A song that was made famous by Marc Cohn titled Walking In Memphis, sees the new guard balling for the Tennessee team.  The speedy Allen Iverson just a few weeks ago signed a one year contract with the Memphis Grizzlies.  AI will soon play for his fourth NBA team over the course of his career.  He started with the Philadelphia 76ers, then went out west to the Denver Nuggets, and last year he was traded to the Detroit Pistons for Chauncey Billups, and the Memphis Grizzlies is his latest endeavor.

It is rumored that Iverson does not want to relinquish his role as a starter and Memphis will fit that bill.  Quite surprisingly though, the Grizzlies are an up-and-coming team, and whether AI will push the franchise to the Playoffs, is extremely unknown even with them acquiring Allen and a L.A. Clipper Zach Randolph.  The spunky Iverson will do his best though, we all know that, and hopefully he can propel the team into a Playoff spot in the 2009-2010 season.

Lebron James, arguably one of the best basketball players in the game today is appearing in a new documentary coming out on October 2nd of this year called More Than A Game.  This movie will not be widely available and will be shown in a limited theater release in select markets.

More Than A Game is a documentary that follows NBA superstar LeBron James and four of his talented teammates through the trials and tribulations of high school basketball in Ohio, and Lebron James journey to fame in professional sports.  The approximate film length is around 1 hour and 45 minutes.  The film is Rated PG for mild language and incidental smoking.

Despite Denver losing Dahntay Jones the rough and tough defender, the Nuggets did re-sign the backup point guard Anthony “AC” Carter this week.  Carter is a key component in Denver’s arsenal as he supplies consistent and steady play to the bench players lineup.

Anthony Carter has been shuffled around to many teams over the course of his 10 year career so far including the Miami Heat, Minnesota Timberwolves, San Antonio Spurs and his current stint with the Denver Nuggets.  In his career accomplishments so far, Carter is averaging 5.2 points per game, 4.1 assists per game and 2.2 rebounds per game.  It is nice to see he is finally appreciated for his talented skills he displays on a regular basis by getting re-signed by the up-and-coming Nugget franchise.
