@willgtg901 😂😂😂

Rogers is worse than Jaykwon Walton I didn’t think any player could ever achieve that feat A different level of ass

@BigBadBumgarner @GrizzliesPR @memgrizz @FedEx I appreciate the kindness y’all have shown me, but it’s a team effort. A team of my great staff here at FedEx, the Grizzlies, Tigers, and especially YOU the fans! #GTG #GNG

@GrizzliesPR @memgrizz @FedEx Let’s just go ahead and build the Fred Smith statue.

The @memgrizz today announced that @FedEx has committed to continuing its long-term partnership with the franchise.

Our continued partnership with @memgrizz is vital to the growth and success of the City of Memphis. We are proud to do our part - with both the Grizzlies and @TigersAthletics #GTG #GNG

@jayCthebull JC! I appreciate the rage bait effort but sadly, you’re just a @willgtg901 wannabe. Better luck in Fort Worth in March! - Your Billionaire Daddy

My mentions are getting gutted Memphis fans treated this shit like a damn SUPER BOWL. 🤣🤣🤣 I get it. Everyone wants to go after the big brands…

@bigmikestone69 Stop tweeting at me! The answer is no - I’m not using a single penny of my $6.2 Billion to bail you out of jail. Maybe stay away from those kids. #GTG

One day closer to the dogs marching into the forum and showing a group of thugs how real men play basketball @NILMaster901

@jayCthebull @kendricdavisfan @Maccneal @MeanGreenFB JC! I’m not sure what’s worse, you glazing a player who left your trash team or the fact that @MeanGreenMBB only has one tournament win ever. Suck my billionaire dick, Fred

@NILMaster901 @kendricdavisfan @Maccneal @MeanGreenFB Fred! Aaron’s jumper seemed to work just fine (and efficiently) against your 2 best players! Even had (18/10) against PJ Trasherty! Appreciate the wishes as we look to cover the spread in both games. Hoping those SEC schools don’t blow you out too bad! All the worst, JC

@jayCthebull @kendricdavisfan @Maccneal JC! The only thing broke is Aaron Scott’s jumper. Good luck in the rest of your non-con schedule against *asks my assistant* App State and Houston Bible College. On the bright side, maybe @MeanGreenFB can beat a +10 spread and make it above .500 this year. Best, Fred

@NILMaster901 @kendricdavisfan @Maccneal Fred , you got the dollar store Aaron Scott. You’re broke Thanks , JC

@jayCthebull @kendricdavisfan @Maccneal Don’t ever call #TigerInitiative broke again you femboy! #GTG

@kendricdavisfan @Maccneal Yes and yes
