By: Josh Kahane

Chris Wallace, General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations for the NBA Memphis Grizzlies, has been with the Grizzlies since 2007. His primary responsibilities include coordinating free agent signings, trades, and draft preparation. Before assuming the General Manager position with the Grizzlies, Wallace was the General Manager of the Boston Celtics for 10 seasons.

Though not himself Jewish, Wallace is a lifelong and avid supporter of the State of Israel where he visits often and leads missions for NBA players from across the league. In late 2010, Chris, accompanied by Allan Houston, Dwight Howard, and Omri Caspi, met in Israel with President Shimon Peres where Chris presented Mr. Peres with a personalized NBA Grizzlies jersey. Wallace is an ardent and active supporter of AIPAC.

Chris’s story of how he forged his lifelong connection with the State of Israel and its people is both extraordinarily entertaining and incredibly moving.A can’t miss experience!
