Karl-anthony Towns talking to the post about his life as a knick

Oakland, California-Karl-Anthony Towns want you to decide if this has been his best NBA season.

There is an argument to be made as the 29-year-old prepares for his first All-Star start on Sunday while sending a career best in rebounds and 3-point percentage.

Cities just recognize that he is different from earlier in his career.

And in this KNICKS system with all-star teammate Jalen Brunson, this difference in cities has translated into NBAS No. 2 overgrowth and the franchise’s most victories before the All-Star break since 1973.

“I don’t know if I’m such a tall flyer as my second or third year,” Towns said in an interview with The Post. “But I certainly play more with my speed this year than I did in other years.”

Like the game slows down?

“I just got a better feeling,” Towns said. “Experience learns a lot.”

Experience points were gathered in abundance in the last three-plus months, with cities being surprised by a trade from the only pro-franchise he had ever known on the threshold of training camp.

There were questions hovering over the move, doubts about restructuring a KNICK’s list that appeared before trade was on an encouraging track.

But the care is better than imagined. Cities that come out consecutive matches of 40 or more points score and lighten. He grabs rebounds.

He removes these “he is too soft” criticism while dominating the defensive glass and plays through injuries.

“Of course you always want better. So never satisfied, ”Towns said. “But I’m just glad I was able to implement myself in the team and that it resulted in winning. In guys, the statistics told me about having the best record to enter the All-Star break since (the franchise’s last championship season in 1973). Hopefully the story coincides with it and brings a ring with it. ”

Breaking a championship drought of over 50 years still feels like a long shot, at least with Celtics, still roaming the eastern conference.

New York’s defense requires improvement, and two blowout defeats to Boston did not offer a potential playoff series.

Cities ready for its fifth All-Star appearance did not over-analyze these losses during the regular season.

There are still two more head-to-heads against Celtics, in February and April.

“When I look back on these games, they were ugly like hell,” Towns said. “And when I look against the future, I pray they are not so ugly.”

The defense’s easiest way to improve is the addition of Mitchell Robinson, which is close to returning from an expanded ankle surgery recovery.

Cities that were part of Defense No. 1 in Minnesota last season are convinced that Knicks will hit another level.

“It’s a level I’ve seen and done before in Minnesota, so I think we have the pieces and talent to do it,” he said.

From court, Towns’ Fit ​​has also been trouble -free. This part was more assumed for a product of Central Jersey.

His grandmother can now participate in his home matches. His father remains obliged to travel to each away competition, a long-lasting tradition of Karl Sr., who flies commercial while touring the NBA cities to see his son.

“He has certainly committed to it. I’m just blessed to have a father who loves his son so much, ”Towns said. “I know a lot of people, especially people in my friend groups and things, they didn’t have that luxury. So to have a father who is engaged in his son, loves his son enough to take these trips and cheer me on in all my efforts, I don’t take it easily. Because I have friends and employees who really want them to have the opportunity that I am very lucky every day to have. “

Cities are also still appreciating the NYC staple in a physical tabloid newspaper that recently posing with a back in the New York post in a photo sent by his girlfriend, Jordyn Woods.

“My dad was like ‘Oh, you’re in the New York Post,’ and I’m like, is anyone getting the newspaper for this?” Said cities. “I like hardkopiers more than the web version.”

He also likes to be teammates with Brunson, whom Towns is exposed to as a captain since the arrival of the fantastic trade.

“I didn’t come over to be a distraction or disturb the flow or be on an ego trip or something. It’s about the team. And I came to reinforce them and reinforce Cap, ”Towns said. “You can’t win a championship of yourself. You need everyone. And I’m just glad we have a team full of guys who are willing to sacrifice and look at the big picture and do what it takes to bring the city win every single night and hopefully result in a chip . “
