How The Memphis Grizzlies Actually Became Good 

Finally Adams getting the credit he deserves

JA MORANT has so much Damn potential to be one of the best tho , this Memphis Grizzlies team is like the blueprint for any team that’s going through a rebuild honestly

I'm so happy for the Memphis, I always liked their grit n grind era (despite popular opinion of them). Ja and the guys have been great so far and quickly became the best story of this season.

I love Steven Adams man he looks like the dream teammate such a cool guy

As an Okc Thunder fan I’m happy to see Steven Adam’s still being a beast! Funny how people thought he would be worse than Jonas 😂

Recipe for successful rebuilding: 1) Get a young superstar 2) Develop a compatible core & supporting cast 3) Veteran, Veteran, Veteran. Easier said than done but that's the beauty of it.

Steven Adams sets really good screens opening up opportunities for teammates

This is amazing Memphis has completely made itself into a championship team and the brightest future in the league with the mip and Coty with a really great front office the best rebuild in the league and should be modeled by every team

As a diehard Memphis Grizzlies fan it has been a very amazing season and a fun season

Smooth transition from the grit days. Super proud of my team!

It's time to admit it, Ja Morant was the best pick of the 2019 NBA Draft

I have to say that Steven Adams is one of the most strongest, dominant centers in the NBA today. I would go as far as top 5 centers. Not a lot of fans understand his impact on creating space for his shooters with his strong frame and being pretty agile for his size. I always liked his game. Plus dude has the best highlights when he destroy players with his strong ass screens lol. I swear , looks like he give ppl concussions.

Congratulations grizzlies go get a ring cause y’all deserve it

THANK YOU FOR FINALLY TALKING ABOUT THE MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES

I’m happy the grizzlies broke that 73 point record as a Heat fan.

That Adams - Valanciunas trade really did wonders for them, they need an interior presence.

Good things do happen when you let a team and its coach develop together. In addition, good scouting of players (especially the more unknown ones) and just great effort and chemistry has brought them to where they are now

The addition of steven adams along ja morant reminds me alot of when derrick rose got boozer . That grizzlies team giving me some 2010-11 bulls feels . Im bulls fan and big drose fan I’ve watched that 2011 bulls season when i look at this memphis team i see alot of heart and hustle in this team they play like they aren’t afraid of anyone they have a great team , great coach , and great fans and energy this memphis going to upset some top tier teams in the playoffs , As a bulls fan I really Hope Ja morant wins the mvp he’s only 22 years old and i would really love to see him along side rose in that list as the 2 youngest mvps ever . Ja morant maybe the closest player i seen to Derrick rose in a while he is a talent and exciting the scary part is he is not even at his peak yet and he’s having a similar season like derrick rose had at 22 years old similar stats . I hope ja stays healthy I really wanna see Ja’s prime .

Steven "Aquaman" Adams is an example of a helpful player with less stats. Others have HIGH stats but are just stat padders and are not helpful. A remember a guy who has big stats.

Probably the only time since grit n grind days that im proud of my team fr🍿

Steven Adam’s is the ultimate big man for a young athletic guard. Jordan had one, Kobe had one, Russ had him and made history.. now Ja has one 👍

Don’t sleep on Darius garland he has also looked really good this season, and the cavs are one of the biggest surprises so far. He was picked 5th in the same draft

Thx for making a video of how the Memphis Grizzlies are doing so good💙🐻, I'm pretty happy how the team is doing as now (I knew Ja Morant will be something else) but now it's not only JA it's the whole team, plus we didn't have a season like that since the grit and grind era

The Desmond Bane respect and recognition 👏

The chemistry in this team is just great as well. Like when their star player is injured and can't play and they just keep going even stronger it shows how good their communication is. And Jenkins is a big part of that as well. It also shows that the team isn't purely built to fit Ja- it is built to make all of them fit.

Grizzlies sharing the load...I'd like to see them blowup the fact that you shorten your bench in the playoffs and continue to show depth and faith in your roster...Blow teams out 4-0

Steven Adams has brought a Rugby mentality to a Basket-ball court. :)

6:09 Adams, that face!

Thanks Man for giving Steven Adams the credit i always gave to him.

05:36 Darius Garland deserves some respect here. He's leading my 23-18 Cavs despite losing Sexton and Rubio.

Great vid. Concise and informative.

Loved the video bro! Adams is a beast fr

Oden-Durant Zion-Morant

I can only hope that my pistons have a similar turnaround. It’s crazy to see where the grizzlies came from to where they are now. They haven’t missed in the last 4 drafts

Thank you for this Andy 🥺😭 - Grizzlies fan

Make more vids plz? I can’t get enough your content bro! 😞❤️🔥

The Memphis Grizzlies are an interesting team. Their star Ja Morant doesn't play as much minutes as other stars on other teams do, but as stated in the video, this could be due to the team-oriented approach emphasized by their head coach, Taylor Jenkins, to go along with the fact that they have great depth and an excellent bench. As far as season predictions, go, I see them making it to the 2nd round or even the Western Conference Finals. The Grizzlies are very underrated and hugely slept on, and I feel their stars playing low minutes would make them more well-rested compared to the opposition, which is a key advantage they'd have going up against whatever team they are facing in the postseason, with greater rest and more readiness when it comes to energy from their stars, namely Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr., who are an entertaining and fast-paced duo. The fact that the Grizzlies play a fast-paced game but also a team-oriented approach makes them even harder to go up against, for veteran teams or teams built on the back of one star that employ an overly heliocentric offense.

I believe in the future, we are going to see a lot of small market teams, that have young talent today, in the current moment, will be contending in the near future, and the big market teams of today will struggle to rebuild.

My guy Andy Hoops with the clutch upload

I always said Steven Adams never gets the love from the fans. Yes he isn’t a scorer but he is a great team player.

Imagine them as a NBA champions🔥

I started watching Memphis this year for Ja Morant, but i fell in love with the whole team.

The team should be the blueprint for every team that’s going through a rebuild. Ja Morant is a SUPERSTAR🥷🏾

New Memphis fan, as I'm a kiwi following Adams. Was hard to watch last year but this Memphis team is looking fantastic

On point prediction with the 2nd round call💯💯🤯🤯

Thank you for props on our man STEVE BRO!!

It’s reasonable but I can see this young Memphis Grizzlies team going to the second round of the playoffs , I mean they gave the Utah Jazz a run for their money in the playoffs last season , I wouldn’t bet on them to have a successful second half of the season after all star break to play well and consistent

Was it nice to have somebody you can throw the ball down to in the block? -25 teams have left the chat

I already knew this team was going to be good when they drafted ja with the second pick and built around him everything I said about them being the future if the league is coming true

Their coach is looking towards the playoffs with the minutes, lovin this team

glad i saw this team irl for my first nba game, they are fun to watch.

Love seeing my team do great! 🔥🔥 Let's go! 🐻

the different lineup is to have maximum chemistry with whoever is on the lineup. Genius approach to develop comradere

Good is an understatement. As a warriors fam they're easily one of the scariest teams

Happy to see Grizzlies videos on the TL lol

Ja has been playing out of his mind for them this year. The grizzlies have really been a great success story this year.

One of my favorite teams to watch. Coming from a nuggets fan

0:14 that hilarious double dribble lmao

Honestly I wasn’t a believer at first even tho ja is my favorite young pg but they have made me a believer this team is the real deal rebuilding blueprint team . They have beat the Lakers nets cavs and warriors they are fr

Steven Adams is Tony Allen from New Zealand.

That's why they always play fresh... optimal playing time for all.

Desmond Bane low key built like Bane. he ain't a shooting guard, he's a power guard

People really surprised by they're success. I seen the chemistry when we first drafted dillon brooks. Then i seen potential wit triple j, and not to mention the year they got ja that summer league team was ballin as well. But they front office been working since they let zbo go and that was in 16/17. Since then i knew the players they drafted were hungry then. I knew they was heading in the right direction from other young teams like new Orleans especially after jj redrick bust them out also the kings as well. My favorite team has the mentality tho

I like the money sound sound fx

I'm so happy to see the Grizzlies become good all of a sudden.

They built this team well they have a identity a superstar and a whole lot of shooters

6 year season ticket holder,we are "GRIND CITY"TAKE NOTICE, MEMPHIS VS EERRRBODY IS BACK

Low key Adams does those screens because he just loves seeing opponents run into him and fall flat on the floor.

Memphis has the toughest schedule as far as the grind. They really are an eastern city playing in the western conference. The travel must be grueling.

Andy really knows his shit

As a grizzlies fan this season has been awesome!

Memphis coming back up!! Ja got them back into it!!! Glad to see it!!

Did you say "Marc Gasol light"? I don't see what's so light about Adams 😂 But yeah Ja is just unbelievable, like Allen Iverson with better 3's plus he can even dunk like he ain't even a human. Just phenomenal!

It’s amazing to see Memphis relevant n a serious dark horse if they feel a spark of rhythm. Tyler Herro is the only other star I see being a all star

He's not screen assist, that's a wall! Screen is too soft for Adams 🤣

EST squad…what are y’all eating for lunch while enjoying Andy??

Most undertalked about team. They are GOOD!

the nba needs a small market team to become something. this is that team. this is how you build a team.

Nice.

I wasnt happy about Adams because Z-Bo punched him in game 6 in 2015 and the NBA suspended Randolph for game 7 and they got waxed by OKC.. even Adams mentioned that punch when he got traded here 😂

Memphis and also the Cavs are surprising. The Cavs are rebuilding but their record is impressive.

3:43 Steve Adams a statue bruh 🗽

Zion is turning into a Sam Bowie or Greg Oden type of bust at this point

Taylor Jenkins learned the minutes restriction thing from Mike Budenholzer def

It's no coincidence how Russ was at his best with Steven Adams, and Ja is at is best with him.

this one 👌👌

Im rooting for Grizz this year

Jare Jackson Jr is so valuable to this team. Dillon Brooks brings grit on defense and versatility on offense, and they haven't ev3n needed him recently. There is no team this well rounded in the nba. There's no huge skill gap between any of the players. I know Ja is the poster boy, but idk if he even has the highest ceiling. Athleticism comes and goes - and not everyone can preserve it like Lebron. If Memphis understands, they'll try their hardest to resign Jackson Jr, Anderson, and Brooks

Melton is pretty overlooked. I took 100 on them at +2500 to win Championship

They became good by drafting quality players year after year, who are solid all around players but also have some sort of extraordinary or above league average strength. Once you get a whole team of guys like this you have guys embracing those strengths and playing team basketball.

Good to see Coach Jenkins get his recognition.

I'm a heat fan but man I love the grizzlies too that grit n grind era was fun lots of vets but this team is run n gun young team if the heat don't win one soon I want the grizz to take home the chip

I know this is 2 weeks old, but in mentioning future superstars, did you forget Darius Garland? I may be biased as a Cavs fan, but he will be at least an All-Star, if not All-NBA very soon.

Please make a video on where the members of the 2014-2015 Hawks are now

When Jonas was traded for Gasol, it benefited the raptors as the latter played excellent defense on opposing big men. Same with what Adams was doing with the Grizz Memphis has a lot of shooters now compared before. Ja was their greatest pick ahead of Rudy and Pau

Here's the thing. When the Grizz started off 9-10, it was mainly due to D Brooks absence and lackadaisical play by the role players like Slo Mo and Tyus. Jas injury kind of shook them up and got them more focused. And they have stayed that way. Heck even Ziaire is killing it.

Didn’t talk about jaren’s defense/defensive impact for me but great video nonetheless

I love Steven Adams.

Steven Adams is a bad dude.....reminds me of players from the 90s

If Valanciunas stayed the Grizzlies is gonna be scary at the 3 point area. Ja can shoot, Bane can shoot, Triple J can shoot too only Adams is not shooting Three's in the team today
