The highlight of the Timberwolves’ shopping spree with a group of kids waiting to be adopted took place in the electronics section of the Target on Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis.

Zach LaVine was helping a boy look for a PlayStation 3 controller. The store was out of those.

So LaVine suggested the boy get a PlayStation 4, the newest version of the video game console.

He didn’t have enough money. Each kid was given $500 to spend during the spree, and with the other things the boy had in his cart, he had enough money to cover maybe a third of the console’s cost.

No matter. LaVine said he’d cover the remainder of the tab, at which point the boy covered his mouth as his face lit up.

That’s Karl-Anthony Towns favorite part of the event, which the Timberwolves put on every year. This was the 12th edition of the Timberwolves FastBreak Foundation’s Holiday Shopping for Kids.

“I think that’s what awesome to see their face light up for one of the times in their life just to see endless possibilities,” Towns said. “That’s the greatest thing about getting to do what we do.” Related Articles ‘Home Teams vs. Hunger’ initiative aims to address Minnesota’s growing need

There were certainly other funny and positive moments as the kids and players interacted. One girl had Nemanja Bjelica say his name about six times and still probably doesn’t know how to pronounce it. Maria was looking for a Kindle while shopping with Andrew Wiggins, so Wiggins walked her over to the tablets. It was at that point she found out Wiggins didn’t know what a Kindle is.

“I had to explain to him what a Kindle was,” she said. “He was embarrassed.”

And laughing. It was clear he enjoyed the experience, as did everyone else.

“Stuff like this is bigger than basketball,” Wiggins said. “They show us support, we show them support. We’re all one big community, so we work together. And we always want to make sure everything is great for the community and we have to continue doing stuff, continue putting smiles on faces and helping everybody out.”
