Gasol Jersey Retirement a Reason for Happiness Despite Rough Season in Memphis (AUDIO)

FULL AUDIO from Marc Gasol #33 jersey retirement ceremony (4/6/24):

It wasn't quite a sellout, but one of the best crowds of the 2023-24 Memphis Grizzlies (17,794) came out to FedExForum to see Marc Gasol's #33 jersey retirement ceremony on Saturday night (4/6/24). The game before the ceremony was, well, much like the rest of the season. Final: Philadelphia 76ers 116 Memphis Grizzlies 96

Forget about the game. Indeed, the best part of losing a game like this one to the 76ers includes what fans are looking most forward to next with a likely pick in the top seven of the 2024 NBA Draft. This night was about Marc Gasol, along with his band of brothers in the "core four" including Mike Conley, Zach Randolph, and Tony Allen.

It was a special night in person at FedExForum, on 92.9 FM ESPN for the radio broadcast of the ceremony, and on Bally's TV. The Memphis Grizzlies should be proud of their presentations honoring Marc Gasol.
