When he is not spending countless hours in the gym honing his game, Minnesota Timberwolves superstar Karl-Anthony Towns loves to just sit back and play video games on his PC. He now has a gaming rig fit for his All-Star stature, as he unveiled a ridiculous newly customized set-up.
Towns appeared on XBOX's new show called Signature Rigs, where the 24-year-old slotman was given a new set-up, which is the stuff of every gamer's dreams.

The impressive machine featured cutting-edge components fit into a custom spherical chassis, which resembles the shape of a basketball.
