Zach Randolph involved in car accident

Memphis Grizzlies forward Zach Randolph is trying to find his rhythm after coming back from knee surgery and missing a good portion of this NBA campaign. Randolph is a walking double-double and is slowly finding his way as the Grizzlies try to secure the fourth seed in the Western Conference NBA playoffs.

What Randolph didn’t count on was being involved in a car accident that left him with a sore back by his own admission. Randolph did not participate in the team’s shootaround and replied to a text message that asked if he was ok.

Randolph replied: “Yes. My back is just a little sore.”


A preliminary Memphis Police Department report stated that Randolph was driving his 2011 Dodge Charger westbound on the 385 exit ramp toward 240 when his vehicle was struck in the rear by a 2000 Honda CRV. There were no visible injuries on the scene and no one was transported in an ambulance. The driver of the Honda received a citation for Failure to Maintain a Safe Lookout.


The Grizzlies are battling with the Los Angeles Clippers for the fourth seed and home court in the first round. They’ll need Randolph at nearly full strength to make a run. Even with him trying to find his rhythm that would be good enough for the Grizzlies. If the back is going to be a problem, it could be a first round flameout for Memphis.

Sam Young Scores At Wrong Basket

For the second time this year an NBA player has had a hand at giving away two points. First it was Darko on a jumpball and now this.

The Memphis Grizzlies’ Sam Young tried to grab a missed shot by the Philadelphia 76ers Louis Williams. The ball caromed off of his hand and went through the basket.

Iverson and Memphis. They’re meant for each other.

We’re barely two weeks into the NBA season and once again Allen Iverson has committed career suicide. Unable to make it with the Detroit Pistons because  he didn’t want to come off the bench,  the same thing is happening with the Memphis Grizzlies. I’m not gonna excuse the Grizzlies from any of this mess because they were foolish for signing him. It’s was clearly a bad move for a young team and they should have known this was coming.Management saw dollar signs and tickets sales. Now the Grizzlies are dangerously headed toward team knucklehead with Iverson leading the charge. He’s now chirping about having to come off the bench. I understand he’s had a great career and all but he needs to step aside and let the youngsters play and go to the mentor role, if that’s possible for him. Iverson doesn’t realize it’s a “what have you done for me lately?” kind of business and for the last year he hasn’t done too much except complain about his role on the teams he’s been on. Everyone understands you are a great player, have an outstanding body of work, and still have something left to give. But at this point, he would be better served coming off the bench, more for a contender than a chronic rebuilder. As much as I hate to say it, OJ Mayo is better than him and Rudy Gay is better than him, even though he has that magician act going on every once in a while. He’s not gonna lead this team anywhere except the bottom of the standings. What does it say about him if he’s complaining already. He’s selfish. I can understand when he says the negative about me sells more than the positive, but you keep putting yourself in a negative light. Last season he sabotaged his own career when he couldn’t make it work in Detroit. I understand there were some behind the scenes action that didn’t make the situation any better. Thing is, the Pistons had the ultimate team concept there, and he couldn’t make it work there. That was the best situation he’ll probably ever have and he blew it. I can understand when he was in Philadelphia he didn’t have the best talent around him. In Detroit he played with a team that was a regular at the Eastern Confernce finals. He couldn’t compromise. Now he goes to Memphis because no one wants him, because he can’t compromise. He still has that characteristic about him. After this he’ll be the Terrell Owens of the NBA. No one will want a piece of him. I hate to see him go out like this, but i’m afraid this is the final Answer.
