Cool little article talking about Van Exel and Penny and how they joke about their playing days and now golf together.
Can't remember where I heard the story, but supposedly Van Exel was walking around inside the Pyramid before a game(I think this was back when he was still playing in the NBA or had just recently started coaching and the Grizzlies were playing home games there).

He starts talking shop with some of the media guys and yucking it up before the game. Then he drops something like "Man! I owned this place. My jersey should be in those rafters for everything I did in this building."
