This is the 14th year this event has taken place. The home team took on the New Orleans Pelicans in a nationally-televised game on ESPN.
Each year the events centered around Dr. King’s legacy draws thousands of visitors to the city. The year we spotted Sports Journalist Stephen A. Smith & NBA Player Anthony Davis.
Also along with the duo was our very own Mike Conley. Conley and Davis followed Smith through the museum as he talked about the history behind the man and how it shaped basketball.
