"Karl Anthony Towns is Nikola Jokic's father": Hoops fans hail KAT as Knicks star continues dominance over 3xMVP

Karl-Anthony Towns delivered a dominant performance against reigning MVP Nikola Jokic as the New York Knicks cruised to a commanding 145-118 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Monday. Towns showcased his all-around brilliance, making a significant impact on both ends of the floor while outplaying the three-time MVP.

Towns has consistently been one of the few players to find success against Jokic and Monday’s performance was no exception. The former Minnesota Timberwolves star has a proven track record against the Serbian superstar, including an impressive showing in last season’s playoffs when he helped the Timberwolves secure a hard-fought 4-3 series win over the Nuggets.

Social media erupted with praise for Towns after his latest masterclass, with fans applauding the 7-foot center for outshining Jokic once again.

"Karl Anthony Towns is Nikola Jokic's father," a fan commented.

"Tonight was the Most IMPRESSIVE win this season for the Knicks. Once again Towns outplayed Jokic and Big Body Brunson with casual double double!!! But that Damn OG with that MF 40 piece Spicy. He’s been the Knicks most consistent player on both ends of the floor this season," said former NBA champion Kendrick Perkins.

"Ya can say whatever tf you want but I’m taking Karl Anthony Towns over Nikola Jokic. I said what I said," commented another user.

"While you’re watching the Harbowl, Karl Anthony Towns is outplaying the Joker sun up to sun down!! KAT out dueling Jokic at his place. Let that sink in on a Monday," said another.

"Towns has cooked Jokić in all facets of the game tonight. Thankfully he is in the eastern conference now," said a fan.

"Jokic got outplayed by Towns very badly but we won‘t hear a thing about it from the media, they‘d rather show his full court miss against the lakers (which is not even a highlight)," another user commented.
