Stop showing off, Karl-Anthony Towns.
The reigning unanimous NBA Rookie of the Year participated in John Calipari's Celebrity Softball game over the weekend, giving back to a Kentucky program where he played his one and only year of college basketball.
The event raised $250,000 for the American Red Cross, toward relief for the flooding in Louisiana.
Towns also took part in the Home Run Derby, hitting the ball out of the park to win a sudden-death third round.
Is there anything he can't do?
