About Memphis Grizzlies

The team was originally established in 1995 as the Vancouver Grizzlies in Vancouver, Canada. The team suffered some hardships during its first years, and despite adding some star players to the squad, the Grizzlies’ performance did not improve a lot. The 1998 lockout forced the owners to sell the team to John McCaw, Jr. who moved the team to Memphis, Tennessee in March, 2001. The move seemed to immediately change the Grizzlies’ fortunes – during the first season, star player Pau Gasol earned the NBA Rookie Award of the Year. A number of new players including Mike Miller, Jason Williams and James Posey were added to the squad, and a new head coach, Hubie Brown took over in 2003. Brown’s years of experience in coaching, and hard work with the squad paid off when the Memphis Grizzlies reached the NBA playoffs for the first time in history. Brown earned the NBA Coach of the Year Award in the process and the team finished as the sixth seed in the Western Conference. The team’s incredible transformation from the bottom of the tables to one of the leaders in the conference garnered a strong fan following and everyone from sports journalists to average, everyday Americans developed a certain degree of admiration and respect for the Grizzlies.

The Memphis Grizzlies are currently in the Western Conference of the NBA’s Southwest Division. The team’s home field is the FedExForum in Memphis. In the past couple of seasons, the team has added a number of star players to its ranks, including Rudy Gay, Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph and Mike Conley. Sam Young, Dante Cunningham and Marreese Speights are recent additions and plays as forwards, while guards Jeremy Pargo and O.J. Mayo make up the team’s defense. Under the leadership of coach Lionel Hollins and assistant coaches Henry Bibby, David Joerger and Barry Hecker the team is expected to soar to new heights.
