“Well, I remember it as though it were a dunk ago.”

Said Karl the KAT as he reeled back to clear out whatever shortened swagger wrestled their way onto his mighty court. Many a fat rookie stat met its demise while staring point-blank down the barrel of this awesome dunking machine. Truly a wonder of nature this burgeoned predator. Karl the KAT had many camper to quell but it was a rare occasion such as this that he did.

“Karl the KAT is my name. And I say unto thee:”

Karl-Anthony Towns very much dunked on those poor children, and we should keep their families in our thoughts. They were so young.

On the other hand, Karl-Anthony Towns dunked on those poor children, and it was awesome. Let’s think about that instead.

It’s always a curiosity which of the campers stand up to make a meek contest in these videos. In this case, the little guy playing defense did leave his feet a little, but he had about zero impact on Karl the KAT’s momentum as he euro-stepped from the three-point line. There was almost a bit of pity with the lack of force KAT threw the dunk down. He didn’t want to hurt the kid physically, only mentally, and I think that’s the kind of on-court compassion we all watch basketball for.

Next: Dirk tried to bicycle kick. It failed.

I remember back in the 80s when every player on the court were best friends. The Glad Joy Pistons shook hands with their opponents after every basket, and Bill Laimbeer once stopped play to rescue a kitten from a tree. In that regard, KAT is a throwback, and I think that’s nice.
