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.
