On Tuesday night, it was announced that Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns
made his first All-Star game.
It’s a well-deserved honor. Through 49 games this season, Towns has averaged 20
points, 12.1 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game while the Wolves are tied for
third in the West. His 41 double doubles lead the league.
While many people predicted Towns would make it, you never know until the
official announcement is made.
While Towns was at a film session, his parents and girlfriend were watching the
TNT live All-Star announcements, waiting for Karl’s name to be called.
Did I cry during this video? No.
Maybe.
Yes.
I wanted to write a long caption explaining how I feel, but my heart is
speechless. I’m humbled and blessed to be representing the @timberwolves in this
year’s All-Star Game! A post shared by Karl-Anthony Towns (@karltowns) on Jan

This is what makes basketball so awesome.
Congrats to the Towns family. We have a feeling this won’t be his last All-Star
announcement.
