From Stefan Bondy:
For the first time in nearly a half-century, the Knicks have two All-Star starters.
Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns were both named on the Eastern Conference squad for the Feb. 16 game in San Francisco, the NBA announced.
The other East starters are predictably and deservedly Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jayson Tatum and Donovan Mitchell. The West starters are Nikola Jokic, Steph Curry, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, LeBron James and Kevin Durant.
Wow, how fucking cool is that? Congrats to Brunson and KAT!
Amusingly, it’s only been 12 years since the Knicks last had an All-Star center, as Tyson Chandler made it in 2013.
