Karl-Anthony Towns was just a bit intimidated one of the first times he hung out with Andrew Wiggins.
The two were still in high school, long before their fates intertwined as the young cornerstones of the Timberwolves franchise. At this event, a Nike Hoops Summit, Towns said Wiggins had the biggest reputation in the gym.
"Who would've thought years later we'd be teammates, seeing each other on a daily basis?" Towns said.
It will continue like that for at least the next five years with Wiggins signed through the 2022-23 season on a maximum contract that pays him nearly $150 million and Towns just signing a five-year max extension that will kick in next season worth up to $190 million.
