Karl-Anthony Towns has had a strong first season with the Knicks, but he rubbed some New York fans the wrong way Wednesday night. The veteran center is very proud of his northern New Jersey roots, which gives him a special connection with his new fanbase.

Anthony Towns showcased his fandom Wednesday night as the New York Knicks took on the 76ers. Teammate Jalen Brunson supported the decision – although Towns appeared to change his mind. Towns showed up to the Wells Fargo Center in a Kelly green Eagles sweater ahead of the team’s NFL Divisional Round matchup against the Los Angeles Rams this weekend.
