Karl-Anthony Towns would try to get Tyus Jones to reveal his secret, but Jones never would budge.

The Timberwolves center liked Jones' haircuts and peppered him with questions about who was cutting it.

"He would never tell me," Towns said.

Jones wanted to keep his barber, Akeem Akway, all to himself.

"I knew as soon as I opened that door he was going to end up cutting everybody," said Jones, now with Memphis.
