RIP Lorenzen Wright (1975-2010)
Yesterday, the body of former Memphis Tiger and Grizzlie basketball star Lorenzen Wright was found after him being missing for over a week. There were so many different reports and stories that I didn’t know what to believe. Finally, yesterday evening it was confirmed that the body was indeed his. To read more on the story, go here. The story is still developing, so I won’t go into any details.
This saddens me so much. I remember watching him as a kid playing for the University of Memphis (and of course having a huge crush on him). He and his family would also visit ny church years ago. I hate the fact that the media focused on his financial woes instead of his accomplishments. The newscasters stood outside of his ex-wife’s home, knocking on the door, while they were inside crying in obvious grief. I wish our city would and will show them some respect during this extremely difficult time. Not only was he a Memphis Tiger, Memphis Grizzly but he was a son, father, husband, brother and friend. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this difficult time of grief and that which is to come.
RIP to our hometown hero Lorenzen Wright. You will truly be missed, but you will never be forgotten. Rest in peace.
