The Jim Murray Memorial Foundation (JMMF), an organization dedicated to furthering the educations of aspiring journalists, will welcome this year's class of "Murray Scholars" to Los Angeles for a check presentation ceremony on Dec. 1 at Staples Center during the Los Angeles Lakers vs. New Orleans Hornets halftime at center court.
"I am so grateful to the Lakers organization for its ongoing support of the JMMF,
and for spotlighting our Murray Scholars during this Lakers' 50th season in LA.
Jim Murray traveled with the Lakers in those early years, and wrote hundreds of columns on the Lakers, from Jerry West and Elgin Baylor to Shaq and Kobe," said Linda McCoy-Murray, widow of the late, great Los Angeles Times sports columnist. "Our hope is that these bright young minds will carry on the spirit of Jim Murray in their writings for generations to come."
