Karl-Anthony Towns won the NBA’s Rookie of the Year this season, and is one of the league’s brightest young stars.
This offseason, the Minnesota Timberwolves center is visiting China for the first time with Nike, which is surely the first of what will be many trips for the budding superstar.
He’s been sharing his experiences all over social media, and it’s been a joy to watch.

Particularly on Snapchat, Towns has been showing us all the sights to see in China. He’s clearly having the time of his life after an amazing rookie year. So much so that he’s showing off his euro step all over China.
For The Win’s Alysha Tsuji was able to capture the brilliance that was KAT’s Snapchat:

Towns is having a good time now, but he will learn the fun is just starting. Towns should be in for a long career, and should have the Timberwolves competing with the NBA’s best over the next few years. It certainly helps that the Wolves have a top five pick in this year’s draft as well.
Things have been down for quite some time in Minnesota, but they are pretty darn lucky to have a guy like Towns leading their franchise into the future.
