Karl-Anthony Towns, Ben Stiller share NYC subway rom-com moment
The cover of New York magazine has united Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns and one of the team’s biggest fans, Ben Stiller, on the New York subway, we share a moment straight out of a rom-com.
The latest New York magazine is based on “reasons to love” the city. Still and Townes share wired headphones while sitting on a subway train in New York on the cover.
What better place for such a rom-com-coded magazine cover than New York? The photographers deserve props for coming up with the cover icon.
