Karl-Anthony Towns is making a name for himself as a Minnesota Timberwolves rookie. But you probably didn’t know that when he was a New Jersey high school student, he was known as Karl Towns.

Someone on Reddit posted a video of Towns interviewing his idol Kevin Durant for MSG Varsity in Philadelphia. It’s pretty mind-blowing to see a young Towns who was quite mature for a high school freshman.

Quite impressive. And wouldn’t it be funny to see a re-enactment of that interview now?
