This local article on Karl Anthony-Towns got me dieing but on a side note I think his teammates just solidified Okafor as the number 1 pick.

Here is the full article http://www.kentucky.com/2015/03/29/3774139/towns-grows-from-prima-donna-into.html#storylink=cpy


"He carried us," said Tyler Ulis. "He was getting fouled. All those were and-ones to me, and they didn't call the calls. It tells you how much he's grown as a player. He's fighting through the fouls — not crying like a little baby anymore. He's just getting through it and playing."

Hold on a second.

Did Ulis really say that Towns — a 7-footer and possible No. 1 pick in this year's NBA Draft — was acting like a "little baby" earlier this season?

"We used to call him Karl Kardashian," said Andrew Harrison. "He was a little prima donna."

Towns was sitting in his locker, surrounded by reporters and clutching the Midwest Regional trophy when confronted with the nickname.

"Really?!" he said, incredulously. "That's the first time I'm hearing that."

What did Towns make of it?

"I must be famous?" he said.

That's not what they meant, Karl.

Ulis said Coach John Calipari has been on Towns all season about playing tougher, listening more and moving on when things don't go his way.

There was no hint of Karl Kardashian on Saturday night.

So basically, both of the top prospects in this draft have on-court attitude issues. Towns acts like a little girl, and Okafor doesn't give enough fukks/no motor

You'd have to be an idiot to pass on a player because he's a "prima donna".


Nobody's passing on him he's not falling out of the top 3 I just found the article funny and interesting. If he beasts in the NBA nobody will remember this if he flops people might look back at these comments by his college teammates.

I'm not sure what the beef is tbh, Calipari obviously got on him a couple of times and is learning to control himself better than when the season started.

That one time in where Calipari looked like he wanted to punch dude in the neck for hanging on the rim changed him. I have a feeling Calipari kept ripping on him even after the game was over and the cameras were away, he was mad as fukk over that shyt lol.

Coach K got on Okafor for the same shyt as well, thats why these are great coaches.
