Karl-Anthony Towns

One of the things that has benefited me in my career is being part of the new age of technology: the ability growing up to get on the Internet at friends' houses and go on YouTube and watch videos of great players.

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.

That's why esports is so awesome: it's just like professional sports.

My favorite memory of Kevin Garnett is not a memory - it's more of the experience I had with him for a year, just enjoying that moment of being his teammate, conversing with him every single day, learning from him every single day.

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.

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.

Anytime someone expects something from me, I expect about five times more from myself.

I've been a dedicated 'NBA 2K' fan since I was young, and being selected as the face of 'MyNBA2K17' is an incredible milestone this early in my career.

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.

It's great for people who like the teamwork and that also like the commando style, and that's why I think 'Call of Duty' is so successful.

Winning's always fun.

We always have great practices, and the competition is high, and the intensity is high; it's just about doing that now in a game and sustaining it for 48 minutes.
