On Friday, a member of the NBA brotherhood and family officially announced his retirement from professional hoops. This particular baller had last played for the Memphis Grizzlies in the 2015-16 season.
If you are a Grizzlies fan, the 2015-16 team was special. Or unique, if you want to call it that. Perhaps “odd” is the best adjective. Memphis, severely bitten by the injury bug in addition to being a trade partner, hosted a total of 28 different players in this particular season. That is essentially two team’s worth of bodies in just one season. The spectacular fact is they somehow managed to squeak into the postseason in the Wild West.
