Basketball can unite us in a way that most other things simply cannot.
Memphis, in particular, has been a place where this is true. In a city that has experienced so much division over the decades, basketball has given us a place where all people of every race and walk of life can join hands and become a family. The barriers break down, because we all have one thing in common: a love of basketball.
Memories are at the foundation of this unity. When you really think about it, there’s nothing quite like seeing a basketball clear the net as the buzzer sounds.
