Grit and Grind
One of the greatest eras in Memphis Grizzlies history was the grit and grind era. It saw the likes the Zach Randolph, Mike Conley, Tony Allen, and Marc Gasol, completely capture the city's heart, winning over fans everywhere. When that era ended, it left a void in Memphis. A blue collar city at its core, Memphis was much more than the glitz and glamour that many associate with Elvis Presley. However, history tends to repeat itself and sometimes, players are just built for a particular city.Â
Enter Dillon Brooks. The former Oregon Duck is the type of player that Memphis fans would create in a lab. He's a great trash talker, defensive gnat, and has a knack for getting under other's skin in ways that doctors could only dream of. But he's also a leader and in some ways, the face of an upstart team that is making noise across the league.Â
Basketball fans might remember Brooks as the offender in the hard foul on the Warriors' Gary Payton II in the 2022 playoffs, but for others, he's a throwback type of player in a league that leans more and more towards the finesse end of the spectrum with each passing day.Â
