Tom Thibodeau noted last week the tough process for NBA coaches to select only seven All-Star reserves in each conference, but first-time starter Karl-Anthony Towns attempted to make a case for do-it-all teammate Josh Hart to be included when rosters are announced Thursday night.

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns explains how nice it felt to hit a couple threes against Memphis and details why Josh Hart should be an All-Star. Plus, Precious Achiuwa explains how his hamstring is feeling after returning from injury in December.

Karl-Anthony Towns jokes about disrupting "team's heart and soul" Josh Hart's vacation due to his selection for the All-Star Game.

For the first time in a half-century, the Knicks have two All-Star starters. Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns were named to the Eastern Conference squad for the Feb. 16 game in San Francisco, the NBA announced Thursday.
