The NBA season is in full swing and the Minnesota Timberwolves have been up and down to start the year. It might take a minute for the chemistry to build after the front office made big moves in the offseason. However, as it turns out, fans can’t help but roast Karl-Anthony Towns for his open criticism of teammate Anthony Edwards.

Karl-Anthony Towns openly criticized Anthony Edwards for his diet, or lack thereof. “I know ya’ll think it’s funny when he’s up here talking about Popeyes and all that shi. That doesn’t make me happy to hear.” Listen to his full quote below.

Kind of harsh words considering Edwards is his teammate. Regardless, Karl-Anthony Towns seems rather serious about taking on a leadership role in Minnesota. Even so, Timberwolves fans couldn’t help but roast their superstar center for his take on Anthony Edwards’ eating habits.

Also, Kobe Bryant was known for having a horrible diet during his younger days (Kobe’s tweet is on the seventh anniversary of his 81-point game, for clarification).
