Lakers center Marc Gasol was the narrator during a video tribute from the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday, his voice full of pride for a city he had first called home as a teenager, a voice full of joy from those special times with his “Grit and Grind” brothers such as Zach Randolph and Tony Allen, a voice full of happiness from the charity work he did in the city.
As Gasol looked up at the videoboard and heard his voice speaking over a montage from his time in Memphis, his only wish was that fans could have been inside FedExForum to share in the moment, but they were not able to attend because of the COVID-19 restrictions.
