Made famous by Elvis and Graceland, and infamous for the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Memphis has been on something of a roll, sports-wise, scoring the Grizzlies basketball team last year and welcoming new resident Jerry West, the ex-LA Lakers player and NBA legend who is team president for the transplanted Memphis franchise.
