Come Quote by Karl-Anthony Towns

“If you want to be great, there are so many talented players who have come in and out the league. But only a few of them are remembered as being great. It's because they were willing to say they don't know. And I'm willing to say that I don't know everything.” quote by Karl-Anthony Towns
