Some of the Timberwolves tore up N Sync's "Tearin' Up My Heart" in a music video.

As always, Ricky Rubio stole the show, and a few more hearts, by remarking in his charmingly accented English, "I know this song. I know. I like it."

Among those who tore up the classic in a moderately good way were #4 Wesley Johnson and, after he got started, # 8 Michael Beasley.

Johnson also gets points for throwing in what looked like Michael Jackson movements. Hold up, hold up. Around the 1:21 time mark, Beasley starts to work it out vocally. Beasley did the best job of choreographing moves to complement the lyrics.

And now for those tearing it up -- as in destroying -- the classic.

There was # 42 Kevin Love, who sounded like an injured puppy during a couple of passages. Love might have more success with Beach Boys tunes.

Anthony Tolliver, #44, was tryin' while #5 Martell Webster provided dances moves only and no singing.

Bringing up the rear, #14 Nikola Pekovic, who had a music request: "You got some Serbian songs?"

Maybe next music video, Pekovic, after this one finishes burning up the Web, where it's sure to be a hit because it's cute: tinyurl.com/6uqya4f.
