Karl-Anthony Towns is looking like a completely different athlete at the moment. After his return to the team against the New York Knicks, KAT displayed some exquisite form to help his team win the game. Anthony Towns dropped 31 points and 21 rebounds, propelling the Knicks to a 119-103 victory. And remember, they were without their top scorer, Jalen Brunson. While the Knicks’ fans are over the moon having registered their ninth straight victory, a former NBA champion has something to say about Karl-Anthony Towns’ recent performance.
Kendrick Perkins won the NBA back in 2008. Thus, he does know a thing or two about the championship mentality. Fortunately for the Knicks’ fans, the dawn of the New Year has apparently changed KAT’s game. “New York definitely has unlocked a different KAT. He’s been on some other shit since he arrived in the City,” Perkins stated, impressed by his recent play.

He also enjoys a healthy average of 3.3 assists and 13.7 rebounds per game. Meanwhile, Kendrick Perkins was not the only one heaping praises on Karl-Anthony Towns.
