Karl Anthony Towns says the Knicks will try to win back-to-back championships next season with an improved version of themselves.
“my competitive spirit says, you know, that's what we're planning to do. And now, you know, I know we were always the underdogs in every series. We gotta be ready to always be looked at as the favorites and that's not something we, we like a lot. So we're going to have to go out there and then continue to have that underdog mentality, that mindset, and just, we're going to have to be even a better version of ourselves, even though a lot of y'all say we were one of the best ever ever in the playoffs, we gotta find another level because people are gonna be ready for us this year, and they're not gonna get caught slipping, anymore.”
