Spoiler alert: Hindi sila Prima Donnas.
When Kiefer Ravena stepped on the court with Karl Anthony-Towns, he could feel the Dominican Republic star’s aura emanate from his body.
It was like seeing Son Goku go Super Saiyan. And like Goku, KAT also wreaked havoc on Gilas Pilipinas on the way to a cardiac 87-81 win at the Philippine Arena.
“Si KAT parang feeling ko bigger than life siya pagdating sa basketball court. You’d feel his aura,” said Ravena on the Basketbros podcast.
“He’s a legit NBA player. Same goes with (Jordan Clarkson). Iba ‘yung vibe yung napo-project nila.”
He wasn’t simply being starstruck.
More than the 26-point and 10-rebound showing against the home team, Towns showed Ravena things one doesn’t always see from a player of his caliber.
