I'm wondering if Carl Anthony Towns, like, understands and accepts the perception of him and is

okay with it and laughs at it?

Or does he go home and he's like, man, like, everybody does think that I'm either gay or

soft or not tough enough to be a great player in the NBA?

Like, what is he thinking?

Anytime I see Carl Anthony Towns away from the basketball court and I see him, whether it be on a podcast or being interviewed, I think he's very comfortable with who he is. That's my sense. That's what I get from him. And you've got to be some sort of, you know, you've got to be living in a, you know, in a cave somewhere, not knowing what's being said about you on social media. I mean, it's all over the place. I mean, it's Instagram, it's TikTok, it's so, it's, it's, it's X everywhere, you know, the, the word zesty is used a lot. Yes, uh, zesty car and that meansown. If that means something that I don't know what it means?

I mean, it's sort of like flamboyant in a way.

Like that's what I would say.

And it's also, I saw this video of somebody standing outside of Madison Square Garden

and asking people to do their best Carl Anthony

Towns impression. It was all from this, you know, one interview that he had where he, he sounded

very zesty. And then also guys were going like, that's not a foul. You know, like, that's what

they were doing. And it's like, I mean, I don't know what to say about it. Like, I, I, I, I, I, to me, like, that's not that, that, that, that, when I was criticizing him, like, that part of whatever his aura is is not something that I was criticizing. It was more just like, you know, big moments and where is he and bad fouls and all of those things. Which actually came to fruition. Yeah, sure.

And that's what's frustrating here.

But I don't know.

I think that with the criticism that he has gotten in this offseason, if he doesn't come

back and do exactly what Rick Petino said and get into the best shape of his life and

show everybody that he can dominate for the entire season and into

the postseason, then really he is into winning players.

Well, all right, so here's the people are questioning his manhood every single day on national

television.

I know that.
