The NBA All-Star may have missed its protagonist Stephen Curry, who was more occupied with his own battle with Sabrina Ionescu in a 3-point challenge. Between the two, the regular 3-point contest was certainly packed with some superstars. But unlike any big event, there was yet another controversy with regard to the event; this time Karl-Anthony Towns was pointed as the culprit.
During the 3-point contest, photos of the player have gone viral who was seen stepping on the line while shooting. As per the rule and to make a successful 3-point, you have to be away from the line. And in this case, fans have pointed out that the NBA star has cheated in the event.
The event had some of the best shooters in the game the likes of Damian Lillard from the Milwaukee Bucks, Donovan Mitchell from the Cleveland Cavaliers, Karl-Anthony Towns from the Minnesota Timberwolves, Trae Young from Atlant Hawks, and many more. But it was new “Big Game Dame” Damian Lillard who took home the trophy, winning it the back-to-back with a score of 26 points after a close contest with Trae Young.
Nevertheless, the media attention was swiftly diverted towards Karl-Anthony Towns, which has started a buzz on the internet. And with fans all over the world witnessing the proofs in the form of pictures and clips, they couldn’t help but give their reactions to it.
