Now, he has a message for the current Kentucky team.<\/p>\n
\u201cBe in the present,\u201d Towns said. \u201cWhen you got Kentucky across your chest and you\u2019re playing for the basketball team, you\u2019re the rock stars of Lexington. Make everyone proud. Show everyone what it truly means to be a Kentucky Wildcat. Appreciate this moment. Not many people get to call themselves a Kentucky Wildcat. It is one of the biggest honors you\u2019ll receive in life. Enjoy this moment. You may never be in a room with that much talent ever again.\u201d<\/p>\n
