He will. Memphis won't beat them in a play in.
It just took them a double digit comeback to beat MEM in OT. And they'd have to win 2 in a row against MEM if POR stays the 9th seed. I'm not at all comfortable POR automatically wins the play-in from the 9th spot.

for a few reasons off the top of my head, black people being treated/called boy/son, and it was used in the 60s on signs during marches.

I don't think we've been playing bad defense on him either. Just tip the hat.

I thought the same initially, but apparently there is some significance to it:

The question "Am I not a man?" was brought up again during the Dred Scott decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in 1857.[3] During the Civil Rights Movement at the Memphis sanitation strike in 1968, "I Am a Man!" signs were used to answer the same question.[4] On trial for bringing his son back to Nebraska for burial, from a forced march to Oklahoma, in 1879 Ponca Chief Standing Bear spoke to Judge Dundy in his Omaha trial, "That hand is not the color of yours, but if I pierce it, I shall feel pain. If you pierce your hand, you also feel pain. The blood that will flow from mine will be the same color as yours. I am a man. God made us both." Standing Bear (and Native Americans) were granted habeas corpus meaning that they had status in the court and were indeed human beings.[5]
