Darius Washington Jr. said he got over the missed free throws that night.
"That's why I love the city of Memphis so much. My dad said 'let's go walk Beale Street.' And when I walked Beale, the love the people gave me was unbelievable."
Washington: "I'm not even a Memphian. I'm from Florida, and those people were showing me that love. I didn't even know what to say, the feeling it gave me was unbelievable. That's why I love that city to this day, I'll never forget it."
"It is fabulous to have coach that speaks his mind, says what he thinks, defends his players, defends his team, and defends his community."
- Dr. Rudd on coach
@Iam1Cent
DJ Stephens confirms with Greg and Eli on Sports 56 Middays that he will be signing with an NBA team this season, but cannot reveal who that is just yet. But it is a done deal.
@Iam1Cent
spoke with
@Greg_Gaston
and
@Eli560
at the Doug Barron's Courage Through Cancer about more news on the way:
"There could be more news. There definitely could more news. Tigers fans are excited. We're excited."
Tevin Carter (
@tevincarter_2
) tells Greg & Eli that he will enroll early at the University of Memphis. He plans to be on campus for the Spring semester.
Darius Washington Jr. talking about Penny Hardaway at Memphis:
"If I'm a high school recruit and Penny is talking to me, I'm definitely considering Memphis. Plus you've got Mike Miller with a couple championships. These aren't just your average coaches walking through the door."
Everyone at Sports 56 is saddened by the news of George Klein’s passing. GK was a friend to all of us at the station, and made many appearances on WHBQ through the years even after we went to sports. He’s a true Memphis legend. RIP GK.
Mike Conley is raving about coach Bickerstaff's "no nonsense" attitude and says that coach Bickerstaff can really take command of a locker room.
