Zach Randolph Talks About His Almost-Fight With Kendrick Perkins, Sounds Like A Crazy Person
Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: Z-Bo calls himself "a jacking dude."...
"I'm 38 Years Old, Baby": Things Rasheed Wallace Said, Did, And Pointed At During Last Night's Knicks Game
Rasheed Wallace: lover, fighter, hilarious training camp invitee, and talker of the best trash in the NBA. On Tuesday, he yelled "Yeah, Aflac!" at Aaron Afflalo after Afflalo bricked a free throw; last night, he yelled everything at everybody after they did anything. Here is your courtside Sheed exp...
David Stern Did Some Play-By-Play Announcing Last Night
David Stern joined the Utah Jazz broadcast team during last night's Jazz-Grizzlies game to talk about the state of the NBA or something else equally boring. The interview wasn't a complete waste of time, though, because it gave Stern the opportunity to test his announcing chops and call some of th...
Peyton Manning Will Buy A Stake In The Memphis Grizzlies
Like LeBron James with his stake in Liverpool, Peyton Manning has decided merely being at (or near) the top of one sport is not enough: he'd also like to own part of a team in another. Chris Vernon had the scoop on Thursday, and as he noted then, Peyton Manning joins a strangely star-studded ownersh...
Owner Michael Heisley May Have Finally Found Someone To Take the Grizzlies Off His Hands
You may remember that Memphis Grizzlies majority owner Michael Heisley attempted to sell his team to a group that included Christian Laettner in 2006. That deal fell through when the buyers missed a deadline, and Heisley's been looking for a buyer ever since. Looks like he's found one in Robert J. P...
A Grizzlies-Garbed Jerry "The King" Lawler Gave A "Clippers Fan" A Piledriver Last Night
Z-Bo's back, O.J. Mayo's somehow transformed into a disciplined and all-around player, and the Clippers overcame a late 24-point deficit to win Game One. The Memphis-L.A. Clippers series has been a cornucopia of improbabilities, and it continued last night as the Grizzlies took Game Two 105-98 des...
A Grizzlies Fan Put His Fingers Where They Don't Belong On Marc Gasol
This... this is not appropriate....
Tony Allen's Fake Pass Was Some Harlem Globetrotter-Type Ish
Tony Allen grabbed a Grizzlies franchise record eight steals in a win over Cleveland last night, but outstanding defensive play is boring. We prefer Tony the Showman, faking out absolutely no one with a slick whiff on the full-court pass. Yeah, he might have kicked the ball for the steal, and yeah...
Gilbert Arenas (Sort Of) Sets The Record Straight On Shoe-Pooping
USA Today has a story today on Gilbert Arenas, who seems to be enjoying the quiet calm and relative anonymity of being a role player earning the veteran's minimum with the Memphis Grizzlies (that the Magic still have to pay him $60 million probably helps)....
Memphis's GM Got The Idea To Sign Gilbert Arenas From A Blog Post
Memphis GM Chris Wallace said on the air that the idea to add Agent Zero came to him after being handed (a paper copy of?) this post on 3 Shades Of Blue, pushing Arenas as a veteran postseason presence. The reasoning? He's young, he's a good guy, fans love him, and most importantly, he's said it wou...
Agent Zero Reloads: Gilbert Arenas Signs With The Grizzlies
He's already passed a physical and he'll earn the veteran's minimum, with his prorated salary for the rest of the season estimated to be $300,000. Arenas's Memphis teammates are hereby advised to keep an eye their shoes....
Police Pointed A Gun At Zach Randolph While He Was In Bed With A Woman
No charges were filed relating to a mansion party hosted by Zach Randolph outside of Portland last year, where a marijuana dealer alleged he was assaulted by Randolph's entourage after a "disagreement in price" over the weed he was selling. This week, police have released a trove of documents relati...
Danilo Gallinari Goes Crossover, Behind The Back, No-Look Pass
For a guy who stands 6-10, Danilo Gallinari is an exceptional ball-handler. Here he is last night with a reminder for the Grizzlies' Quincy Pondexter....
Chris Mullin And Dan Shulman Tried On Memphis Tams Hats, Looked Ridiculous

Report: Allen Iverson In Talks To Play In Puerto Rico
The Puerto Rican league is basically trying to sell the 36-year-old Iverson an opportunity to prove himself to teams in the NBA. It's not like he's already tried to do this or anything. [Yahoo!]...
Apparently Darko Milicic Never Invests Any Of His Money, Or Even Puts It In A Bank
Former NBA scrub Casey Jacobsen—not to be confused with former MLB scrub Bucky Jacobsen—blogs occasionally for SLAM from Germany, where he now plays for Brose Baskets. His most recent post, where he describes his NBA teammates with senior superlatives, offers a real gem about Darko:...
Chris Broussard Doesn't Know How To Spell "Memphis"
Prior to ESPN's broadcast of tonight's Celtics-Mavericks matchup, there was an odd whiteboard round-table discussion during which we learned analyst Chris Broussard struggles with the spelling of the Bluff City....
Oh No, Z-Bo! [UPDATE]
Grizzlies star Zach Randolph went down hard in a painful collision with teammate O.J. Mayo in the first quarter of Memphis' matchup tonight with the Bulls in Chicago. Amateur surgeons online are already claiming an ACL tear and that Z-Bo's season is over, though he later headed to the locker room ...
Memphis Could Sue The NBA If It Doesn't Get Its Shit Together
In America, if you're not getting what you need quickly enough, there is always a simple back-up plan available: go to court, tie everything up in paperwork and bureaucracy, and end up with a settlement. It's almost one of our golden rules. And so it's almost a surprise that, with lockouts straining...
