Had he not had his dunk contested and fouled that would have been the defining play but we have that beautiful "chase down" to remember!0 -

Sometimes it doesn't work.
I would LOVE for it to work. LBJ and Kawhi would have 3 rings from 3 different teams. Talk a bout a legacy and one in the making!

I do not think these folks have the money...it sounds like they want Vancouver back on the NBA radar if they expand north? Why? They had a team. It did not work. I'd like a team in Montreal. Instant rivalry with Toronto. However, the commish says no expansion is happening anytime soon.No, it wasn't the cause of the failure. Of course, in 6 seasons in Vancouver the Grizzlies had the worst record in the league, so obviously that lead to absolutely terrible attendance - it was good the first season, and went steadily downhill from there. But that was really because the team sucked shit because of the expansion draft rules at the time, not because of a lack of interest. I think that whole thing made the NBA change the rules for expansion drafts actually.I remember how fucking easy it was to go to games though. Seriously, people couldn't get rid of the tickets for Grizzlies games, lol. I went to a TON of them even though I hate basketball, just because completely free tickets wouldn't stop coming my way.
Free Grizzlies tix EVERYWHERE! Like, by the last couple years it wouldn't have surprised people if they just came upon Grizzlies tix on the ground as they walk down a sidewalk, hahaha. Of course, all live sporting events are a blast - I don't have to like the sport to go.

Vancouver Grizzlies relocation to Memphis
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancouver_Grizzlies_relocation_to_Memphis
The location of the team in Canada was a major contributor; at the time the exchange rate was 67 U.S. cents to the Canadian dollar. Because revenue was collected in Canadian dollars but player and coach salaries were paid in U.S. dollars, the team ended up spending an undue amount of its revenue on salaries.[6] The 1998–99 lockout was the pivoting point for home game attendance. While the whole league experienced a drop in attendance after the lockout, Vancouver experienced an even larger fall.[13] The average attendance in 1997–98 was 16,108, ranking 16th in the league,[14] while it fell to 13,899 in 1999–00, ranking 27th.[15]
Pretty hard to compete when our dollar is the crappy.
The Raptors benefited from being in a much better market and obviously, Toronto is a better sports city and could easily handle 2 NHL teams and an NFL team...
Could Vancouver?

Could Vancouver?The attendance was the deadly symptom of failure, not the cause. The cause was really the expansion draft and the inability of the team to sign an all-star. If the team had done better attendance would have been better too.But we don't need to try again. People are spending all their money on the insane cost of living here now. Nobody can afford basketball tickets.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -
