In a recent conversation with Carmelo Anthony, rapper Fat Joe shared a surprising opinion about Karl-Anthony Towns. Joe believes that KAT is the best offensive big man in the NBA, surpassing even legendary centers. He attributed KAT’s uniqueness to his unpredictability, making him nearly impossible to guard.

Fat Joe’s praise for KAT didn’t stop there, as he also stated that the New York Knicks star is the most difficult big man to defend in the league. He even went as far as to say that Nikola Jokic, while more accomplished, isn’t better than KAT offensively. Fat Joe’s bold claims have sparked debate among NBA fans, with some agreeing with his assessment and others disagreeing.

Despite the Knicks’ recent loss to the Atlanta Hawks in the NBA Cup quarterfinals, the Brunson-KAT duo continued to impress, with both players logging over 30 minutes and putting up impressive numbers.
