CHARLOTTE – Veteran Grizzlies guard Garrett Temple projects much taller than 6-foot-6, especially when boosted by the historic shoulders on which he’s stood to reach this point in his journey to leadership.
As the league All-Star Game returns to Charlotte later this month, Temple is a little more than halfway through his three-year term as a vice president of the NBA Players Association. And All-Star Weekend is always a reminder of how much progress the league overall, and its players in particular, has thrived.
There’s also plenty of work to be done to keep the game’s current and former players moving forward.
