The 2021-22 Memphis Grizzlies basketball team will always be held in high regard with the new-aged fan base. That team was fun, energetic, and won a tied for franchise-high 56 games. They also surprisingly finished as the second seed in the Western Conference standings, after winning the play-in tournament the season before to become the eighth seed in the playoffs.
That team had depth and battled the eventual champion Golden State Warriors to six games in the second round of the playoffs before losing. Ja Morant left Game 3 of that series and missed the rest of the series, which had the team thinking that if they had him, they would've had a good chance to win the championship themselves.
