The "Grit 'n' Grind" Grizzlies and this most recent versions of the Grizzlies are great examples that you don't need to win a title to be become beloved. Play hard, love the city and they'll love you back. May not end with a title but a whole lot of fun was had and memories made.
🚨
In honor of the 25th anniversary of the Grizzlies being in Memphis, I want to hear from the fans on your 25 favorite Grizzlies since they’ve moved to Memphis.

LOVE this pick for Orlando -- this was my favorite player/draft fit in the draft (written pre-Bane trade)
Jase Richardson is going to space the floor for their Franz-Paolo-Bane-Suggs core. Bane and Suggs can take the keys to the offense while Jase spaces the floor. Wouldn't shock me if we see a McCain-esque jump
My second NBA Draft Guide.
For the 2025 draft class, I have 60 single-page scouting reports, elevator pitches on the 61-75th players on my board, 4 takes on the class, my draft philosophy, and where I stand among the consensus.
Doing more and more draft work each year has been so satisfying. I become more enamored with the scouting side. Love dong this, hopeful to see where it goes.
Whether you read 1 profile, a few, a dozen, or all of them — I appreciate your time. Open to all feedback.
What a fun class! Can’t wait to see them in the league.

When I was in 11th grade, @woodypaige came across my first sports column for my MS high school newspaper, took the time to read it and say this.
7 years later, I work in non-profit comms striving to tell stories every day.
Thank you for the best words a 15 yr old could hear!
@TwoCount_Lentz@PatMcAfeeShow@DariusJButler Awe thank you big brother! Thank you, @PatMcAfeeShow for persuading people to say something nice about someone else - including this airhead! (Jk, I love seeing him work so hard for so many opportunities he’s so passionate about!)
Surprise!
The Memphis Grizzlies are 7-3 in their last 10 and 4th in the West.
Oh….and they have the #1 PPG in the West. 2nd in the NBA.
The new offense is working.
The Grizzlies should be in the conversation for deepest team in the league. Nightly contributions across the roster in a variety of ways. Wild part is, there's room for growth with -- players back up to speed from injury, players accustomed to the new system, GG/Vince back
Tested out a new scouting/evaluation concept:
The idea a core skill or trait can activate and connect other components of a player's skillset. Still a work in progress, and would like to eventually build upon this. Thought Scotty Pippen Jr. was a great player to start with because of his pace and pressure within the Grizzlies' scheme.
Always open to feedback. Full breakdown with film and stats below 👇
Today is the 10th Allie Allen Day! In 2015, the city of Germantown declared November 21st to be Allie Allen Day, an honor that the Grizzlies surprised Allie with.
I’m so thankful for a lot. For God to continue giving Allie the strength to absolutely crush it against cancer and to have many milestones along the way — marriage(!), graduations, career, home ownership, trips, and all the memories in between. And for the community — the city, church, the Grizzlies, our Allie’s Allies team, and our friends and family.
On Allie Allen Day, I also want to use this as a time to talk about St. Jude Marathon fundraising. The marathon is 2 weeks away, and we have so many ways to donate.
- Directly to our Allie’s Allies St. Jude page
- SubTsakalidis
- Allie’s Etsy shop. All proceeds on purchases there from now will go to St. Jude via Allie’s Allies through the Marathon Weekend (12/6-12/8). Awesome stuff on there! A new Ja/Jaren/Bane shirt, a Luuuuke shirt, Josh Allen merch, and more. She even does custom prints that make for good gifts!

Thank you so much for all the support year after year. It means the world. Happy Allie Allen Day!
Really liked Joel Ayayi at Gonzaga -- also had an appearance with Summer Grizz in 2023. Played for JSF Nanterre 92 in France last year -- averaged 8.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.1 steals.
Norris is a 6'10" forward that averaged 11 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.8 stocks on 35.2% shooting from 3 for the Skyhawks
