Michael Daush

@LetsJustGetAWin @TheNBABase Yeah, he can play when he isn’t hurt 2/3 of the time and when he tries every third game when he actually plays. Griz should have ditched him instead of Bane and picked up a reliable point guard.

@TheNBABase I would entertain the Bucks moving to get him if they want to retain Giannis. If not the Rockets? Heat? Ja can play. Four years ago my favorite player in the league. He can turn it around. Let's Go Ja. NBA needs you.

Kendrick Perkins on the "brutal reality" of Ja Morant: “It ain’t just Memphis that’s trending off Ja Morant. It’s the league. So you realize that they were trying to trade him at the trade deadline. And when nobody wanted him, they were asking Memphis to attach a first-round pick just for them to take Ja. That’s how he’s viewed in today’s game. Aye, man, the NBA don’t need you, bro. You’re a hell of a talent. I’m speaking to you f–k as a media personality. Nah, bro, I’m actually coming at you as a real one. Hey, bro, the NBA don’t need you. If he don’t get his s–t together, he’s gonna be one of the biggest disappointments in NBA history… The trade deadline should’ve been a wake-up call. Now this s–t that happened in Memphis should’ve been another wake-up call. If they can’t trade him, he ain’t going to be back in Memphis next year, so we could take that how we take it.” (Via @RoadTrippinShow )

@TheyCallHim_LA You need to look in a mirror!

If Memphis as a city didn’t have to battle the state of TN’s republican led legislature, I promise Memphis would see real progress. Memphis is treated like the unwanted stepchild due its majority black demographic and its history of voting blue.

@NBA__Courtside If the NBA was gone tomorrow, I wouldn’t even notice.

Gilbert Arenas agrees with LeBron on Memphis and says if NBA players could pick where they was drafted from, the players that was born in Memphis wouldn’t pick Memphis: “This is just to everybody in Memphis that’s upset and say you forget where you came from. NO, WE KNOW WHERE WE CAME FROM AND WE KNOW WHERE WE WANT TO GO. YOU THINK THIS is Memphis and another bunch of cities? You think basketball players are training every day to get out the hood to go to WHAT CITIES? WHO’S OUR IDOLS? ARE YOU THINKING HOW A basketball player think? Who’s our idols? Who are we growing up wanting to be in life? MICHAEL JORDAN, big city. Kobe Bryant, big city. Bird, Magic, big city. SO, EVERY NBA PLAYER COMING TO THE DRAFT, YOU WANT TO be in the big city. Because we know the big city gets the big promotion, gets the bigger contract, get the big shoe contract. That is what happens. Unfortunately, there’s other cities in between that has a chance to pick us. YES WE’RE EXCITED THAT WE GOT DRAFTED IN the NBA and whatever city takes a chance on us, obviously we’re going to hold it down.” (Via @NoChillGilZero)

@JROMSMITH A good guy but three failing years out of the last four will get you fired at UNC.

The way they screw over black coaches is pathetic.

@WMCActionNews5 Stop it….the vast majority of Memphian s are perfectly fine with their presence. We need a couple of hundred of them on Beale Street on the weekend.

@The_DocHolliday @CBSSports @MiamiOH_BBall @MarchMadnessMBB I hope he mentioned Georgia s poor showing.

@CBSSports analyst Chris Walker dissed @MiamiOH_BBall and other "mid majors" after the Redhawks lost to Tennessee in @MarchMadnessMBB

@willydgtg901 Watch Arkansas and tell me anyone of those 8 boxes out like the Hogs.

Unless Penny was lying, we will know who is returning for next year by tomorrow Here’s how I see it: Must be back OR ELSE: Givens Thedford Would be nice: Bradshaw Majok Berry Ashton Won’t lose sleep, but still glad they’re back: Arop Whorton

@pupadhyaya_ ???????

Penny Hardaway says he offered all eight players from this past season's roster who are eligible to return for 2026-27 season the chance to do so. Players have until Friday to let Penny know if they'd like to be back with the Tigers.

@JROMSMITH Does Michigan State want him? Ohio State? Alabama? Arizona?

Small in size, but a Memphis native that can score.

@munzly Ed Scott has way more to prove than Penny!

Ed Scott on something Penny Hardaway said to him recently: "He said look, 'I don’t want to go out like this.' It’s one thing to not make the tournament, but it’s another thing to have this kind of season. The fact that he has that much pride ... it doesn’t keep his job, but it does mean something."

@pupadhyaya_ I admire Penny for his honesty. He just needs to recruit players who already play the brand of hoops he wants to play!

Penny on the Tigers' 2025-26 season: "It was a failure — for sure. I mean, you can't categorize it any other way. ... And I'm the head of that failure. (I) couldn't get the guys to buy in." But adds that "you can come back from failure."

@Devin_Walker2 Great . Get one of the best players from one of the worst teams in the league.

penny better go get this #7 dude on tulane with that soccer headband need him in tiger blue next year 😂 he cooked memphis twice

@munzly One of my favorite weeks…conference tournament week!

Memphis will play this Tulane team at 6 pm Wednesday in Birmingham.

@JROMSMITH Good to see, hopefully they can build on this. Defense and rebounding wins championships! If you’re not stopping penetration and boxing ou, you’re not going far.

Boy, not that many posts since the Tigers won. If they would have lost, you couldn't stop these folks from posting.

@JROMSMITH Jermaine, they’re just not fun to watch!

The reason media give for fans not going to Grizz games was the surburbans don't feel safe downtown. Before COVID, the lower bowl Tigers games was filled with nothing but surburbans. I guess the surburbans feel safe during Tigers games but dont come cause they want Penny gone

@ronsterd89 I held him and sang to him until his last breath, still not over it.

@oelma__ Sears catalog!

Before cell phones, what did people do on the toilet?

@gpatterson828 Going to the Hitching Post for take out chicken for dinner!

For me: going out to dinner.

@JROMSMITH Who is “they”?

I told ya'll once they had black people as the coaches and the athletic director at that University they were going to come after them.

@MrPitbull07 Wherever I travel, two things come up when Ivtell people I am from Memphis, TN! St. Jude and Elvis Presley…and amazingly, many of them are consistent donors to St. Jude!

He had seven dollars left in the world—enough to feed his family for a few days. He gave it all away. What happened next built a hospital that has saved over 10,000 children's lives. Detroit, Michigan. Late 1930s. The Great Depression. A struggling entertainer named Amos stood in a cold church with empty pockets and a pregnant wife at home. His real name was Amos Muzyad Yaqoob Kairouz. The world would later know him as Danny Thomas. At that moment, he wasn’t famous. He wasn’t successful. He had seven dollars to his name. Seven dollars to buy food. Seven dollars to keep the heat on. Seven dollars between his family and disaster. He walked into a Catholic church and stood before a statue of Saint Jude. The patron saint of lost causes felt appropriate. He reached into his pocket. Counted the money. And gave all seven dollars away. Then he made a promise. “Show me my way in life,” he prayed, “and I will build you a shrine.” It was a reckless vow for a man who couldn’t pay rent. Shortly afterward, his career began to change. Small radio gigs turned into bigger opportunities. Television followed. His sitcom, “Make Room for Daddy,” became a hit. The fear that once gripped him slowly faded as success took its place. But he never forgot the seven dollars. He never forgot the promise. By the 1950s, Danny Thomas was wealthy enough to build something impressive. A church. A statue. A monument of stone. Instead, he chose something radical. He decided his shrine would be a hospital for children with catastrophic illnesses—diseases that, at the time, were almost always fatal. He wanted families to receive treatment regardless of their race, religion, or ability to pay. No bills. No financial ruin. Just care. Experts told him it was impossible. Hospitals required payment. Charity alone wouldn’t sustain it. He would fail. He ignored them. In Memphis, Tennessee—during the era of segregation—he built a hospital with open doors to all children. Black and white patients were treated equally. It was bold. Quietly revolutionary. On February 4, 1962, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital opened. The policy was simple and remains unchanged: families never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food. When St. Jude opened, the survival rate for the most common childhood leukemia was about 4 percent. Today, it’s over 90 percent. Research breakthroughs developed there are shared freely with hospitals worldwide. What began as one desperate prayer became one of the world’s leading pediatric research institutions. Danny Thomas died in 1991 and was buried on the hospital’s grounds. Every day, doctors and families walk past his resting place on their way to save children’s lives. Seven dollars became a global mission. A hopeless cause became hope. He gave everything when he had nothing. And thousands of children are alive today because he kept his promise.
