An extremely special episode of YM3 this week with Karl-Anthony Towns of the New York Knicks and legendary actor and director Ben Stiller! KAT and Ben discuss so much Knicks basketball (Ben, of course, is a Knicks superfan), including the backstory of when KAT was traded from the Minnesota Timberwolves last year, and reminiscing about last year’s playoff run against the Detroit Pistons, Boston Celtics, and Indiana Pacers. KAT shares why it’s so special to him to play on the Knicks and play in Madison Square Garden, as well as how he was dedicated and developed his basketball talent from a young age. They also dive deep into Ben’s career as Ben shares how he initially didn’t want to be involved in comedy, the challenges and thrills of now branching out of comedy, how he always wanted to direct, and, of course, ‘Severance.’ Let’s go! 00:00 Intro 1:03 KAT in the offseason & Thibs minutes 4:23 Analogy between bench players and role actors 6:13 KG's advice to KAT 8:45 Trajectory of KAT & Ben's careers 18:05 KAT on getting traded to the Knicks 29:08 The Knicks playoffs run last year 36:12 Year two of the Knicks for KAT, playing in MSG 38:46 KAT on Anthony Edwards 40:59 KAT's journey from a young age in basketball 53:02 Ben's journey from a young age in film and entertainment 58:30 Locker rooms vs film sets 1:02:10 KAT's mindset in-game 1:07:46 KAT's routine 1:10:13 Thoughts on the upcoming season Don’t miss out on all the action this week at DraftKings!
