Customers at a Walmart in Philadelphia got a big surprise Monday when they learned their layaway orders were paid for by Marcus Morris of the Boston Celtics and Markieff Morris of the Washington Wizards.
The brothers put $6,000 toward covering customers' Christmas gifts at the store, which is located close to where they grew up in North Philadelphia, according to Annie McCormick of WPVI-TV. They couldn't be there in person, but their mom Thomasine Morris was on hand to greet customers.
"It's a blessing to be able to give people anything," Thomasine said. "Even though we play in Boston, even though we play in Washington, Philly is still our family."
