Karl-Anthony Towns

Draymond Green Clowns On Karl-Anthony Towns For “Changed The Game” Quote

by

Karl-Anthony Towns certainly doesn’t lack confidence. Drafted in 2015 out of Kentucky, Towns won Rookie of the Year in 2016. Since then, he has become a three-time All-Star and two-time All-NBA Third Team member. At the time of writing, Towns is averaging a career double-double with an average of 23 points and 11.2 rebounds per game. However, his 2022-23 season was limited to just 29 games due to injury.

While the Timberwolves have never been a contender during Towns’ time on the team, things do appear to be trending upward. 2022-23 marked the first time that the team made the playoffs in back-to-back seasons since 2004. However, the appearance marked just the third postseason of Towns’ career. Despite this, Towns raised some eyebrows with a bold claim. Appearing on Patrick Beverley’s podcast, Towns claimed that once his career is over, people will say that he “changed the game.”

Draymond Green Reacts To Towns Quote

It’s a bold claim to be sure. Towns is often an outsider in conversations about the NBA’s best center. Furthermore, the position is firmly dominated by the likes of Embiid and Jokić. Objectively speaking, Towns is going to have to do a lot more in the rest of his career to be seen as anything more as a solid NBA player and the best player during a down era for the Timberwolves. A major figure not buying the hype was Draymond Green. The Warriors veteran has never let comments like this pass him by. Additionally, Green has often been vocal about Towns in the past.

Taking to Twitter, Green retweeted a Bleacher Report post about highlighting Towns’ quote. “aye @patbev21 when people come on yo show they change the game!!l?!? 🤯🤯🤯 I’m looking forward to it man,” Green added in a quote-tweet. It’s a hilarious dismissal of Towns’ chest-pounding that only Green could pull off. Green and Towns have faced each other 17 times in the NBA, with Green currently holding an 11-6 record in those games. Do you think Towns is writing checks his career can’t cash? Should Patrick Beverley have Draymond Green on his podcast? Let us know in the comments. Follow all the latest sports news here at HotNewHipHop.

Karl-Anthony Towns Reacts To Jordyn Woods’ Stunning Dubai Bikini Photos

by

A couple we’ve been seeing out and about together more frequently than ever as of late is Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns. The long-term couple celebrated their three-year anniversary earlier this month, and to celebrate, caught a flight to beautiful Dubai together. The social media star was definitely appropriately dressed for the hot weather, posing for photos in an extra cheeky zebra print bikini. She shared a carousel on Instagram on Friday (May 25), showing off her notably slimmer figure from various angles.

Followers have taken notice of Woods’ weight loss, and some of them have accused her of relying on Ozempic to aid her. Recent posts have been riddled with hateful comments, which is likely why the 25-year-old opted to limit replies to this one. “Nothing but hard work. Gotta love a natural body,” one response that made the cut reads. Another comes from Jordyn’s boyfriend, who revealed he was the one responsible for capturing her beauty on camera. “I snapped on these photos,” the NBA player wrote.

Jordyn Woods is Feeling Herself

Elsewhere in the replies, some have been chastising Woods for her decision to bare so much skin in the Middle East. “Dubai isn’t a place known for the display of nakedness!” one of them condemned the reality star. “Not you making clothes for the thick girls and going on Ozempic… Bye,” another critic wrote for Jordyn to read. No matter what the haters have to say, Jordyn Woods has continued to share stunning content from her trip to Dubai on IG.

On Saturday (May 27), she shared another photo dump, this one primarily focused on the beauty of the nature surrounding her. From watching camels to catching the sunset while standing in the endless sand, she’s had no shortage of adventures on her anniversary getaway with her basketball beau.

Jordyn Woods Dons Same Curve-Hugging Dress Kylie Jenner Recently Wore For Date With Karl-Anthony Towns

by

If any couple is in their own lane and absolutely flourishing right now, it’s Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns. The pair rarely makes headlines for any reason regarding drama. Rather, they’re best known for spoiling each other with luxurious gifts and lavish date nights. This week was no exception, as DailyMail reports she and the NBA player were photographed grabbing a late dinner at Lavo in West Hollywood on Thursday (May 18).

As per usual, Woods ensured she was the best-dressed in the building, donning a curve-hugging ankle-length dress by Jean Paul Gaultier for the occasion. She paired the look with beige heels and a dark green bag, wearing her brown hair in long braids reaching down to her curvaceous booty. The fashion designer looks undeniably stunning in the snapshots. Still, many were quick to notice that her outfit of choice is the same one that her ex-best friend, Kylie Jenner, had on earlier this month.

Jordyn Woods’ Date Night Glam

“In a room full of art, I would still stare at you 💜,” the 25-year-old wrote in her caption, seemingly referencing Towns with the purple heart emoji. He appeared far more casual for their night out together, wearing jeans under a jersey and large black jacket. This certainly isn’t the first time we’ve seen the couple out on the town together in 2023, and it likely won’t be the last as the NBA season wraps up for another year, leaving the athlete with plenty of free time to enjoy with Woods.

Aside from her taking inspiration from Jenner’s campaign shoot, fans have also been talking about the model’s noticeably slimmer figure, speculating that she could be using the popular weight loss drug Ozempic to achieve her results so quickly. Who do you think wore the JPG dress better, Jordyn or Kylie? See photos of the latter’s look here, and share your thoughts with us in the comments.

Jordyn Woods & Karl-Anthony Towns Step Out In Style For Date Night

by

Some thought that the end of her friendship with Kylie Jenner would also mark the finale of Jordyn Woods’ rise to fame. They were clearly wrong, as the socialite’s star has continued to burn brighter and brighter over the years. Not only has she built successful brands for herself, but she’s also been happily in love with NBA player Karl-Anthony Towns for some time now.

They’ve been together as a couple since May 2020, though many years before that were spent getting to know each other as friends. By September 2020 they went Instagram official, and since then, we’ve seen various heartwarming posts come from both Woods and her all-star athlete. Most recently, the former showed off their date night outfits in a sweet photo on her feed.

Love Birds Take The Town

The Life of Kylie alum posted the sweet picture with Towns on Monday (February 20). For his part, the basketball player looked dapper outside of his usual jersey, instead opting for an all-black ensemble. He kept his accessories simple, rocking a gold pinkie ring and a flashy watch to complete his look. Beside him in radiant yellow is Woods, who likely turned heads all evening long in her glamorous gown.

Sporting her hair in a sleek, dark brown bob, the California native followed in her man’s footsteps by layering simple gold jewellery. This photo hides the most breathtaking elements of her dress, though another photo dump on her feed reveals Woods’ toned stomach and curvy figure looking fabulous. It remains unclear where the lovers spent their night, but they were undoubtedly the best dressed in attendance.

Jordyn’s Near-Fashion Faux Pas

Her date night outfit may have been on point, but less than a month ago, the model was called out for a serious fashion faux pas. Shortly after the launch of her Woods by Jordyn collection, a TikToker’s negative review of the garments picked up plenty of attention. While some were quick to try to cancel the brunette beauty, she took time to respond to the situation with complete composure.

“There’s always room for constructive criticism and I’m always listening to the consumer to see how I can get better and improve. I will say there is a way to be honest and real without bringing other people down and other influencers into it.” Woods explains in the above video. “Opinions are subjective until you have felt the material and you know, some people are going to love it and some people aren’t going to like it.”

With NBA Free agency opening on Thursday, three league stars have inked new extensions with their franchises.

According to ESPN, league MVP and Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic has agreed to the largest contract in NBA history. Jokic and the Nuggets have agreed to a five-year, $270 million supermax extension, which now ties the big man to the team for six seasons at a total of $303 million. Last season Jokic averaged 27.1 points, 13.8 rebounds, and 7.9 assists.

After opting out of this player option, Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal has signed a new five-year maximum contract worth $251 million. Beal recently turned 29 years old and has played all 10 years of his career with the Wizards.

Karl-Anthony Town has committed to the Minnesota Timberwolves at $224 million in a supermax deal. That number is attached to the $70 million owed to Towns over the next two seasons.

After a breakout season that made him a household name and superstar, Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant agreed to a five-year designated rookie extension that will bring $231 million. He is guaranteed $192 million and will be supermax eligible which could lead to the $231 million.

With the Phoenix Suns rumored to be in the mix to add Kevin Durant, they locked in their current superstar Devin Booker to a $224 million supermax. The deal will keep Booker with the team over the next four years.
