The Memphis Grizzlies have signed veteran center Bismack Biyombo, the team announced on Thursday. While the terms of the deal were not disclosed, it was revealed that Biyombo signed a one-year contract worth $5 million deal with a guaranteed $1 million.

Selected seventh overall in the 2011 NBA Draft by the Charlotte Hornets (then known as Bobcats), Biyombo has played for Charlotte twice as well as the Toronto Raptors, Orlando Magic, and Phoenix Suns.

During his 799 games and 324 starts in the NBA, the 31-year-old center has averaged 5.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks over the course of his career.

Gunner's favorite movies are Pulp Fiction, Iron Man (just the first one), and every James Bond film ever made. He's learning TV and cinema and hoping to always enjoy movies as he does now.
