Ahead of his second season as the Arizona Razorbacks men’s basketball team, college basketball legend John Calipari paid a special visit to Lexington to celebrate one of the best players he coached at the University of Kentucky.

On Friday night, Karl-Anthony Towns also returned to Lexington to receive a major honor from his alma mater. Towns, who played 30 games with the Wildcats, in which he averaged 10.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 2.3 blocks per game, was inducted into the Kentucky Athletics Hall of Fame.

Many accompanied the New York Knicks star in this special occasion, including his former coach, who had words for Towns after the ceremony. Calipari was there with his family and coaching staff to honor the veteran center.
