On Jan. 29, the Memphis Grizzlies announce that Bryant "Big Country" Reeves is retiring. After a stellar career at Oklahoma State, the 7-foot tall center was the first player ever drafted by the expansion Grizzlies in 1995.

Grizzlies fans everywhere always suspected that Reeves had high blood-lard levels.
