The Knicks and Kings faced one another on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.
Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns often goes viral on social media for various reasons, and it's happened again for doing something we have seen him do several times before.
What hilarious thing did Karl-Anthony Towns go viral for again?
In the past, Towns has had unfortunate pictures taken of him during games when, on offense, he tries to post up opposing players.
Scour online, and you'll find pictures and memes of Towns trying to back down a player like DeMarcus Cousins, who has a straight face while Towns struggles to get by his defender.

— NBACentral (@TheDunkCentral) January 28, 2026Towns had Russell Westbrook guarding him at one point, so, as a center would do when a smaller player is guarding them, they call for the ball on a post-up.
Despite Towns' clear height advantage, he struggled to move Westbrook, who was clearly unbothered on defense, as Towns did his best to move past Westbrook.
Unfortunately for Towns, he turned the ball over despite his efforts, which led social media to do what they tend to do, which was react to the video and compare it to past failed post-ups from Towns.
