Grizzlies Rookies Recreate Iconic NBA Photo

Memphis Grizzlies rookies Zach Edey and Yuki Kawamura have gained attention for recreating the iconic 1987 photo of NBA legends Muggsy Bogues and Manute Bol during their media day. Edey, measuring 7-foot-4, posed next to 5-foot-8 Kawamura, holding three basketballs to highlight their height difference. The original photo featured Bogues at 5-foot-3 and Bol at 7-foot-7, emphasizing an even greater height disparity. Muggsy Bogues himself responded positively to the recreation, sharing a laughing emoji on social media. While the Grizzlies' homage was well-received, some fans noted that no pair could quite replicate the unique legacy of Bol and Bogues. As the season approaches, both Edey and Kawamura look to make their mark in the NBA.
