Forward, Memphis Grizzlies
“I have always wanted to use my platform to help as many people as I can. When I had the opportunity to help bring clean water to thousands of people across the world, I had to jump on board. Something as simple as clean water should not be a product of where you are born. That should be available for any human being on the planet and we are just trying to do our part to make that become a reality.”
Tolliver played basketball at Creighton University and was named first-team all MVC, a finalist for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS award, and to the Collegeinsider.com mid-major All-America team during his senior year.
