Lorenzen Wright R.I.P

Tragedy struck the Wright family in Memphis as they found the body of former Memphis Tiger and NBA player Lorenzen Wright last week. Police have yet to arrest any suspects but I hope this family finds the animals that murdered this father of three. When the three men with guns approached the ex-wife's house last week, her first thought should have been to notify the police. This is a huge loss to the Memphis basketball community but most importantly, the children lost their father to senseless violence. Let's all most these men are brought to justice soon.
