Although there have been a few shooting big men recently, no one does it like Towns. He combines finesse outside the 3-point arc and his tenacity when scoring inside the paint.
