That symbiosis shattered in the s, when the Ku Klux Klan infiltrated the area. A mob formed outside the county jail that detained the trio, eventually beating them and dragging them from their cells.

Good white people and good black people. He remembers standing outside an apartment building as a teenager when a cop cruised past him in a car. The kids admitted that they needed a coach. Sturm offered his phone number. If they called back, it could be fun. If not, oh well. Zach Randolph was among that group of kids. Randolph rarely gets enough credit for his game, his positioning, his craftiness in the post.

And a lot of it is. But that belies the hours he spent honing that immaculate footwork, learning to glide almost like a ballroom dancer. His football career ended after two practices, when an offensive lineman pancaked him to the ground. Longtime friend Andrew Morrell remembers his team teasing Randolph because, despite being their tallest player, he could barely touch the rim.

One time when an opponent was shooting free throws, Randolph retreated to the basket on the other end, leaped up, briefly grabbed iron and crashed to the floor. Everyone glanced over to see a sheepish Randolph crumpled in a pile. Another time, the Untouchables were cruising to a blowout win and Sturm finally allowed Randolph to play point guard — something Randolph had begged him to do. Sturm sat in amazement as he watched him down popcorn, candy, and hotdogs and then dominate a game.

Smedley still remembers seeing Randolph for the first time, then asking around and hearing the same things. McPherson taught Randolph the four building blocks of the post — the up-and-under, the crossover, and a pivot that allows players to reverse momentum or continue forward. His idea was he was going to sell these and give some money to his mom. What do you have to say? Randolph missed the rest of his junior season, watching games in street clothes and kicking himself for what could have been.

But I told my mom I would go to college for a year. That was the best thing that I did. He went to class, did all of his stuff. They knew how to take baby steps developing, well, a baby. Sometimes, he even seemed younger than that — Randolph once asked year veteran Steve Kerr when the team would be off for Christmas break.

He also was repeatedly fined for not meeting his rookie weight requirement. He would just score on those guys at will on certain days when things were going well.

You could just see the potential even at that raw state that he was in. Randolph had made it to the NBA, and that meant his friends had made it, too. He wanted to be seen that way. Darnell Valentine spent four-plus years with the Blazers in the s and later became their director of player programs, making him almost overqualified to counsel young Z-Bo.

During that period when Zach was with Portland, it was kind of like Clint Eastwood: the good, the bad, and the ugly. They live and they die by their basketball. You live in a glass house. As the Blazers slowly unraveled and earned the collective ire of the city — eventually firing Mike Dunleavy and replacing him with respected assistant Mo Cheeks — Randolph, as he had his entire life, assumed the tendencies of his environment.

Kerr saw a terrible blend for Randolph or any young player — a veteran but immature team. Randolph was learning from the wrong people. He was in the midst of some dysfunction as a rookie.

Nick was dating a young lady named Summer at the time, and was skeptical about proposing.

It was his advice from Z-Bo that inspired him to take that leap. Two weeks later, Nick proposed to her at Disney World. Twitter user MSF says that Z-Bo inspired her to keep fighting when she had ovarian cancer with his never-quit attitude. Zach Randolph touched thousands of people in Memphis.

These are just a few of them. Hopefully their stories help people understand how one man came into a city and represented it, meanwhile never shying away from letting it represent him. Zach is and was was proud of Memphis, and he embraced the city in its entirety in a way that no player has ever been able to mimic: the culture, the people, the music, the community.

He was a player who nobody expected to succeed, who came to a city nobody expects to succeed, and somehow both of them did it together. Never before has somebody who was not originally been from Memphis understood Memphis as much as Z-Bo did; as much as he still does.
