From Al Green singing the anthem at a playoff game to homegrown rap stars such as Yo Gotti and Al Kapone hyping up the home crowd, from Justin Timberlake’s minority ownership stake to the legion of local musicians who have performed national anthems, halftime shows and as nightly “house band” guests, the Memphis Grizzlies have a close to double-decade long relationship with Memphis music.

The team will pay tribute to Stax Records and late Stax superstar Isaac Hayes with a Nike “City Edition” alternate uniform.
