Kinda a quiet news week for the Memphis Grizzlies, not much going on so I thought why not share some fun facts and positivity about a clear fan favourite

DID YOU KNOW?

  • C. Koloko did not start playing basketball at all until he was 12 years old, previously playing soccer/football. He would only play once every 2 weeks due to the lack of infrastructure and popularity for the sport in Cameroon. It wasn't until he was 15 that he truly started to take the sport seriously, and at 16 he joined the Basketball Without Borders program.

  • Christian K. is the youngest of 5 children, and the only boy!

  • CK is bilingual, speaking French & English

  • Despite being 7'1, Christian's parents only measure up to 5'7 (mom/mum) and 5'11 (dad)

  • I am not Christian Koloko

  1. 1. He’s officially not even a grizzly anymore, I appreciate him coming on those 10-days and contributing.

    2. We can’t just be throwing that legend word around like that. There’s probably only a few “Legends” to ever play basketball.

    3. You randomly posted a *did you know* about Christian KoloKo when 90% of grizzlies fans ever probably don’t know him, you sure you’re not him?

  3. Thanks, I needed this. With no news at all for the grizzlies this week, my cup hasn’t been full

    By anychance is Christian a part time crisis negotiator?

  4. My only disappointment here is that you didn’t take the opportunity to also add a French translation to this at the bottom. That’s for giving us some insight on the Man, the Myth & the Legend to liven up this slow newsweek.

  5. Sacre Bleu! I wished I knew this sooner. First learn about him was the game with him running to the lockers but I thought he was chasing the ball.
