Biography
Richard Elmer "Joey" Dorsey is an American professional basketball player for the Rio Grande Valley of the NBDL. He was assigned to the Vipers by the National Basketball Association's Houston Rockets. He played college basketball for the University of Memphis Tigers. He is an interdisciplinary studies major. He is most famous for leading the Memphis Tigers to the 2008 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament championship game with Derrick Rose and Chris Douglas-Roberts during his senior year. During both his sophomore and junior years on the team, the Tigers went to the NCAA tournament's Elite Eight. During the 2007 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament, Dorsey famously called Ohio State center Greg Oden "overrated as a big man," said that Oden "might be as good as Joey Dorsey," and called himself Goliath and Oden the "the little man." Dorsey also predicted a 20 rebound game for himself. The Buckeyes defeated the Tigers by a score of 92-76 and Dorsey finished with zero points and just three rebounds. In fact, Dorsey was so overmatched during the game that he was not able to even attempt a field goal in the 19 minutes he was on the court. As terrible as he was on the offensive end, he was as bad or worse on the defensive end. Dorsey's defensive duty was to guard Oden. Oden shot 7 for 8 from the field for 17 points and also grabbed 9 rebounds. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joey_Dorsey
