Life as a fan of the Memphis Grizzlies can be tough. The team rarely gets national attention. They hardly receive any credit at all for their accomplishments, though they produce at a high level for a small-market franchise.
For instance, the Grizzlies have just one nationally televised game scheduled for the 2018-19 NBA season. This sole game is getting such recognition due to the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. It is only right that Memphis, Tennessee absolutely gets to shine on that day.
Other than MLK Day in January, casual NBA fans do not get to see the Memphis Grizzlies in action.
