NBA Love Notes

The Memphis Grizzlies Valentines Show That the Team Has Game on and off the Court

— February 15, 2012 — Lifestyle
The Memphis Grizzlies Valentines make the ferociously persistent team into a bunch of turtlenecking patsies (and it’s hilarious). While on the court, the Grizzlies are an underdog force that can strike from any angle at any moment. However, while off the court, the team has a much softer side that can be seen in their Valentine’s Day cards.

Valentine’s Day is the time to show the people you love that you truly care about them. What better way to say “I love you” than with the scruffy face of Grizzles’ center Marc Gasol as he whispers “Shhhh. You had me at tip-off?” If you truly want to be a romantic, your better option might be the dunkalicoius Rudy Gay card that reads, “Love is in the air. I know because I spend a lot of time up there.”

The Memphis Grizzlies Valentines are sure to make anyone’s heart pound out of love -- and fear of Mike Conley’s 3-point shot.
