The All-Star Weekend has started, and it is all smiles around for NBA fans. This weekend surely marks as one of the most exciting events in the NBA. The fans get to see their favorite players battle it out in various competitions.

Alongside the actual All-Star Game, the All-Star Weekend also consists of a three-point competition and a slam dunk contest. The three-point contest was a shock this year, where Karl-Anthony Towns stole the win. However, the list of competitors was packed with amazing three-point shooters such as Trae Young, Fred VanVleet and Zach LaVine. It was a shocking sight to see a Center-Forward win the three-point contest against seasoned three-point shooters.

All the odds were against Karl-Anthony. In a report by Mike Barner, he gave KAT the lowest odds of all. He chose Patty Mills and Fred VanVleet as co-favorites to win the event. However, his odds were proven wrong by KAT’s work ethic and bizarre shooting ability.

KAT was extremely happy after the event. Moreover, he had an ‘I told you so moment’ with Shaquille O’Neal once the event was over. KAT looked at Shaq from the court and proceeded to say “I told you, Shaq! Vegas got the odds wrong.” Shaquille O’Neal can be seen appreciating KAT in the video. Respect between two great players.

When Did NBA Legend Michael Jordan First Feature in a Video Game?

Karl-Anthony Towns current season

Karl-Anthony Towns is one of the best players on the roster of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Although he is just 26 years old, he possesses a ton of experience in the sport. And it is due to this experience that he is currently one of the major contributors for his franchise.

He is currently averaging 24.4 points, 9.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game. These are exceptional numbers from someone who has been in the league for just 6 years. The Timberwolves are currently number 7 in the Western Conference with a record of 31-28. All thanks to KAT.
