Chris Herrington has covered the Memphis Grizzlies, in one way or another, since the franchise’s second season in Memphis, while also writing about music, movies, food and civic life. As far as he knows, he’s the only member of the Professional Basketball Writers Association who is also a member of a film critics group and has also voted in national music critic polls for Rolling Stone and the Village Voice (RIP). He now splits his time between Minneapolis-St. Paul, where his wife works, and Memphis.
“Across eight summer league games and three preseason games, fans who tune in for these ramp-up competitions have seen Cam Boozer’s wide, precocious skill set. And they’ve also gotten a glimpse of his steadiness.”
