Despite spending almost all of her life in Memphis, Madison Griggs knows a thing or two about long distance. She set the University of Memphis career 3-point record with 363 makes. Right now, she’s in Sweden, in her first season as a pro.
Griggs spoke to Swish Appeal about Memphis basketball, career milestones and establishing her legacy, as well as her own clothing brand, 96th & Madison. Some highlights from the conversation include:
On creating her own shots rather than having others create for her:
It comes naturally for me to create for myself nowadays. I do want to get in the rhythm of just catching and shooting and be able to make 40 percent of those [3-pointers], because I feel like those would be easier, but obviously, looking at my history, they’re not easier for me. So that is something that I have been working on since I’ve been [in Sweden]. Here, it’s just being ready to shoot, catching and shooting, because I know I can create and make it off the dribble anytime. Now I’m just focusing on being ready to shoot, because I have a great point guard who can get me as many shots as I want.
On whether she thinks her record 363 3s made for the University of Memphis will ever be broken:
Yeah, I think…
