Quincy Pondexter's Memphis Grizzlies were unceremoniously swept from the NBA playoffs earlier this week, but it looks like the third-year pro has found a pretty solid way to ease into the offseason.
He recently scored a date with Chandler Lawson. But perhaps you know the blond bombshell better by another name: Miss Tennessee.
And how did Pondexter get his shot? Twitter, of course.
It all started, as romance so often does, with a simple question:
Who won Miss Tennessee this year?— Quincy Pondexter (@QuincyPondexter) May 29, 2013
To which Chandler replied:
@quincypondexter hi! Heard you were looking for me? #gogrizz— Chandler Lawson (@MissTN2012) May 29, 2013
At this point the Grizzlies' radio analyst stepped in to play a little wingman for Pondexter. Chandler, it turns out, was feeling his vibe.
“@jon_roser: Man there is nothing funnier than @quincypondexter mackin on @misstn2012 on twitter” I'm lovin' it! And yes, totally single!— Chandler Lawson (@MissTN2012) May 29, 2013
So Pondexter made his move to seal the deal:
Oh totally single? Ditto ... Date? Lol @misstn2012— Quincy Pondexter (@QuincyPondexter) May 29, 2013
And a beautiful connection was created:
@quincypondexter you got it! We've got an audience waiting apparently!— Chandler Lawson (@MissTN2012) May 29, 2013
There you have it. Can Pondexter and Chandler's love stand the test of time? Give us your take in the comments.
