Beale Street Bears was invited onto “Louisville Sports Live” on 93.9 ESPN Radio “The Ville” in Louisville on Wednesday to discuss the Memphis Grizzlies, Russ Smith, and more.

On Wednesday, July 29th, 2015, Beale Street Bears was invited onto the “Louisville Sports Live” radio show in Louisville, Kentucky on 93.9 “The Ville,” which is ESPN Radio’s Louisville channel.

Louisville Sports Live most importantly wanted to know more about the Memphis Grizzlies’ Russ Smith, a former University of Louisville NCAA Champion, and his future with the Grizz.

Louisville is a city that is primarily a college sports town; therefore, its sports fans do not know each and every detail and happening of the professional ranks. Being as the Memphis Grizzlies have an abundance of players that are former college basketball players deriving from top collegiate programs, The Ville’s audience on Tuesday could relate with quite a few Grizz players.

Discussed in the on-air interview included the following topics:

  • Russ Smith and his future with the Memphis Grizzlies, his summer league performance, and what can be expected from him in the upcoming 2015-16 season.
  • Nick Calathes’ demise with the Grizzlies.
  • Vince Carter‘s production in the 2014-15 season and what he can give Memphis’ young guys.
  • What do the Memphis Grizzlies need most next season? Can “Russdiculous” provide it?
  • Could Russ Smith have slowed Stephen Curry in the NBA Playoffs?
  • What is team depth looking like for the Grizz as of right now?
  • And much more!
