Everyone celebrates Martin Luther King Jr. Day in their own way. Memphis Grizzlies reserve center Deyonta Davis chose to have a block party.
Deyonta Davis is our new favorite shot blocker
Davis recorded 5 emphatic blocks in the Grizzlies’ win over the Lakers on Monday.


Davis recorded five blocks to go with 10 points and five rebounds in just 13 minutes off the bench in the Grizzlies’ 123-114 win over the Lakers on Monday. Every one of his blocks was memorable.

Just imagine if he starts getting some real, consistent playing time.
