Summary

Gio was in the news yesterday for calling Karl-Anthony Towns a ‘loser’. Carl Banks went after Gio for the take. He wasn’t talking about KAT the individual, he was referring to KAT the Knicks player in the playoffs. Gio said Banks is not very good at media and that was evident yesterday. We talked about KAT’s performance in the playoffs and why he was brought in. He had soft moments in big games where they should have gotten more out of him.
