Opinion: Mentor teachers are doing some of the most important work in our education system. And we are almost entirely failing to support them https://t.co/8e47N0hHEw

@Kqmuii @SayMane901 that’s real 💙 nothing like da city . 🙌🏾

[The Players’ Tribune @PlayersTribune]

In 2022, Zach Randolph wrote about his love for the city of Memphis: “Listen man, Memphis is one of the most underrated cities in the country. They have so much underground talent in that city that hasn’t even been tapped yet. I know that for a fact. Memphis has so much creativity and history, just on the music side, from the blues to Isaac Hayes, to even Elvis.

There’s no denying it’s a cultural city.

But it’s a hard working town, you feel me? With blue collar, hard working people.

It has its tough spots and rough moments, but the thing that makes Memphis special is that they accept all their people. People who got knocked down and got up resilient. People who ain’t got the prettiest journey story. Bottom line is, you can be you in Memphis — you don’t have to act a certain way.

So when I got there, I felt like I fit right in.” https://t.co/UkGgadYRQP

The parade of shitting on Memphis is tired, cruel and so incredibly misguided. The way people talk about this city is nuts.

Happy to give any NBA player (or anyone!) an itinerary the next time they’re in town to debunk this absurdity.

Draymond reacts to news of NBA expanding to Seattle and Las Vegas

"Minnesota And Memphis Should Be Eastern Conference Teams...Adam do us a favor and take the (Grizzlies) to Nashville, leave that arena and you ain't gotta pay the relocation fee... but you ask yourself, or do you just get rid of the conferences 👀 👀 👀 "

I’ve had three straight incredible weekends bopping about Downtown Memphis and I dream of the day we talk about the city like this instead of listening to the losers who can’t keep our name out of their mouths 😇

News: In recent weeks, the Smith family offered to buy the Grizzlies from Robert Pera

Here’s what happened and what it says about the franchise’s commitment to Memphis.

Hint: Grizz fans can relax a little bit.
