Jason King of Bleacher Report has written a nice article about Kentucky freshman Karl-Anthony Towns and how big a heart the kid has on and off the court.
Here is an excerpt:
Last August, during an exhibition tour of the Bahamas, the Wildcats took a break from basketball to participate in a community service activity with Samaritan’s Feet, a global outreach program that helps impoverished youth.
Armed with buckets of soap and water, at a church just outside of Nassau, Kentucky’s players literally bent over and scrubbed the feet and washed the toes of hundreds of Bahamian children before providing them with new pairs of socks and shoes.
With supplies running low toward the end of the event, a volunteer scurried about the room, trying unsuccessfully to locate larger socks for a boy in his early teens.
“Are we really out of size 10-13?” the volunteer shouted.
The room fell silent.
But only for a moment.
“He can have mine,” a voice said softly.
