Shane Battier Workout Video
Remember when Shane Battier played for the Grizzlies and it seemed like he was the hardest-working player and the only player that maximized his talent? Well, I caught up with Battier (AKA I filmed him without his knowledge) during his pregame routine before a game against the Warriors in Oakland. It turns out Battier has the most methodical workout (of the players I saw, including T-Mac, whose workout consists of shooting threes from the top of the key).
Here's Battier Shooting the Shane Battier Memorial Baseline Jumper:
I tried to get Shane Battier to sign page 45 of The Book of Basketball, but I didn't catch him before he returned to the locker room. Also, I was told by security that players would not sign a "hard" object like a book. Apparently, books pose an injury threat NBA players. The security guard did not see the comedy in this.
Here's Battier practicing his elbow jumper:
Here's Battier practicing his left-handed jump hook. See if you can spot Luis Scola:
And here's T-Mac, a few months before the Rockets trade him and/or banish him from the team:

Seems like you didn't have enough patience to wait for Tracy to make at least one three pointer.
This seems like a pretty liberal use of the phrase "rival" by the Commercial Appeal headline writing department:
"Grizzlies hold on to upset rival Mavericks"
I noticed that as well. I was also curious about the CA's use of the word Analysis in today's article:
Analysis: Grizzlies shake off slow start to produce success, camaraderie
