Former UK standout Karl-Anthony Towns was the leading scorer in the NBA All-Star Game with 50 points. One of his West teammates was LeBron James, perhaps the greatest player of all time.
“Like I told him on the court, GOAT. He’s one of those guys that probably will never come again,” Towns said. “The talent, his ability to overcome all adversity and his ability to exceed people’s expectations.
“Just tremendous respect for LeBron, tremendous respect for what he’s done and the impact he’s had on the game of basketball.”
Towns seldom is at a loss for words but struggled to describe exactly what playing with James meant to him.
“I’m just … it’s crazy. I’m just blessed to be with .. I have no kids, but I tell my niece and my nephew that they get to see their uncle playing with LeBron James, it’s a really cool experience for those children to have those childhood memories,” Towns said.
