- Thank you everyone for the prayers, well wishes, and condolences during this time. I also want to give a double thank you to all the true fans that support me as more than just a basketball player. My love for ya knows no bounds. Stay tuned for all the content coming your way and can’t wait to continue our journey together through this blessing we call life.
love,
KAT
I don’t wanna hear anyone call Kat soft again. He lost his mom and still went out in his community for the injustice his people faced. He’s real af and that takes so much strength
He’s soft

For real
Facts
@@nbanews4132 You wouldn’t say that to his face
Mr. Towns - my son Noah and I had the good fortune of meeting your Mom twice. The first time was your junior year at St. Joseph's. We were watching you play in a tournament and my son was mesmerized...During half time my son approached the bench and waved to you - you waved back! Your Mom saw this and said "would you like to take a picture with my son Karl?". My son just nodded his head. As soon as the game ended and you collected your MVP trophy - your Mom asked for you to come over and you did so immediately. You knelt down and spoke with my son and took a picture which he cherishes. You could see how proud she was of you then. You only made her prouder as you accomplished more first at Kentucky and then Minnesota. We are very sorry for your loss. May her memory be a blessing.
Much love bro, huge fan stay blessed 🙏❤️
RIP to his mom

A man is never too old to cry, that has no age limit. Who says grown men don't cry? Have the upmost respect for KAT. Wish u and your family the best and my condolences go out to you and your family. Go make your mom proud kid!
Men who cry are real human beings
For real man. "men dont cry" is the dumbest thing told ever. Who said men dont have feelings
There is nothing wrong for a man to cry. Men have emotions and feelings just like women. They are human beings. Real men cry. Period!!! May his mother rest in God’s paradise with the angels forever.
❤️🙏🏾✝️
Whoever made up “men don’t cry”is just unbelievable.Men also have feelings and they can cry if they want to.
The fact that he can even talk about this...very strong man
Exactly what I was thinking. I can be honest enough to say I don't think I would have done this if I were him
hes a scorpio. his feelings are very complex and very deep. he'll be grieving for decades...
Bruh you can’t be serious with this zodiac signs shit

Prayers up man ❤️

Prayers to you and your fam. My condolences.
I’m sorry for your loss!
To anyone reading this who lost someone, stay strong
Thanks :'(
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 🙏🏻 comments like this make me feel better
Thank you
Thank you bruh
Three words come to mind: "bigger than basketball."
No matter how you feel about KAT as a player, this was a god damn tragedy and everyone should support this man through this hardship.
A mothers love is something truly special, they carried us for nine months after all..... Prayers for you and your family KAT.
When he said the hardest thing he had to do was tell his grandmother that his mother, her daughter had passed away I shed tears.
You’re gonna make everyone proud both on and off the court, appreciate you and RIP to a great woman 😔

I remember his mom was ready to fight Embid when they got in a tussle lol. She seemed like a genuinely awesome person and their relationship was obviously a special one. This was tough to watch but an amazing display of strength and courage to open up about it less than a year after it happened. Stay strong, Karl.
Much love bro, huge fan stay blessed 🙏❤️
Bruh I remember that too. She was ready to kill Embid ass. She is such a warrior.
Embid cried when the 76ers lost the Eastern Conference game to the Toronto Raptors when. Kawhi Leonard hit that corner shot. I thought about him when people mentioned how KAT cried. Men cry!
Imagine hating this man/calling him soft.....
Well he thinks he’s a guard and rarely bangs down low !! I don’t no if he soft but he would rather shoot 3s all day instead of being down on the block . He’s not a Anthony Davis type of big in my opinion he’s a center
@@kingtut2421 he is top 10 in post ups per game buddy. You clearly don't watch him play
@@kingtut2421 he doesn’t have to do that when ur the best shooting big in the league
KAT better than Embiid and has the skillset and potential to surpass AD. He can flat out shoot better than AD.
@@kingtut2421 Yeah, this guy clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. KAT's one of the best at scoring in the block and is among the league leaders in post ups... while being double teamed constantly as soon as he touches the ball. He's opting to shoot more threes because of the offensive scheme of the team and because him spacing the floor opens up driving lanes for others.
KAT, my mom just died over a month ago from covid-19. I'm 26. It's been incredibly brutal, but seeing your story and hearing your talk about it brings me hope that I might be able to get through this soon. I'm thinking of you often, and wishing you the best always.
Stay strong bro.
❤
stay strong buddy I only wish u the best 🙌🏽
Rip
I want the same for you both 🙏🏾
I’m so sorry KAT 🙏🏼😞

My mother passed away from brain cancer in 2007. I'll never forget her mother's roar of agony while the casket was being lowered into the ground.. it pierced everyone's heart and the tears fell from each person's face simultaneously.. I know the pain brother. Truth be told, we never truly heal from it. We just learn how to cope with it and try our bests to make them proud while we're here. So when we meet again we don't have to hang our heads. I'll keep your family in my prayers. God gained another angel that faithful day. 🕊
Beautiful ✊🕊
🤍🤍🤍🤍♥️
RIP
Prayers up
I shed tears definitely on this one. Lost my mom at 25 and I’m 32 the feeling and pain never goes away. All you have is memories and questions on why it had to happen the way it did. Stay strong KAT you will have you bad days but thru time it gets better

He honestly is the best center but he’s wit Minnesota so he doesn’t get as recognized but now they looking good (ima wolves fan for life btw)

Been a horrible year, going to be a weird Thanksgivi/Xmas without them.
But very blessed for the ones here with us, I miss her.
Hope you can play this upcoming season with a stable mindset my dude.

People may call KAT soft, but in reality he has so much strength. Losing 7 of your family members especially your own mother of course is very hard and yet he has continued to do what he loves. He’s a real one
UR MY FAVORITE NBA CENTER RIGHT NOW BRO I MET U AT A T-WOLVES GAME I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT MOMENT MAN RIP KATS MOM
He’s my favourite Center too!!
He’s so intelligent and I love his connection with his mom. That’s why I show my son love and affection every day.
KAT you are my hero, I play basketball because of you, May your mother rest in peace, and as a 12 year I look up too you as a player on the court, and off. Thank you...

I’m still heartbroken for KAT. 2020 has been horrible. So many tragic stories. Stay strong No. 32
I think people forget that NBA players are humans first then basketball players second. Much love and prayer to you KAT, take care of yourself first and then worry about basketball.
Karl is one of the strongest people there is. The narrative that he is soft has to go. The bond between Karl and his mother was special, you can just tell.
WOW. What a horrible year. Prayers up 🙏
It started only cause he is a bad defender. He might be strong off the court, but on the court he is soft, on defense
@@trollforfunsodonttakemeser2374 lmao, go look at the stats kid.
@@nunyabizz0000 read his name
I lost my mom too this year. It’s been tuff for all of us
😔😔
Prayers up to u
Love you KAT. I wish you the best, and I am deeply sorry about your Mother.
Nah, this man isn't soft at all. Having to make the decision to pull the plug on your own MOTHER has to be one of the scariest/toughest things a human being could possibly do. I applaud him, and hope his personal journey is filled with growth and some form of happiness
Karl, in these dark times, we must all, as a community, stay strong, we all lost something to the virus, some lost their freedom because of the lockdown, some lost their jobs, and unfortunatly, too many people lost a brother, a sister, a father, or a mother.
This year is indeed, the toughest yet in our existance, but we will rise again, we need to stay strong, and focus on building our futur, together.
May your dear mother rest in piece, may you carry on her legacy, you have so much to accomplish big fella. Love from France.
I’m 100% sure the people saying he is “soft” wouldn’t say it in his face
@Millian Macalintal chill out . A real man is someone who doesn’t care about what others say and expresses his emotions. How rude and disrespectful Of you to call him a baby when his mom who was a big figure in his life died. And overdyle is right. You definitely wouldn’t say that to a 6,11 248 pound muscular nba center. Sit down and go be toxic somewhere else
@@aron1864 he prolly can't even afford to meet him 😂
@Millian Macalintal thats true he hasn't had a good season I basketball in yearsss and he got his ass beat by Joel Embidd
@@dmvtevo :/ tbh KAT had no help while Ben Simmons clocked him with a left hook......
@@aron1864 had him in that lock and not even his teammates helped and they call each other a family
You’re going to make everyone proud KAT
Rest in Power to your beautiful mom Kat, stay bless.
I remember seeing your mom at Kentucky games, and she was also so happy and proud of you. Prayers for you and all of your family. Kentucky loves you!
KAT is a strong ass human being. This man went through all this and will keep grinding to make his mom happy
All the French Wolves community wish you to live your best life starting today , big fella
KAT you're not alone... You got all the Dominican community with you.... All the love from the island 🇩🇴❤️💯
I lost my dad 2 months ago. A similar situation that I was the decision maker to pull the plug. It was only my 15 year old sister and I with him when he took his last breath. It is definitely day by day but I know my dad and your mom are with us right now. Thank you KAT for telling you and your mothers story. It helps me as well as many other who’ve lost a parent.
Be strong my g👏🏽
I've watched this a couple times already. It's difficult. Know that everyone is pulling for you, KAT.
One of the strongest dudes I know 🙏🏽
I know how you feel KAT I lost my mom at 8 years old and I found her on the ground in her room and I’m 20 now it still hurts I wished I could’ve grown up with her so I can have a better life and understanding of life it’s hard bro💔but you gotta stay strong for her love it’s all through love..❤️💯
By the thumbnail I can tell his gon be though to watch. We love you Karl ❤️
Man i hear and feel the pain and sadness in his voice... :(
Karl Anthony Towns you’re the best guy in the NBA player wise- and as an overall person may your wonderful beautiful mother rest in piece and may she watch over you as you make her proud. 🙏🏽🕊
Rest in Peace, Jacqueline Cruz.
I just want Karl to know that this story really touched me. I've lost my Grandfather this year to cancer and it has just been the worst year of my life too. Prayers to the Towns family and to everybody going through hard times right now. Never forget that you are not alone in this world and your family and friends always got your back.🙏
I look at you different now man I look at you like a strong soul. She’s watching you over heaven man keep up the work🙏🏽🔥
She’s in Heaven wishing greatness upon you brother. Keep making her proud 👏
Can’t wait until you can get back on the court! You have all of our support!!
The fact that he could talk about his mother and show his emotions... that’s truly called bravery. She is certainly proud of you!
I couldn’t control my tears. Love to you and your family ❤️
I went through the loss of my Mom and had to make that tough choice, 4 years ago, the loss still feels fresh like it just happened, my heart is with you
Wow I didn't know you went thru this. We have something in common. My better half passed on due to complications from covid 4 years ago, so I feel you. Let me introduce myself. I'm Jack from the Philippines, who is a huge NY Knick fan. 2 days ago you got traded to the Knicks for Julius Randle and Donte Divincenzo, both who I'm a big fan of. Like many others I was stunned and was totally shocked. So I said to myself as I have no choice but to accept and hope for the best. Not because I didn't like you, I don't know a thing about you. All I knew was you were a good shooter and not so good of a defender. So what I did was I watched videos of you so I can get to know you. What I've learned was you are not so bad of defender like everyone says. Another thing I've learned which i really love is I know why Minnesota loves you. Your a down to earth kinda of a guy, not like the rest of them. I'm going to root for you from now on! I heard you were a Knick fan coz you grew up in Jersey. Knick fans can be hard but my advice for you is give them a 100% and just be true and I know they are going to love you too like I'm beginning to do so! Welcome back home Kat! Let's go Knicks!
I went through the loss of my mother 2 years ago and 2 months before starting my Freshman year of college. I truly admire your bravery on being so open. I am with you brother.
anyone that has lost someone recently or someone in general. Keep your head and continue to move forward. If nobody has told you this today, I love you. I care about your well-being and you're an amazing person.
Thank you! God bless you
Dear KAT, The amazing relationship between ur mom and u is really touching and incomparable. I truly believe ur mom will always be with u in ur heart, be strong.
Losing a Mother is one of the toughest thing ever, 2 years ago i lost mine, and everyday is a struggle, but God has been faithful
Prayers man 🙏🏿
Minnesota loves you KAT we’re here for you bro ❤️
This really shows how mentally tough KAT really is not only one of the best centers in the league, also a great person of the court . Best of luck for you in the future KAT
I’m a believer that when your going through hard times there is a reward waiting for you in the long run. It may be unexpected and you may question why but at the end of the day you can’t expect everything to be ok in a day, week, month etc. Like KAT said you just gotta take it day by day🙏🏾
dude you killed me watching this!!!!!!! IM HAPPY you got the time to be with a loving mother.Cant help but wish for you to continue to be the strong man she raised! Stay blessed and hold your head up!!!!! Im pulling for you!
We love you forever Kat it’s deeper then basketball, God had to separate her plan and your plan but they’ll soon align with one another again bro make her proud until then. #JACQULINEFOREVER ❤️❤️
This is just so sad. Stay strong brother
Life is so much more than our professions, our things, our status. We are all human my man and your story really is touching and gripping.
So sorry for your loss. Me and mine will keep praying for you, not just for you in this time but truly for your life to be blessed. Condolences.
KAT- can’t imagine what you’re going through man. Minnesota, but also all ur fans everywhere... all behind you man. You’re the reason I still watch the t wolves man... NGL it’s been hard to be a fan my whole damn life but watching you go HAM, or even just the possibility that you might pop off, makes tuning in always worth it.
God bless you and your family Kat ! You’re strong Dude. Hope all is well much love
One of the Best players in the game to me, he has new love and he is finally getting some respect
Know exactly what he’s feeling when he talks about his mom lost my mom 3 years ago still feels like I can’t breathe thoughts with him and his family literally breaks my heart
You are such a strong man Karl. I deeply respect you for honoring your emotions. To me there’s nothing more masculine than that. Keeping you in prayer🙏🏾
WE LOVE YOU KARL!! WE'RE WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY! ❤️
I cried when I heard about your mom cause it made me think of my mom and me dealing with that one day. She was always your biggest supporter and we all saw it from day 1.
I cried of course watching this his strength and his family’s strength is amazing 🥲 what a tragic lose💔
Heads up man, you dont even know the impact you've had on some younger kids around the world. She's gonna be forever proud of you, stay strong

KAT, we’re so proud of you and your family for showing their true strength through this difficult time. I know Jackie is smiling in heaven looking down at you and the man you have become. You are one of the realest and strongest people there is and we salute you always. You are an inspiration to us everywhere❤️❤️.
I couldn’t even imagine losing a parent, more so multiple members of my family from the same cause in a matter of months. Strength & prayers your way. 🙏🏽
And people wonder why you wasn't yourself early this season. Stay strong king, be the greatest you can be for your family bro. You have all time great potential, your family will be with you thru it all
A good man lost a part of his life sometimes life just isn't fair RIP to your mama man.
RIP Mama Towns. Come on KAT. Rooting for you from Mumbai, India. Love !!
Keeping your head up doesn't stop you from crying.
It is said that life is made of joy but also of sadness that before each new miracle the darkness comes to smother the light but the light always ends up shining. I pray that God's light will shine on your life, your family's and your loved one's lives.
The world says that death is the end but God says it is the beginning.
May God strengthen you in your grieving process.
Rest in peace Mrs. Jacqueline Towns have fun in heaven.
Karl Anthony Town i lost my father 3 years ago. I know the feeling. Trust me bro she will be watching over you. She's proud of her son. R.I.H Ms. Towns.
Brother I lost my dad this year. I lost him four weeks before this whole Covid thing started, and may be about seven or eight weeks before you had lost your mom. I want you know you’ve been one of my favorite athletes from the very start, right when you were out of Kentucky, but nothing will ever beat the compassion and love that came from your mom. I know it hurts, I know you miss them every single day, and I know you wish you were here. But all you can do now is make them proud for what they left behind. I’ promise she’s with you every day. She is so proud of the creation and of the person that she had to leave behind. You inspire me to keep going forward Karl. To keep moving my legacy make them proud. And I pray you never stop. She would never want you to. I know nothing can heal this pain, but know that I love you man, know that you make me feel like I’m not alone. We’ll get through this. I pray for you to have smiles, I pray for you to be well, and I pray that you and I will both get through this in our own right. But one thing that I promise you to know is that you made her proud, you blew her mind and expectations for what you could be. And you continue to every day. Thank you for being an inspiration and a hero to me, someone that I can relate with. I love you KAT, but never as much as your mama did. I promise you continue to with every step that you make brother. I’ve been crying for you and me both this year. Thank you for sharing this and having the bravery to take this step. It’s just another thing she’d be proud of. All love to you big bro, we’re all in it together. Thanks for standing for what you do, and being who you are, that was what she made best ❤️🤘🏼 rooting for you forever, 34
