All-Star week has arrived, and Zach Randolph is in a giving mood (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/All-Star-week-has-arrived-and-Zach-Randolph-is-;_ylt=AvI3KSdmsSnE1jInMNeXdp68vLYF?urn=nba,217953)

And, no, we're talking 'bout those two assists per game (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/3531/career;_ylt=AmVo1gHfSuXaf7.BtZkStu6bPKB4) he's been servin' up.

The Grizzlies forward is inviting the city of Memphis to help him celebrate being selected as a 2010 All-Star reserve by giving away 500 tickets (http://www.nba.com/grizzlies/news/randolph_allstar_ticket_giveaway-100205.html) to the Grizzlies' final game before the All-Star break — Tuesday, Feb. 9 against the Atlanta Hawks (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/mem/schedule).


"The nine-year NBA veteran and first time All-Star purchased the tickets to hand out to Grizzlies fans to thank them for the support that they've shown as he's helped the Grizzlies rebound from a 1-8 start to climb to their current 26-22 record.

'The fans' support throughout the city of Memphis has really helped me become an All-Star for the first time of my career, so I wanted to give something back and offer them the chance to watch us play one more time before the All-Star break,' said Randolph. 'I hope to represent the city and the people of Memphis as their All-Star and make them proud in Dallas next weekend.'"

Randolph will be distributing tickets on a first come, first serve basis on Monday, Feb. 8 in the Grand Lobby of FedExForum starting at 4:30 p.m. He'll also personally recycle any unused basketballs you may have.

From the DUI on his way out from the Clippers...he sure has resurrected himself quite well. He made mince-meat out of Gasol and Bynum last week and has really made the Grizz solid. Way to go, Z-Bo...

Always has been one of the most talented player in the league. Hope he keeps this attitude with him for the duration of his life.

good for him. He's been great and hopefully he keeps playing like this cause i believe the griz can get higher than an 8th seed in the west.

Nice to see zach starting to mature on and off the court.. however even as a blazer he had a good side that wasn't seen. My friend asked him for a autograph and when zach couldn't find a pen he went to the airport store and bought one so he could.

This is like the year of the cancer players making positive strides..

Randolph is a team-oriented all-star, Jamal Crawford has found a role as an elite 6th man and contributing to his team, and Corey Maggette is actually playing team-efficient basketball this year..

Who saw this one coming? Zach's turnaround this season came completely out of left field. I'm not sure if this is temporary or he's finally grown up and it's a permanent change, but it's really refreshing to see him finally get his shit together.

Ill fess up. Not me thats for sure. When Memphis signed ZBO and Iverson to mentor Gay and OJ Mayo, I was literally in tears laughing out loud. Iverson proved me right but Zach made me eat crow. I thought that guy was just going to make matters worse in Memphis.
