Memphis: More Than Just Graceland (But Graceland is Pretty Sweet Too)
Calling Memphis the Sporting Capital of the South? Well, maybe not quite. But hold on to your barbecue forks, sports fans, because Memphis packs a punch when it comes to teams to cheer for! From hardwood heroes to gridiron gladiators (and yes, even some soccer superstars), Memphis has something to get your adrenaline pumping year-round.
Let's Hear it for the Home Team: The Memphis Grizzlies
The undisputed kings of Memphis sports are, of course, the mighty Memphis Grizzlies. These NBA champions-in-waiting (okay, okay, they're still working on it) bring the heat to the FedExForum hardwood from October to April. Witness Ja Morant defy gravity and Dillon Brooks drain threes that would make Steph Curry jealous. Grizzlies games are electric, the fans are loud (in a good way!), and the atmosphere is contagious.
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
