It was the first week in May, and the inaugural Grizz Gaming team was landing at LaGuardia Airport in New York City to play our first game in team history. As we filed through the airport and looked for our sprinter van ride into the city, our power forward Antonio Saldivar, a.k.a. UniversalPhenom, turned to me and said, “We really just flew all the way to New York City to play a video game?”
Did we ever. And it wasn’t just a one-time trip. This was the first of what would be 16 trips from Memphis to New York to, yep, play video games.
