The Los Angeles Clippers gave back to the community during a drive-thru food distribution event in Inglewood.
The LA Clippers Foundations, alongside Planet Fitness and Solar Optimum, hosted the event at the Kia Forum Saturday afternoon.
As many as 1,000 families were expected to receive the food donations during the event, with the care packages handed out by Clippers players, season ticket holders and volunteers.
The food was collected and packed by volunteers at the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank.
Newly signed Clippers point guard John Wall was joined by Terance Mann, Robert Covington, Norman Powell, Jason Preston, Moussa Diabete and Brandon Boston at the Forum.
“I know the struggle that people go through, like being less fortunate, not to be able to take care of themself or taking care of their family during hard times. I wish had the opportunity when I was growing up,” Wall said. “I don’t do it for the camera. I don’t do it for attention … my mom instilled in me, it’s like ‘always be known as a great person,’ it’s better than to just be known as a great basketball player.”

Cool, that’s awesome

it still trips me out that the Clip’s owner owns the Forum almost as a side hustle. it’d be kind of cool if they hosted a couple games there just for fun once they’ve moved into their new arena.

Good to see John Wall hasn’t changed, used to do similar things in DC, rooting for him this year

I’ve had way more respect for the Clips ever since Ballmer took over from Sterling. This was nice.

Hearing Kawhi’s oil-based nutrient pellets were not a huge hit.

This is actually fucking genius marketing to go after new fans . Old heads in LA will always be laker bandwagoners
