Grizz Girls don’t do the trick; grannies called upon
Don’t be mistaken. The Memphis Grizzlies do have a dance squad. They are the Grizz Girls. But apparently they don’t entertain the crowd enough. That’s where grandparents come into play.
From the Grizzlie’s Web site:
This energetic bunch of ladies and gentlemen are over fifty and fabulous but don’t let their age fool you. To this energetic bunch, age is just a number and there’s still plenty of time left on their shot clocks. Our grannies and grandpas entertain fans at Grizzlies home games like no other group can.
The team is holding auditions for new grannies and grandpas who want to shake their broken hips and prosthetic legs at Grizzlies’ home games.
And you know what? This is brilliant! Although we approve of most NBA cheer squads, there’s not many things in life that are better than watching a group of men and women who are 50 years old and older, doing the Soulja Boy dance.
