Karl-Anthony Towns' has 'best day ever' after priceless birthday gift

Karl-Anthony Towns has received luxury gifts before, the kind of high-end items that naturally follow an NBA star with an All-NBA résumé and max contract income. But none of those past presents compared to what he opened on his 30th birthday.
