During the FIBA World Cup match against the Philippines, Towns was at the free-throw line when he saw the camera on him. He then sees his hair being a little messed up and he goes on to fix it a little bit. This is shown on the big screen at the stadium, and that seemed to rile up the home fans.
Towns realized what he did and he went on smiling back to the other side. This even caught the eye of NBA fans from all around the world.

Another fan was not impressed with this and they called out one of his teammates, who threw an inadvertent punch in the game.
Nothin' wrong with your hair but your teammate delgado has a big problem punching one player from Gilas!

Another fan joined the action and called out FIBA as well.
How about the punch @AngelDelgado ? We will just ignore it? @FIBAWC ? No action?

One more fan joined in and they went on a rant this time around.
I say, βwhatβs wrong with your teammate Angel Delgado throwing a sucker punch at our player and @FIBA referees missed that?β is the appropriate question to ask IMHO! You aim for fair play and it doesnβt manifest at all.
