KARL-Anthony Towns and the Dominican Republic have ended their campaign in the 19th FIBA World Cup, but he remains proud of his country’s run.
The Caribbean nation fell to Serbia in the second round of the world meet 72-112 last Sunday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
The Minnesota Timberwolves’ big man said he hopes to inspire young players in the Dominican Republic.
“I hope we made all the families back home proud. I hope that we brought hope to a country that was told that coming here we wouldn’t be anything and we would be kind of those games that you could win,” Towns said. “I hope we show the girls and boys back home that our country’s full of basketball talent.
“We are one of the best countries in the world for basketball. We showed anything’s possible. We showed everything’s possible,” he added.
