Love this quote from Towns...
Towns, understandably emotional following the death of Timberwolves president and coach Flip Saunders earlier this week, let it all out. He credited Saunders as the Timberwolves’ “sixth man on the floor” during the decisive final play, and he recounted time spent in his hotel bathroom’s shower on Wednesday afternoon, reflecting on his path to the league.
“I was so elated to be out there,” he said. “It was just awesome to see my NBA dream come true. … I just sat there for 20 minutes with water hitting me, and I’m just thinking about how much work I’ve put into this moment. Just to be here wearing this jersey, to be part of this fraternity. It wasn’t tears coming down or anything. I was just smiling. I just never thought that I could find a blueprint to make it to…this spot in life. It seems like the blueprint found me.”
