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.
The Grizzlies normally save growl towels for the playoffs. But in this strangest of NBA seasons, the next eight games may be the closest thing.
