Some are learning to cook. Some are cleaning closets. Some are building 2,000-piece puzzles. The NBA hiatus has players trying to figure out what they like to do when they're not playing hoops.

Their biggest stars are too young to drink, their GM once was an intern at a law firm and their coach has the team playing kickball in practice. No wonder the Grizzlies are the NBA's 'it' team.
