KAT called it.
The Knicks and Spurs will be facing off in a rematch of the 1999 NBA Finals, and fans have spotted an eerily accurate prediction from Karl-Anthony Towns ahead of his Knicks debut two years ago.
Prior to the October 6, 2024 preseason matchup at the Charlotte Hornets, Towns arrived at the Spectrum Center wearing a retro 1999 Finals tee featuring Tim Duncan and Latrell Sprewell.
And 27 years later, Towns and his teammates will get their own shot at the Spurs after San Antonio beat the Thunder in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals on Saturday.
Towns’ prophetic fashion choice resurfaced on X on Saturday as fans shared their stunned reactions.
“IT WAS WRITTEN,” one wrote.
“Holy s— this is insane. Script Writers cooked on this one,” another added.
And a third said: “He knew everything from the beginning.”
Towns and the Knicks will hope their meeting with Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs goes better than the last Finals meeting between the two franchises.
In that series, the Knicks lost in five games and failed to reach 80 points three times as Duncan won Finals MVP.
The Finals will tip off on Wednesday with San Antonio hosting Games 1 and 2.
