Karl-Anthony Towns: 'No better time to be a Minnesotan'

Timberwolves big-man Karl-Anthony Towns invited his Twitter followers to engage with him Thursday night in what he termed a “quick, impromptu” question and answer session. Towns ended up sticking around for more than hour and impressively responded to more than 100 tweets.

That’s dedication, folks.

Along the way, we got another glimpse into the personality of a guy who is clearly well on his way to being a beloved Minnesota athlete. He said he expects the Wolves to make the playoffs, expressed encouragement for Teddy Bridgewater even dabbled in some poetic turns of phrase.

Here are some of the highlights:
