ESPN will not stop talking about LeBron James and where he’s going to end up next year. It’s kind of annoying, but honestly, I never watch ESPN anymore, so it’s not like I’m one of the people being inundated with the coverage. I pretty well just mosey around Twitter and various web sites to get my sports news these days.
This morning, I’m scrolling around and find this story about how James has told teams he’s not interested in their sales pitch. I find that hilarious, for some reason. Like, “please stop, people. I know what I’m doing. I’m LeBron James.” But, I respect it. He wants to just have a real basketball conversation with people, and that’s that.
It’s going to be an eventful Summer, but from what I’ve gathered, The Decision 3.0 has come down to only a few teams. It’s Cleveland, Philadelphia, Houston, and Los Angeles. Any of those teams, but LA. I’m a big fan of James, but I don’t really want to root for the Lakers either. Anyway, that’s not my point here today.
My point is: why the hell is there no love for our own beloved Memphis Grizzlies?
I mean….they’re Tennessee’s team, and Tennessee has a lot of good stuff going for it right now. Imagine what he could do donning the three shades of blue.
I know he doesn’t want my pitch, and I’m sure he’ll read this, so I’m going to go ahead and apologize in advance for breaking the one rule he seems to have this offseason. But, I’ve put together a comprehensive list of reasons that James should consider playing for the Grizzlies.
Reasons to Love Memphis
Point 1: The Supporting Cast – Hey, if he keeps talking about needing a supporting case, then my goodness, look no further than Mike Conley, Marc Gasol, and Tyreke Evans, baby! Just think of what this team could do with James on the roster. They might actually make the playoffs.
Point 2: BBQ – I don’t care what Nashvillians say, Memphis is killing us when it comes to BBQ. We like to pride ourselves as an emerging food city, and there is definitely good BBQ to be had in Nashville, but Memphis is the OG. James would not be able
Point 3: Centrality – Memphis is pretty centrally located. You’re just a few hours away from Nashville, St. Louis, New Orleans, and Little Rock. We all know how wild those weekends in Little Rock get.
Point 4: Beale Street – There’s only one Beale Street and you certainly won’t find it in Houston, Los Angeles, or Philadelphia.
Point 5: Tunica – If all else fails, sell Tunica. Tunica rules.
