It seems like a decent amount of players who played for the Grizzlies and left, soon became NBA champions.
Most notably the Gasol brothers. Jason Williams, Shane Battier, Avery Bradley, Austin Daye, Marreese Speights & Mike Miller (kinda) all got rings in a short time after. James Posey had a short stent and soon became a champion x2. I wouldn’t necessarily count Kyle Lowry since there was quite a large gap.
Mike Conley & Rudy Gay are two of the best who didn’t follow this trend. ZBo came a little later in his career and didn’t make it either.
Is this just because I am more aware of the Grizzly roster year after year and these connections are more common? Or could the Grizzlies be good luck?
Watch out for the rockets!
