    While the Memphis Grizzlies may be enduring a difficult season this year, there was a time where they were one of if not the most feared team in the NBA. They boasted one of the toughest and most skilled groundouts in the NBA with Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph. While their backcourt of Mike Conley and Tony Allen would terrorize the guards and wings of other teams. This Grizzlies teams was one of the most iconic of the 2010s and lived by a simple mantra, Grit and Grind…

    The fact that these Grizzlies were as competitive as they were for a pretty long time despite the ridiculous amount of boneheaded draft picks, trades, and signings by their front office is kind of impressive. If they even got half of those mistakes right, it's not far fetched to suggest that they would've at least made it to the Finals once.

      I mean they get Kawhi(and alternate version Kawhi finds a way to shoot) and Harden like they might honestly be a dynasty. Gasol, Zbo, Kawhi, Conley, Harden would win 2 chips at least as a 2000s team.

    Even though I’ve grown up on the East coast I watched a lot of West coast ball growing up because I usually put games on before bed and fell asleep to games, and the West games were usually on at like 8-12 here. SAS, OKC, LAC, and GSW were definitely the A side of the matchup that I was tuning in for but I always enjoyed them going against the Grizzlies.

    I started watching NBA back in the 2013-14 season (like at the start of it) and by the end of it, Grit and Grind Grizzles caught my attention. Every game they played or in every playoffs series they would play, it was for me exciting to watch how one of THE BEST defensive teams played the game. This era of Grizzles made me a fan of them and the whole game overall. Even today I throw some remarks to my friends on how THIS team was just super good overall. (like "back in my day this team was...")

    I do want to push back on the Pau Gasol not being the worst trade in Grizzlies history, since if they had any idea Marc Gasol would be good they wouldn't be picking Hasheem Thabeet second.
    The only thing that is close to as bad is giving up their 2003 1st round pick for old Otis Thorpe (They're lucky that Detroit then picked Darko).
