The Memphis Grizzlies boast a storied over 25-year history that began in 1995 when they joined the NBA as an expansion team. Since then, the Grizzlies have built a passionate fan base supporting their team through highs and lows. An unforgettable milestone was their first playoff appearance in 2004 led by franchise icons Pau Gasol, Shane Battier and Mike Miller. Though the "Grit and Grind" Grizzlies fell to the San Antonio Spurs, the team electrified the city of Memphis with their physical style of play. 2011 marked the next pinnacle as the Grizzlies' "Core Four" of Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph, Mike Conley and Tony Allen defeated Kevin Durant's Oklahoma City Thunder. Unforgettable was their Game 6 win fueled by Randolph's 30-point performance. In 2013, the Grizzlies reached the Western Conference Finals for the first time before bowing out to the San Antonio Spurs. Unforgettable were the battles between Gasol and Tim Duncan as well as Conley's leadership. With their iconic team colors Beale Street blue, Grizzlies midnight blue and Grizzlies gold, the Memphis Grizzlies have evolved into a beloved brand.
