Case in point: During an appearance on the Jumbotron at Yankee Stadium over the weekend, Towns was greeted with a thunderous reception, as fans of both the New York Yankees and New York Mets joined forces to applaud their center after a big playoff win.

New York City can be an unforgiving sports market, but New York Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns is learning firsthand there's also nothing like it when times are good.

The Knicks fan shown on Towns’ shirt went viral in 2021 after the Knicks won their season opener over the Celtics in double overtime. He put his fingers in an L shape on his forehead and danced after saying “f–k Boston” in a wild scene outside of Madison Square Garden.
