The owner of the Memphis Grizzlies is a man by the name of Robert Perra.
He left Apple, where he was an engineer, to become the founder and CEO of a relatively obscure but very important company called Ubiquity Networks.
They promise to, quote, democratize the internet.
They offer affordable, easy to use, high quality Wi-Fi equipment.
Routers and switches and radios and antennae with full local control and privacy.
More on why that matters in a minute.
And basically what Perra did is he helped spread internet connectivity to remote areas around the globe.
Back in 2012, one former member of Ubiquity's board of directors, the legendary investor Bill Gurley of Benchmark Capital, he tweeted that Robert Perra is, quote, the most successful entrepreneur in Silicon Valley that you don't know.
That's Robert Perra doing a Lou Gehrig impression.
The grindfather.
Yeah, Robert Pera wanted to make it very clear that he was the one bringing sexy back to Memphis, him and Zach Randolph.
I'm bringing sexy back.
So Robert Pera's Twitter avatar is a picture of Robert Pera shooting a basketball where I have to admit his form is f***ing incredible.
This guy's elbow couldn't be more in if he tried.
He looks like Dirk Nowitzki down to the shooting sleeve on his left arm showing he's not one of these noobs who thinks that you got to put the shooting sleeve on your shooting arm.
I mean, he's mid jump shot about to release.
Yes, and you can see some biceps in the photo as well.
September 9th, 2013.
Hey Grindfather at AA000G9, presumably Tony Allen, how about we play one-on-one in Memphis before training camps start?
I'll spot you a couple baskets to make it a game.
