A biography for Karl-Anthony Townshasn’t been written yet.
“Growing up, I'd always been told that my biggest weakness was my body and how that was probably going to hold me back from accomplishing my dreams.”
“It's amazing, the things you learn, the experiences you go through, the feeling of being like a rock star that goes with being a University of Kentucky basketball player. Just the ability to feel fame for the first time - that's something Kentucky gives you.”
“I love playing all types of games. I'll play everything, and the best thing is that 'Call of Duty' is dipping their hand in the battle royale genre. Anytime 'Call of Duty' puts their hands on anything, you know it's going to be the highest quality, so I expect nothing less of 'Call of Duty,' and they're delivering.”
“I've got an addiction to this game. An addiction to being perfect.”
“I take what the defense gives me, and I roll with it.”
“I thank God every day that I get a chance to do all these great things in a Timberwolves jersey.”
“If you're versatile, there's no reason a coach can't have you in the game. That's what my dad's philosophy was, so from a young age, he taught me to be a guard first and a big second, though I don't think he had a crystal ball to be able to see what the NBA would become.”
“You never think that you're going to be in the NBA but be an All-Star as well.”
“These guys, just because we're NBA athletes, we're not superhumans.”
“Every time I get to lace up my shoes, I am happy. Every time I see my jersey and I get to put it on, I feel like a kid in the candy store. Every time I get the chance to play, I am going to play.”
“When you're talking to legends, they've already went through this process of playing in the NBA and also living after their career is over. Being able to hear their stories, how they've had success and others have had success to get an idea of what we should be looking to do and know what we need to do is just really helpful.”
“I think the biggest thing is, you have to understand the different rules. There are so many rules that change from college to the NBA. Change of pace is a big thing, also.”
“Playing 'MyNBA2K' and 'NBA2K' is an essential part of my offseason and keeps me grounded during the season with all my travel.”
“I've been blessed that my dad taught me at a young age about versatility and how to not be specialized in one area, so it's made my transition from each step in my career very comfortable because I had the fundamentals and the foundation to do anything the coach needed me to do.”
“Those are the ones you look forward to: going against a great, talented player, someone who's going to be in this league for a long time, who you're going to be seeing for a long time. Get a chance to go out, compete, and just have fun. Those are the fun match-ups.”
“That's why esports is so awesome: it's just like professional sports.”
“Every matchup is very important regardless of who the bigs are, who the guards are.”
“I could care less about statistics. It's all about team success.”
“It's an honor to be named Rookie of the Year by the media.”
“I think people are going to be surprised at how long my legs are compared to my torso, and my arms as well - I am a very lanky fellow.”
