Ryan Hollins currently exists on the fringe of the NBA. Since 2012 he's played on a string of contracts one year or shorter. After spending last season with the Kings, he didn't get a guaranteed deal this offseason. Instead, the Grizzlies brought him in for training camp and preseason before waiving him in late October. He latched onto the Wizards for a month in December; they waived him to make some room.
Why the Grizzlies call Ryan Hollins ‘Booty Call’
He’s earned the nickname.

Since then, Hollins has returned to Memphis three times. The Grizzlies, who have been ravaged by injuries, signed Hollins three more times: on December 29 (he was waived on January 7), on January 21 (he played two 10-day contracts and then became a free agent around February 11) and finally on March 2. He’s still with the team, which is appropriate considering half the roster is made up of D-League call-ups.
That leads us to this.
