Justin Kubatko: Jaren Jackson Jr. is the the youngest player in @memgrizz history to record a 40-point game (age in years-days): 20-089 Jackson (tonight). 21-361 O.J.

It’s been 17 years since Bryant “Big Country” Reeves hung up his gigantic sneakers and called it a career. The centre spent six years in Vancouver, and came away from the experience as disenchanted with the game of basketball as nearly everyone else that endured the disastrous Grizzlies franchise. After a 100-95 home loss to the Houston Rockets on Apr. 14, 2001, he took his $60 million and disappeared.
Finding Big Country will have its world premiere on Sunday, Sept. 30 at the Vancouver Playhouse before screening twice more in October. At the time of this writing, tickets remain available only for the final showing, on Wednesday, Oct. 10.

Dennis Scott, Patrick Ewing and Oliver Miller all put on pounds. But it was Kemp who became the puffy face of the NBA lockout. “The franchise had a desire to have a superstar,” retired Cavs broadcaster Joe Tait said of Kemp, who signed a renegotiated deal worth $100 million after joining the Cavs. “But if your star begins to look more like Jupiter than Mercury, then you have a problem.”
