“Ja Morant and Karl-Anthony Towns’ fathers shared a light-hearted moment”: How Memphis Grizzlies and Minnesota Timberwolves are keeping the peace off the court – through alpha dads

Tee Morant and Karl Towns Sr shared a light-hearted moment courtside as their sons Ja Morant and Karl-Anthony Towns battled on it.

One of the biggest challenges that kids face while trying to reach the professional level is this – how supportive are their families in their pursuit of stardom?

Given the vagaries of class struggle in society, sports superstardom is a dream that many kids have, but give up in their youth. Making the grade as an academic – at least during school years – is the way to go.

Tee Morant and Karl Towns Sr bucked the trend in this regard. Not least because of their own life experiences, but also because of their dedication to getting their kids to the very best spots.

Both are successful fathers in this regard, and are reaping the benefits of their hard work over decades. Their sons are now battling it out during the most prestigious stages of their lives – the playoff stage.
