     Rudy Gay, a Memphis Grizzlies forward, hosted a game on Tuesday night. The game was just an exhibition game; nothing extremely serious. Roughly 6,000 fans came to the hosted game which occurred in the DeSoto Civic center. There was the blue team with LeBron James against the white team with Rudy Gay. The blue team won with 158-151. LeBron scored 43 points for the blue team and Rudy scored 45. The players played with shirts with the Nike logo that read "Basketball never stops". Rudy has an organization call Flight 22 Foundation. This foundation raises money for child education. The game did benefit the organization.
All the games to November's end has been canceled. I bet the basketball players are eager to play the game. I quote from the article that Rudy said, "'I wasn't at the meeting so I don't really know the newest of the new. But as of right now I'm still training and trying to stay in shape as if the season started tomorrow.'" I know Rudy is eager to play some basketball. I really do hope that the season can start at least by January 2012, but that is only my hope. For more information about the charity game, please go here.
