Karl-Anthony Towns told Michelle Beadle, co-host of ESPN's Sportsnation, he watched "a lot of Kobe Bryant" with his best friend while they were growing up. Towns appeared on the program Tuesday to promote Call of Duty: Black Ops III, and participated in a game called "Right Town for Towns", where the seven-footer answered questions that would supposedly reveal which team with a top-four pick in the 2015 NBA Draft was the best fit for him.
The first question Towns was asked was which player out of Bryant, Allen Iverson, Patrick Ewing, and Kevin Garnett was his favorite.
