I'm going to show my nephew Zach Randolph highlights. My 9 year old nephew is about 160, 5'5. He may not grow as Tall as the men on our side of the family(all of us 6'3 and over)but he's got the body for basketball and football and zbo is his build. And zbos game is just so fluid and that's what I want to teach my nephew. I feel like his size and athleticism would make him a better pf than a te or de like everybody wants him to be. He has long arms. If you watch zbo, he gets inside of you first in the post up, then determines how much space he needs to shoot. I want my nephew to see that part of the game
@@gabrielr.johnsoniii2067 This roster team relatively has a lot of capable 3pt shooters. It was really evident in their rematch in 2013 WCF that they need shooters.
@@sakamoto8354 the Spurs made sure they will get their revenge... Honestly, this series lost by the Spurs is quite embarassing but atleast they bounce back after this with 3 consecutive WC Finals appearances, back to back Finals appearances and won a title in 2014 Edit: Trading George Hill for Kawhi Leonard is one of the best moves the Spurs did and also one of the worst when they traded him in 2019
When the 8th seed beats the 1st seed, it means that the Western Conference was really strong this season 2011. I'm happy to see Randolph went from bad guy in Portland, to a Franchise Player, with Memphis.
Usually it’s due to an injury, like giannis, d-rose, this year and this series ginobili went out before it started. I loved the grizzlies during this era but that injury def gave them the better team.
@@mattkhannaDuncan also had bone on bone knee which is why his numbers hit a bigger drop in the 2010-2011 season than any season up to that point outside of his last 2. At the time there was a legitimate question if Duncan was going to retire soon because of all the knee injuries that had been going on for a few years up to that point
@@geraldyin5913 what?? They didn't even win the title in 2012 and lost in WCF, what are you even smoking?? Then in 2013 WCF, they got their revenge against Memphis
Mane this was a beautiful time to be a Memphian we had arguably one of the best underdogs that era . It suckes we never made it far but to make the play offs those years was something to witness especially if you were able to go see the games live the energy in the fed ex forum was unmatched idc what city you put us up against you feel that Memphis energy . Not to mention that series where we went triple OT against prime KD harden and Westbrook even though we lost that game was crazy nobody expected it to go triple OT and no fans left the stands
One of the best players and PFs of all time, not talked about enough due to Dirk and TD in the same era but Zach was no joke. Shame he never got a ring!
i CANT WAIT to see what the grizz do this year. i get the honor of bein able to watch every game on fox sports tennessee.oh yea baby. all these small market whiny owners need to learn a little something from what grizz has done in the past 3-4 years. they are assembled perfect. excellent rebounder and post player in zbo, a "true" center whos not afraid to bang and can shoot well, a great 2 guard defender who can finish at the rim, a superstar wing player, and a great young PG. bring the playoffs
i really hope zbo gets back into form before the playoffs. if he can play this year like he did last year in the playoffs, it would honestly not suprise me if the grizz went to the finals this year. i think they would have beat OKC and the mavs last year with rudy. all we were lacking was play making on the perimeter, which is what rudy brings. and plus we are deeper this year. cunningham had been a GREAT addition and mo speights has had alot of good games too.
Not trying to make excuses but Manu playing with a broken arm effected us in this series and having no effective bigs outside of Tim hurt as well .. that’s why playing Tiago spitter was a huge factor in us getting the edge against them ., why pop didn’t play him in this series still haunts me
@@muggamillstv3439 it all adds up for sure 👍🏻 It's inevitable when you have a dynasty level team that injuries are going to short change you eventually
@@muggamillstv3439 I am a Spurs fan but not gonna lie, this one is one of the most embarassing loss in Spurs franchise history... The good thing is that after this, they bounce back big time with 3 consecutive WCF appearances, 2 back to back Finals appearances and won a title in 2014... They could have crumbled after this L but they stay put and able to stay relevant till 2017 where Zaza ruined everything for what could have been for the new era of Spurs... Yes, we got Victor Wembanyama right now and he is a great cornerstone to lead but honestly, had Kawhi Leonard not get hurt in 2017, I would have like our chances to add to the ring counts by then... Considering Kawhi won in 2019, honestly, had the Spurs not traded him, he would have played it out for the Spurs and won them their 6th championship and maybe the relationship could have been fixed... Or maybe not, but still, getting our 6th would have been much better
Here bc the 8 seed Grizzlies just beat the Jazz in Game 1. Imagine if history repeats itself exactly ten years later. Grizzlies are almost always a tough out in the playoffs, and this year is no different.
Didn’t realize how dedicate Randolph became after his Portland days .. after watching Portland highlights and this you can see how much better shape he was in
@SamuelMoralesJr another reason they lost is because the Thunder clogged the paint and dared the Grizzlies to shoot. it worked most of the time except when it counted..in game 7, the Grizz couldnt buy a shot and OKC clogged the paint..everytime Zach or Marc touched the ba ll they were double/triple teamed.
@ilikeeggs100 100% agreed...im not sure people saw what i seen but randolph played the PG position droping dimes, and facing up doing fadaway rainbow jump shots..his ball handling is better then most PF look at overated perkins and his butter fingers....lol..
I remember my buddies and I had a basketball pool for these playoffs. I was the only person who guessed Grizzlies in 6 that year. Ended up winning the whole pool the rest of the way because of that 1 guess.
@SamuelMoralesJr he is slow not athletic has no handle and is old gah why does he even play ........oh wait he avg 20/10 against the best players/teams in the world
Zach Randolph had such a unique game man
Unique body too
Here yet again after watching Z-Bo's jersey retirement. Blue collar legend
This was the Grit & Grind Era coming out party. Legendary Team man...
I have so much respect for his game
BEST PF IN THE NBA
My favorite guy in the NBA
+Harry D. Straight Up.
Harry D. My favorite too! Bully ball!!
Happy retirement to our favourite baller!

Zach's tenure with the Grizzlies tells us it's possible to change a person's character and mindset.

So damn glad Zach finally found a home in Memphis. Hopefully, Marc will end up feeling the same way after this season.
it’s JA’s city now
You’re old man
Time flies
@@lucasruss0953 after ten years bro chill 😂
@@lucasruss0953 It's JA's hood to be exact. HAHAHAHA
Draymond Green shivers just the thought of playing against Zach.
zach randolph's post moves are solid.
Couldn't go right ever. But awesome player
Randle needs to take notes and stop jacking up 3s while being heavily contested
I'm pretty sure Z-BO single-handedly pushed Antonio McDyess into retirement after the straight up abuse he gave him this entire series
Nothing is like watching early 2010s basketball. Especially when the break music plays. It's just classical.
It really was something special. The west was amazing and the East was good Celtics, knicks, pacers, bulls,hawks. those teams hated each other.
"Mamma there goes that man" hits different😤😤😤😤😤
Ugh I miss the 2000s life and sports were perfect
Last of a dying breed. Absolutely unstoppable
I miss Zach Randolph he's my all time favorite Grizzly
I was at this game it was an experience I will never forget
he reminds me of the old guys at the gym who were fat and not athletic at all, yet when they ball they score points and rebound
What's funny is z bo used to be athletic... ...yeah..
underrated
If I'm Julius randle I would model my game after Zach Randolph
ray rudis 100%. And he’s more athletic too, he’s killing it for NO.
Year 2021, Julius is shining for the Knicks 🗣️
Julius Randle, Zion and Zach are like triplets
For real.
@@justinterry7853 Z-Bo's game is light years ahead of anyone you mentionned dude
he is so good and he so underated they just beat the best team in the nba they should be a good conterder this season
One of the greatest moments of my life.
Best old school power forward
Zach Randolph vs. Dirk Nowitzki in the 2011 WCF would had been epic 🔥
Yea but tbh there was no stopping Dirk that year
Future Hall-of-Famer. Plain and simple.

Miss the grit and grind grizzlies
I miss these times 😭
2009-2013 was a classic time. Everytime I heard the break music and a commentator shortly recap the game... Its just ugh nothing like it anymore.
1:38 in the video… when Whoop Dat Trick was just an in game beat!
he is a true grizzly n an old skool player 1:07

I loved this team z bo my second favorite PF after sheed wallace
watching randolph and nowitzki highlights is practically porn
This guy gets it
Tim Duncan is about 35 here
Still surprised at how Randolph, 30, just played such a legendary series against the Spurs + TD21 🤯

no one can use their body like Z-Bo can. He isn't athletic, no explosion to speak of.
@ilikeeggs100 Zach Randolph wasn't shut down by team defense either, he was just played well one on one.

I've admire him from day 1 !!! Zach Da Spurs Killa !!! :D
goat..period
Zbo, Gasol, Tony Allen damn that Defensive team Grit and Grind Memphis was sure tough

Barbecue chicken every time big Randolph was just to strong for em 💯
Z-Bo is a beast
Randolph in his peak
G.O.A.T
if only they have traded for Kawhi in the next season. maybe rudy gay for kawhi pick
Yes Zach Randolph was getting doubled. And yes Tim Duncan was guarding him. Lollll
Zac was killing Antonio McDice in this game lol.
i remember this... lol wasn't zach randolph lowkey high af around this time?
Video length is 9:01 😎
Why did the Grizzlies changed their uniforms and court for?!
Hmm is it me but it seems that the spurs tend to get finished off by southpaws? Year before by dragic, now z-bo
ZBO is the modern day version of "BOB LANIER"😊
@balltillifall88 and now they have rudy back!
Memphis was so special
how is his career high only 31 when hes had many seasons where hes averaged 20+
playoff career high
+bleek jones ahh OK that makes much more sense

8th Memphis Grizzlies
He isnt fat he is built
real baby shaq!
this guy know where he uses his body!
Who’s here from the pod
Im bout to make a Zbo build on 2K
I play jus like that jus didn’t have the height
what about melo?
Spurs underestimated them.
Why he gave that kid his sweaty headband ?
