Would be even better if BC was in his uniform and not street clothes

I’m a Griizzlies fan from/in Los Angeles. I also live a few blocks from Staples Center. All over DTLA, you’ll see Mamba Murals. Like there are dozens of them just in downtown. Some to LeBron also. One to AD (*the city doesn’t* ***dis****like him… just ambivalent*). Several with tributes to Laker legends like Magic and Kareem and Shaq. There’s even a massive, really impressive one of Kawhi across the street (*probably the only Clippers mural I can think of… LA’s kinda a “Fuck the Clippers” city, to be honest, though I usually go watch them play the Grizz when they’re in town*).
Last time I was in Memphis (*which was actually just before the season started*) I was surprised that I didn’t see any murals to Ja. Was I not looking in the right places? Is it not a thing people are doing there? I spent a fair amount of time down in the arts district near the Forum and love the area but it didn’t have the sort of art I’m used to seeing here.
Petition to get some local muralist to paint this somewhere? Because this picture is just a fucking vibe.

You don’t see murals or big displays like that not because we don’t love Ja or our Grizzlies. It’s more because we are a small city and we don’t do that. We have billboards (that are used for local businesses). We haven’t made a mural, but if we did, I would say it would need to be something that represents the Grizzlies’ Grit N Grind era which was my personal favorite Grizzly era. Anyways. I hope that sort of answers your concern.
Edit: Grizz fan in LA? Love it!

I may not be the biggest Z fan, but damn his joy for others when they do well/make a crazy dunk is infectious

Seeing Marcus Smart reaction had me hype as well. That dude wants to compete and he knows we can do that now
