Karl-Anthony Towns has reached a conference final before Joel Embiid

With tonight’s win against the reigning champion Denver Nuggets, KAT, a player often compared to Embiid ever since 2018, and a player considered soft by many has now reached the conference finals before he ever has.

The top 5 big men (Jokic, Giannis, AD, Embiid, and KAT) have all achieved this feat… except Embiid. So while Embiid misses games in Denver, Colorado—big KAT shows out.

Playoff fraud?!
