I remember ZBO pulled up in the hood in a car worth more than our house..and he talked and hung out like he was in a Honda😄 This dude is Special and he is without a doubt a Memphian for Life!
It's a blessing to have people who are down to earth, that don't let money change them, and stay ground on the moral code and principles you was raised off of.
Only grizzlies jersey I ever owned is a Z-Bo jersey.. was in Denver once for work and wore it to the grizzlies nuggets game. Grizz won, I was 20 rows back from the visitors bench, and I yelled ZBO! And he turned around and pointed up to me. Good memories of this team
I got so much respect for the legend Zach Randolph he a real street dude that made it out the hood and ain’t change for no one took all his Homies out the hood changed alot of peoples life’s and the hood will always respect Zach…..
WHOOP THAT TRICK! Thank you Zbo for everything you did for the Grizzlies franchise and for the city and people of Memphis. I'd give you the shirt off my back man. Love and respect to you!
I can't stand chris herrington, never have and never will. Dude is a local troll reporter who has no perspective to be reminiscing about the old grizzlies. Just let him be a troll.
I'm a Warriors fan, Zbo provided us plenty of nightmares on the court. But Zbo is a hall of fame person. He's a much better human being than actual ball player. Just class personified. I tip my hat.
Zach Randolph a guy you wouldn’t wanna play against but such an awesome dude. I remember when he told Cousins „in my hood bullies get bullied“ after cousins did sum stupid. Z-Bo a legend on and off the court.
I remember this, did cousins not say "in my hood bullies get bullied" and then ZBO said "in my hood bullies get bullets" haha. I could be wrong but what a great back and forward that was : )
This took me back to all those magical playoff moments I was fortunate enough to be apart of during the GNG era. It was truly a special time in Memphis. Thank you for the memories Z-Bo! You are one of us, a Memphian, for ever!
I didn't realize how close zach was with the city of Memphis. Him getting in trouble here in Indiana put a shadow over him even though he has the biggest heart I'm happy the city of Memphis has embraced him. It was paid back in full and then some
Oh trust and believe, Z had some off the court issues here in Memphis. But because EVERYONE in the city embraced him (and I mean EVERYONE) they never allowed those issues to get swept under the rug. He and Tony Allen were connected here deeply.
This story is has made me emotional. I am a Knicks fan and didn't understand why they let him go. He was a very underrated player. Now I see what a great person he is.
Curry was a sad story. He was starting to figure things out in NY, playing with the enlarged heart and all. Then his ex-wife and child got murdered in Chicago and he vanished. A lot of people don't know that.
I love people like zbo, they do the right thing and help their communities. They don’t just hide in the mansion and sit down and count money all day. He’s a good man!
Roger was prolly better and more athletic than Zach. He just got into some trouble in a lil town in Indiana called Anderson. (Where he is a legend) And never got to reach his full basketball potential. #LLRR
I’m a Bulls fan but ZBO is one of my favorite players ever. The Grizzlies playoff runs and those games at the grind house was some of the most entertaining ball you will ever see.
Man me too. I feel Chicago during D-Rose days needed a player like Z-Bo to get Bulls over that hump to make finals.. We needed another scorer and bully
One of my fav players of all time. Kind of player that you hate if you play against him but you love it if he plays in your team. I,ve never been a Grizzlies fan but that team played great and I am a Spaniard so…
Man I remember One Night I was Working At IHOP in Sacramento Ca , & Zbo walks in , I ask Him I was Like “ you Zach Randolph ‘’ he was like yeah , but it look like he didn’t think I knew who he was , So He instantly was Like You wanna Pic took a Pic Ihop Was Packed that night he was Like “ See if they Can Make My food Early ‘’ so I ask the cooks they said “Yeah “ so He Gave Me 40$ as a Bus Boy , &. Gave the Lady Like 80$ & the Men Cook 60$ & mind you People Never Tip the Cooks , the Look on the Cooks Face was Priceless made there whole night & felt appreciated for all the Food they cook 👨🍳, So I’m Glad I met a Real Legend on and Off the Court , Respect ✊🏽 Z-bo Your a Real one 💯💯
We love you here in Memphis Zach!! I personally love your heart!! You are a great person and Im soo glad that the Grizzlies picked you! You and Memphis go together like a hand and glove... We just fit perfectly!!
Five minutes in and I'm already lovin' it.... Z-Bo and Tony Allen gave the city of Memphis it's identity connecting the city and the Grizzly organization. Grit & Grind....
He indeed had a bad rep coming in, but he turned his career around and became a true icon of what that era of Memphis basketball was all about. Plus he did his most important and impactful work off the court, helping out the communities that needed it most, which is something you don't see often from a franchise player.
I didn't know him that much but from this documentary, Ii felt him. God bless anybody that comes from the bottom, made it to the top and still remember to bring others up from the bottom. God bless you Zach 👍👍❤️
Man I miss this man!!! Before Zbo came to Memphis I would have told you that MJ was my favorite player of all time..there are many of us who have never met him in person but feel like he is family and we deeply love and respect him
Brilliant Piece! That stab fadeaway was butter 🧈 & even tho Zach was small he was strong & highly skilled. He might not get in the HOF but he's knocking on the door! Salute ZBo
Yea he is borderline HOF.. I if that team at least made Finals once and even if lost, he definitely in there cause he was a big reason Memphis got there. THAT west was stacked so many years
@@dezcaughtit316 I forgot Grant Hill was in there then Z-Bo definitely one then. He usually be forgotten cause not as loud and/or flashy like other PFs like KG,Malone,Dirk etc
@@Bigedub101 Hell yea bro Grant Hill going in was tragic ik what he was but injuries robbed him. NBA is real weird with they HOF! I hope Tim Hardaway finally gets in this year
I want to commend the Grizzlies production staff. Thank you so much for releasing this. It will be remembered as one of NBA's best underdog stories. #GRIZZNATION
Zbo, thank you, for everything you’ve done for this city and everyone in it. You’re a perfect example for how to embrace this city and how the city will forever and always embrace you back. Can’t wait to see your jersey hang in the rafters, where it deserves to be. All love 💙
I thought of him as a tough guy and to not mess with him but also he had big time game. But this shows what kind of heart he had. Money/fame doesn’t change you it reveals who you are.
zbo is the quintessential grit and grind player. He was the perfect fit for the grizzlies. This grizzly team just needed one more efficient scorer to complete the team.
Memphis was my team during this era, I never really ever had a team, I rooted for players and I loved Randolph and Conley. Shit I was a huge fan of OJ Mayo for some reason too but I would find myself cheering for the Grizzlies everytime they'd be on, I remember when they upset the Spurs. The memories man!
I hope Jaren Jackson Jr. can help represent MSU in Memphis like Z-bo did and bring that city a championship playoff run🙏. That line-up when healthy is fully stacked!
Man z Bo in the first round of the playoffs he dominated on the spurs and they were a higher seed. Spurs are my team forever but Memphis leading with zbo I gave nothing but respect.
Wow such a real heart a real man and OG. Came here for his on court never knew who he was off the court. And respected in any hood and the type of brother that we can be proud of. Big brother wow
He’s my all time favorite NBA player. The most genuine humble nice player ever. But he was a dawg on the court. He also represents Marion, Indiana. And I live close to there. He’s the best!!
As a Spurs fan I used to hate playing against ZB)O, but I rooted for him every time we weren't playing ya'll. This just makes me love him even more not as a player but because of his character.
Zach reminds me of Eddie Winslow on Family matters!! His name is Darius something…Can’t think of his last name right now…But, they Favor each other alot
Wow what an amazing man on and off the court! ZBO thank you for inspiring so many of us worldwide to chase our GOD given dreams, work hard, pray and play hard, take care of our families and be the change we want to see around us! GOD BLESS YOU and YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY ZBO!!!!!
Blazer fan from the 80s. Zach probably needed a little growing up back then but that town didn't deserve a MAN like Zach. Was crying the whole video. Seeing his mom in the stands looking like the happiest person on Earth was beautiful to see.
Really is..I'm a Bulls fan and after 90s dynasty...I still say to this day I always felt as a Bulls fan we never had that player in mid 2000s to early 2010s that could get us over hump and a Z-Bo like player would definitely been close to maybe a finals shot in 2010s before Derrick Rose kept getting injured
What a great story! Mr. Randolph you are a great human being first, a great athlete second. What famous people can do when they keep things in perspective.
I remember ZBO pulled up in the hood in a car worth more than our house..and he talked and hung out like he was in a Honda😄 This dude is Special and he is without a doubt a Memphian for Life!
had the fire piff when he came by too....ZBO is real deal
That’s the G in him.
Tony Allan is real G also,grew up in the same hood,him and J Howard .
He was comfy made some trap moves out here too
It's a blessing to have people who are down to earth, that don't let money change them, and stay ground on the moral code and principles you was raised off of.

Mannn that’s awesome bro bro
The greatest player the Grizzlies franchise has ever had!!!!!! I stand 10 toes down on that!
Marc Gasol all day!
I agree with you
Ja will be
Tie with him and Gasol
@@dannyttt2050 only Pau can compare
Zach Randolph was NO JOKE!!! Mama...There goes that man!!!
The world needs more people like “Z”Bo…Dude was helping people b4 he even made it big! Truly the real deal…
Eddie Winslow’s long lost brother lol.. Z-BO is still one of my all time favorite players.. great hands, skilled and tough
This had me in real tears, cause I felt the real love between Z and the Community... They definitely got it out the Mud!!!!!
Nobody in ZBO's era got 20 & 10 as effortless has he did.
I got so much respect for the legend Zach Randolph he a real street dude that made it out the hood and ain’t change for no one took all his Homies out the hood changed alot of peoples life’s and the hood will always respect Zach…..
Zach Randolph one of my favorite NBA players of all time! One of a kind player! We need more of his play in today's NBA!
True definition of giving someone their flowers while they can smell them. Much respect to a stand up man like ZBO 💯
WHOOP THAT TRICK! Thank you Zbo for everything you did for the Grizzlies franchise and for the city and people of Memphis. I'd give you the shirt off my back man. Love and respect to you!

No they don't Zbo was the man
Now that I look back, Rudy Gay and OJ Mayo were damn good players for our team... but Idk bout retiring their jerseys tho
The story of those who rarely appear on the first page. People's man! Uplifting. Huge respect.
Zach is the most real NBA cat Ive ever seen when it comes to his people Bless him
I'm a Warriors fan, Zbo provided us plenty of nightmares on the court. But Zbo is a hall of fame person. He's a much better human being than actual ball player. Just class personified. I tip my hat.
He's also have a good relationship with draymond green too specially they're both came from michigan state.

This story is has made me emotional. I am a Knicks fan and didn't understand why they let him go. He was a very underrated player. Now I see what a great person he is.
Knicks were scarred by Eddy Curry 🤷🏿♂️😭 Zach really had to prove himself and he did.
Curry was a sad story. He was starting to figure things out in NY, playing with the enlarged heart and all. Then his ex-wife and child got murdered in Chicago and he vanished. A lot of people don't know that.
I love people like zbo, they do the right thing and help their communities. They don’t just hide in the mansion and sit down and count money all day. He’s a good man!
Some of the best times of my life were taking my family down to Memphis to watch this team. Thanks Z-Bo for everything!
I played with his brother Roger Randolph back in the late 90’s… Dude was a legit monster on the court as well💯 #RipRoger🙏🏾
Was his brother NBA material too???
So the whole family was fire!
Roger was prolly better and more athletic than Zach. He just got into some trouble in a lil town in Indiana called Anderson. (Where he is a legend) And never got to reach his full basketball potential. #LLRR
Damn... I was expecting just a basketball doc.. this shit damn near made m cry💯
I expected this to make me cheer-I didn't expect it to make me cry several times!!
The love for him in Memphis is so well-deserved.
Thought I knew his story, but watching this, I learned a lot and my respect went through the roof for him. #salute #50ForDaCity
