Karl-Anthony Towns

“My family brings me great energy.”

“It's amazing what video games have obviously done for not only the industry and for entertainment but for the world and social interactions.”

“We put pressure on ourselves because we want to be so great; we want to be the best team possible that we can be.”

“I have a huge admiration for fans in China. I think they're some of the greatest basketball fans in the world. I think they're passionate and love the game, almost second to none.”

“I think the biggest thing with me is that I just pride myself on being the best human being I can be.”

“I just feel that if you're the best human being, God will bless you with success.”

“I'm in the search for the perfect game.”

“I love Minnesota. The cold is fine with me, being from New Jersey.”

“It's hard to get me to even say I played good. That's just in me. I'm just never satisfied. A lot of my friends get annoyed by it.”

“It's great for people who like the teamwork and that also like the commando style, and that's why I think 'Call of Duty' is so successful.”

“When you're in part of the same draft class, you always have a certain connection that not many other people can have with each other.”

“If we play defense the way we're supposed to and we play defense the way we do here in practice, we should have no problems against most of the teams in the league, and other teams, it'll be a great fight.”

“I only worry about what I can control.”

“Especially when you're a leader, you have to do the things that aren't the popular choice. But that's fine, you have to be able to make those decisions, without a doubt.”

“The personal impact KG has had on me is life-changing. He's been the most important piece to my career in the NBA and one of the best friendships I have in my life. So I'm always blessed to say that he's my brother. We bonded so well because of how passionate and emotional we both are.”

“It doesn't matter how successful or how unsuccessful a team is. It can all change with one pick.”

“All those teams I was on that were successful were the ones that everyone had love for each other and had fun. Things that seem minuscule - joking around, laughing, conversing, all those things that seem childish - that is what builds camaraderie.”

“I work on my body tremendously to be able to withstand whatever is thrown my way.”

“We expect nothing but greatness from ourselves.”

“I've never felt like I've had a good game.”
