New York Knicks big man Karl-Anthony Towns has already etched his name alongside some of the franchise's all-time greats.

When the New York Knicks traded away two fan favorites this offseason for All- NBA center Karl-Anthony Towns, not everyone in the community was pleased with the move. At the time, the combination of Donte DiVincenzo and Julius Randle was seen as a better overall collection than the Minnesota superstar.

Karl-Anthony Towns is ostensibly excited about Knicks rookie center Ariel Hukporti's contributions and continued development.

Even with Josh Hart added to the street-clothes crew with a knee injury, they kicked off their final stretch of 28 regular-season games by pulling out a gritty, 113-111, overtime decision.
