Karl-Anthony Towns may have enjoyed a record-setting campaign with the Minnesota Timberwolves, but that still wasn't enough to earn him a spot on one of the three All-NBA teams.
The 21-year-old center didn't hide his disappointment regarding the apparent snub, sharing his displeasure on social media shortly after the announcement.
