          Justin Timberlake, impressed by the Memphis Grizzlies' 10-1 start, tweeted this Monday night:

          To which a Twitter user responded:

          Which was followed by:

          BOOM.

          And he's right! Timberlake was indeed born in Memphis, is part of the team's ownership group and has expressed his fandom before:

          So what would give someone the idea Timberlake isn't a Grizzlies fan?

          Probably just his "Hollywood" essence, no?

          Oh.

          (To be fair, that Los Angeles Lakers hat photo was taken in 2011, a year before J.T. bought his share of the Grizz. And who among us hasn't experimented rooting for other teams? Not this writer, of course, but you know, other people.)
