Memphis Grizzlies guard Quincy Pondexter has certainly found an interesting way to get over a devastating loss to the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals.
On Wednesday, two days after the Grizzlies were eliminated from the playoffs, Pondexter took to Twitter with a special request.
Who won Miss Tennessee this year?

And in case you were wondering, Pondexter didn't simply want to write Miss Tennessee a congratulatory letter.
Now that season is over I need 2 find a gf “@chrisvernonshow: Offseason...RT @quincypondexterWho won Miss Tennessee this year?”

Of course, thanks to the power of Twitter, it wasn't long before Miss Tennessee responded.

Upon hearing the good news, Pondexter cut straight to the chase.

@quincypondexter you got it! We've got an audience waiting apparently!

Pondexter, a bench player who averaged around 21 minutes-per-game this season, came on strong in the playoffs. He scored in double figures in three of the Grizzlies' four games against the Spurs, and proved himself as a stabilizing force off the bench.
And, apparently, Pondexter's hot streak didn't end when Memphis was eliminated from the playoffs.
Hahaha!! “@johnhollinger: @quincypondexter with the ultimate heat check.”
