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.
