MEMPHIS – Giving as much time as he could, Kyle Anderson did everything in his power to make sure no one in the group left disappointed.
So he posed for more pictures.
He embraced dozens of hugs.
He lingered and laughed.
And then, Anderson lingered and laughed some more. At one point, a Grizzlies’ security staffer approached Anderson to inform him that he was running late for the team’s pregame meeting less than an hour before tip-off of that day’s game against the New York Knicks.
Anderson eventually pulled himself away from the dozens of relatives, friends and supporters gathered at Madison Square Garden back in February to see the New Jersey native make his lone visit to face the Knicks.
