In the long arc of New York basketball, Karl-Anthony Towns has arrived not merely as a player but as a keeper of memory — his mother's devotion, Patrick Ewing's legacy, and the quiet faith of generations who never stopped believing.

Towns has chosen, deliberately, to carry all of it — and in doing so, has transformed personal loss into something the entire city can share.
