When I was on the chubbier side, I thought that whatever God and whatever my body told me to be at that time, that's what it was. I'd say I grew more of an understanding about my body probably around my senior year in high school. I understood my body physically as an athlete.

It doesn't matter to me where I play. It matters what you do at the place you play at.

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.

I always have a motto: if it's going in-and-out one night, then the next opponent should be worried.

You've gotta play a head game; especially blocking shots, you've gotta make it hard. You're playing against the best of the best: they're not gonna go straight to the basket, do a layup. You've gotta lure them into some shots.

I work hard on my game.

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.

You never think that you're going to be in the NBA but be an All-Star as well.

Karl-Anthony Towns

I live my life very Amish-like. Other than video games, I don't think I have a reason for electronics. It's a life that I've always loved.

Karl-Anthony Towns

My rookie year was so much easier, and it was so much shorter than most rookies due to the fact that I had KG. That changes everything. I was blessed to have the opportunity to play with KG - not only learn but play with KG. Not many people in the NBA are able to say that.

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.

I remember being back in Knollwood Middle School back in Piscataway. I remember waking up Saturday mornings playing with my age group and the age group above me.

It's an honor to be named Rookie of the Year by the media.

Karl-Anthony Towns

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.
