The partnership between D’Angelo Russell and Karl-Anthony Towns has been a long time coming βΒ the two young stars are friends, and have seemed destined to pair up for a while. As Towns himself says in the video below, “Spoke it into existence for years … the world gave us energy back.”
The two are now teammates, after a blockbuster deal which sent Russell to the Timberwolves and Andrew Wiggins and assets back to the Golden State Warriors.
Russell flew to Minnesota this week after the deal was done, and Towns wasn’t going to miss the opportunity to greet his new teammate. He was on the runway when Russell landed, with a new Timberwolves jersey … and a jacket. It gets cold in Minnesota! It’s a very thoughtful gift!

The coolest part of the video, however, is the clear bond between the two … and how excited Russell clearly is to be there.
