Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and NBA stars Mike Conley, Pau Gasol, and Paul George appeared in this year's video tribute to the famed civil rights leader. On Saturday, Conley, the Grizzlies point guard, also visited the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis.

The museum was constructed around the remains of the Lorraine Motel, where King was assassinated in 1968. The wreath marks where King was standing when he was shot dead.
