Calkins has been named the best sports columnist in the country five times by the Associated Press sports editors, but still figures his best columns are about the people who make Memphis what it is.
Ja Morant and the Grizzlies assembled at FedExForum for media day. It’s the team’s 22nd season in Memphis. And it should be a blast.
