Today, Mario Chalmers celebrates another birthday. Hopefully he celebrates it as hard as Memphis Grizzlies fans have celebrated many of his clutch plays during his time in a Grizzly uniform.
It was not always cheers in Memphis toward Chalmers. Let us flash back to ten years ago.
In the 2008 NCAA Men’s Basketball National Championship Game, it was the University of Kansas Jayhawks facing off against the University of Memphis Tigers. What initially seemed like a championship headed for Beale Street actually resulted in a celebration for Lawrence, Kansas due to late-game heroics by Chalmers.
