Karl-Anthony Towns has had a strong first season with the Knicks, but he rubbed some New York fans the wrong way Wednesday night. The veteran center is very proud of his northern New Jersey roots, which gives him a special connection with his new fanbase.

The Knicks superstar rocked a green Eagles sweater with a retro logo while sitting on the bench during New York’s contest against the rival 76ers at Wells Fargo Center. Towns, an Edison, N.J., native, has made it clear in the past that he had no problem supporting the Eagles, no matter what team in the NBA he’s playing for.
