Sometimes, life has a way of turning from bad to good in a matter of moments.

Take Memphis Grizzlies guard Quincy Pondexter for example.

On Monday, the Grizzlies were eliminated from the NBA Playoffs by the San Antonio Spurs, a bad moment, and by Wednesday, Pondexter was successfully courting reigning Miss Tennessee (Chandler Lawson) on Twitter, clearly a better moment.

Kudos to Pondexter for showing initiative as he inquired as to who she might be and when Lawson responded, he made his move:
