Baneville: To Desmond, his great-grandmother meant everything
Special report: Part III of three in a series about the Grizzlies’ star shooting guard
“She raised me when she didn’t have to,” Desmond Bane said of his great-grandmother, Fabbie Bane. “She instilled all of my morals, taught me how to work hard and taught me how to be a good person. She gets the credit for everything.” (Mark Weber/The Daily Memphian file)
Fabbie Bane taught others how to be loving. For her great-grandson, Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane, that meant everything.
