“#Julius Randle pulled off trip<\/a>le crown at NBA All-Star Sunday<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Knicks power forward Julius Randle didn\u2019t pull off a triple-double, but he pulled off the triple crown at All-Star Sunday.<\/p>\n

He competed in the Skills Competition, was used as a prop in the Slam Dunk Contest and played 13 minutes in his first All-Star Game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In limited action in the main event, Randle scored two early buckets \u2014 one on a driving powerhouse dunk \u2014 for four points and tossed an alley-oop pass to Donovan Mitchell for a dunk.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a long day,\u2019\u2019 Randle said. \u201cI\u2019m not going to lie.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

After playing in all 38 of the Knicks\u2019 games and leading the NBA in total minutes, he was fine taking a backseat as his Team Durant suffered a 170-150 loss to Team LeBron.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a great thing,\u2019\u2019 Randle said of his limited minutes. \u201cI\u2019m leading the league in minutes. It\u2019s a great thing. Trust me, I\u2019m fine.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was great. Definitely everything I imagined to be part of it. I had a lot of fun, [was] excited. It\u2019s something I want to be part of a lot more. It was a great experience, the conversations. It\u2019s an experience I\u2019ll never forget \u2014 the first one.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

At halftime Knicks rookie Obi Toppin summoned Randle to stand alongside his father so he could leap over the two of them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was confident,\u2019\u2019 Randle said. \u201cHe did it like 10 times [Saturday]. [Saturday], I was worried. Today, he did it so much I had nothing to worry about.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Last March 11, Randle was at a low point when he realized his first season as a Knick had ended because of the pandemic, cut short of turning his disapp<\/a>ointing season around.<\/p>\n

Flash forward a year later, and Randle and family were in Atlanta this weekend. His wife Kendra, whom he met at Kentucky, and son Kyden, now 4 years old, sat courtside at State Farm Arena on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how fast life can change as a Knick.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s enjoying it,\u2019\u2019 Randle said of his son. \u201cHe definitely knows it\u2019s something that\u2019s not normal and cool. He\u2019s definitely loving that. He loves walking around saying he\u2019s an all-star kid. He\u2019s enjoying it.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said entering the All-Star break Randle is playing like an \u201cAll-NBA player.\u201d Three All-NBA teams are announced after the season and Randle\u2019s numbers \u2014 if they keep up \u2014 could easily get him there if the Knicks make the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Randle, 26, admitted on a recent podcast he cried when learning coaches had voted him as an All-Star reserve for the Eastern Conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was more, as much as being named All-Star, it was more the journey,\u2019\u2019 Randle said Sunday. \u201cAppreciate the seven years so far in the league, the journey and process, year after year and the grind, hard work, sacrifice, commitment through the process. It made me reflect and appreciate that process more than anything.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

The Knicks are in fifth place in the East thanks to Randle\u2019s ironman will.<\/p>\n

He hasn\u2019t missed a game. He has averaged 23.2 points, 11.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists. He has spent the past two weeks in profound thought on how he was so disappointed in himself failing as a leader in his first season during last season\u2019s Knicks mess.<\/p>\n

Now you can call the Knicks leader, Captain Randle, though Thibodeau doesn\u2019t believe in bestowing titles.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt means a lot \u2014 it\u2019s a responsibility I truly enjoy,\u2019\u2019 Randle said. \u201cA lot of things about my way of leadership is to be vocal, but I try to lead by example \u2014 how I approach work and study the game. Do the things the right way. It\u2019s a great responsibility I love to have. Hopefully in the second half I\u2019ll continue to do that and be the best leader I can. Hopefully, it translates to wins.\u2019\u2019\n <\/p><\/div>\n
