NBA Star Reacts to Giannis Antetokounmpo's Controversial Comments

Timberwolves star Karl Anthony-Towns joined LA Clippers star Paul George on 'Podcast P'

Minnesota Timberwolves star Karl Anthony-Towns joined LA Clippers star Paul George on the latest episode of Podcast P, which is presented by Wave Sports and Entertainment. Towns discussed a multitude of topics with George, including his perspective on Giannis Antetokounmpo's controversial comments about failure.

"I only say [our season is] a failure because we made these big trades and stuff to succeed in the playoffs, and the fact we didn’t make it out [of the] first round, obviously it's a failure for us because we want to win a championship," Towns said. "We want to have a chance. I think that, you know, [Giannis] is right in what he says in that you never fail. The fact that we went out there and gave it all we had and things didn’t work out doesn’t mean you’re a failure, it just means it wasn’t your year. There’s always going to be 29 teams that it’s not their year. For me, personally, I just had goals that were set. I set at bare minimum for us to make the second round."

It was an interesting answer from Towns, who understands where Giannis is coming from, and applied some of that perspective to how Minnesota's season went this year. Making a big trade to acquire Rudy Gobert, the Timberwolves expected to go much deeper in the playoffs than just the first round.
