The first time Gersson Rosas met Andrew Wiggins after taking over as Timberwolves president, Rosas immediately went to pick up Wiggins’ daughter, Amyah. Wiggins wasn’t sure how the interaction would go.
“She lets people pick her up, but … she’s better with women,” Wiggins said. “With guys, she’s more skeptical.”
Not knowing this, Rosas charged ahead. Wiggins watched closely. Amyah seemed OK. No crying or anything. A success.
“Gersson just picked her right up and she was cool with it,” Wiggins said.
When recalling that moment recently, Rosas couldn’t help but crack up.
“I got a lot of credibility from him off of that,” Rosas said.
