Towns sounds like a fun guy and keeps the team in good spirits.
Kentucky coach John Calipari doesn’t consider freshman Karl-Anthony Towns “weird” even if he does have one habit that might seem a bit odd at least.
“Karl, he’s a character. He’s pretty funny,” said freshman teammate Tyler Ulis Friday. “He does this thing where he looks down and he’s like talking to somebody. You never know who he’s talking to. It’s like he’s talking to himself and stuff like that. We just — Karl, he’s a different type of kid.”
Ulis says Towns is likely to talk to himself “when he does something good.”
“He looks down and it’s like he’s talking to himself. Coach Cal calls it Karlito. Just stuff like that is really funny with Karl. He’s just a different type of kid,” Ulis said.
Kentucky coach John Calipari was a bit amused Friday when he learned that Ulis had revealed Towns’ secret identity.
“So you interviewed Karl today? Or did you interview Karlito?” Calipari asked. “He’s such a great kid. He doesn’t want to talk back to you, so he turns his head to the side and talks to that little man on his shoulder. And after he started doing it, I said, ‘Who are you talking to?’ And I can’t remember which of the coaches gave it the nickname: ‘He’s talking to Karlito.’
“He’s a great kid. They’re 18 and 19. They play an awful game and they’re photobombing. They’re young kids. They don’t know better. That’s fine.”
Towns, one of the team’s most articulate players, was surprised when he found out that Ulis had revealed his secret.
“Oh God. All the mysteries gotta come out about me today. Yeah, we have a friend of mine, on my shoulder who I call ‘Karlito,’ so supposedly it’s the little guy who talks to me before every time I’m doing something,” Towns said. “That’s what Cal always gets on me about, so if you hear him say ‘Karlito’ he’s not talking to me. It’s on my shoulder.”
Towns wasn’t sure whether to call it self-talk, inner dialogue” or something else.
“But I know one thing, I do talk to myself. I don’t know why, but I (have) some good conversations with myself. We could really put down that book and it be a best-seller,” Towns said.

Towns is a special person and sure will be missed next season both on and off the court. [ 02-23-2015, 08:22 PM: Message edited by: catmandoo ]

The good thing new players come in so quickly and the process starts all over again. The list of players that have played for Cal and professionally is amazing. It would be interesting to know how much money his players have made over the years.

I climb up and down helicopters everyday. I'm on a crew where I'm 47, and the next oldest guy is 31. We have to work in some tight spots, sometimes when I get up my joints creek the young guys laugh and call me paw paw. But I tell you this they have to bust their backsides to keep up with me.

We have seen presses this season but we haven't seen a press like Arkansas's. Arkansas has been noted for their press for years and this years team is no different. The good thing is we have good ball handlers that should handle it and you can bet Cal has them ready for it.
