Karl-Anthony Towns hilariously puzzled by Josh Hart's analytics analogy
Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart were all jokes after taking a 2-0 lead over the Cavaliers.
It's all smiles for the New York Knicks right now. While the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder are locked in a Conference Finals for the ages out west, the Knicks are off to a 2-0 lead against the increasingly despondent Cleveland Cavaliers. Kenny Atkinson's refusal to acknowledge or adjust to James Harden's horrendous defense should make it a quick series.
So with the pressure off New York, Josh Hart decided to keep it light in his postgame presser, specifically about analytics. He certainly deserved to crack a joke or two after his 26-point, seven-assist night. "I'm never a huge analytics guy," Hart said .
"At a certain point they're a lamp post to a drunk person. You can lean on 'em, but it won't get you home. " The peculiar analogy had the media laughing while it flummoxed Karl-Anthony Towns, who sat next to Hart.
Towns took his sunglasses off, gathered himself and had to make sure they stayed on the topic for a moment. The big man and Hart then jabbed each other over their college experiences in some friendly teammate banter. Karl-Anthony Towns is absolutely fascinated by Josh Hart's analytics analogy, which Hart says came from his time at Villanova: KAT: "I was with Cal, so I ain't hear that" Hart: "You ain't even go to college" š https://t.
