Was listning to the morning show with Brook Ward on team 1040am and they were talking about how the NBA screwed this city out of an NBA franchise. And now that the Grizzlies are playing good now in Memphis I kind of miss the NBA. My parents were season ticketholders to the Grizzlies in Vancouver for all of there years, they had 50 wins last year in Memphis, yet they still couldn't fill their building, and they even made the playoffs for the first time. President Dick Versace was an idiot here and so was Michael Heisley Jr.

Actually untill you brought it up I forgot all about them, but I don't really fancy watching any sports that much.

I think if we still had the team here that it would be a succsess. Stu Jackson really fucked this franchise over by selecting Bryant Reeves, and selecting Mike Bibby over Vince Carter, drafting Antonio Daniels and Steve Francis. I liked the NBA more then the NHL and with the lockout the NBA would have florished here, Memphis is drawing wose attendence to their games then we did in the Grizzlies last season here in Vancouver 2000-2001

There must be a hockey lockout going on, or why would anyone be asking about the Grizzlies. I feel for you bud, we're all going through withdrawls.

Big Country was a waste of a pick, as was Steve Francis.

Abdur_rahim (sorry if the speeling is wrong) was one of their better choices, and then the dumb@$$es traded him.....

I was the biggest Grizz fan ever... I bought season tickets every year.

I spit on M. Heisley and curse Stu Jackson.

By the way Scott, Steve was a good pick if he was willing to play for us. Steve and Mike woud of been one of the best backcourts in the NBA.

oh yeah.....

FUCK Memphis...

Even though they traded Shareef when they moved to Memphis, that was the best trade Grizzlies has ever made. Pau Gasol is going to be a star and has more playoff experience then Shareef already. His game is way more complete then Shareef's game ever will be.

Never went to a game or watched one on tv. Never read about them and tuned out the radio when they came up. Couldn't have cared less.

I'm not a Basketball Fan, moving the team was a black eye to Vancouver
and the rest of BC. If the Grizzlies didn't make it happen here It could of paved the way for other Sports to come NFL,WNBA, or maybe we could of had a Shot at getting The Expos. Basketball failed here, we didn't get a fair shot to make it work. This is A Model that other sports,and leagues look at it will be a long time before we ever see a new major sports team here again.

grizzlies? good riddance ... bungling idiot show from the get go ... stu jackson doesn't acquire steve nash ... the nba doesn't allow top picks for the new franchise ... soaks them for millions to get the franchise ... has crybaby players who "doan wanna pway in fancoober" fuck em all ...

and don't get me started on Big Cunt-don't-Try ... what inbred hillbilly deliverance reject was that???

Rahim was the only player on that team with any class and it unfortunately cost him maybe the best part of his career with those losers ...

what a waste of time, space and oxygen ...

Just brought it up since Brook Ward was talking about it this morning. I for one have the Seattle Seahawks, B.C. Lions, Seattle SuperSonics and Vancouver Giants to get me through the lockout so I'm NOT missing the NHL at all especially with all the garbage coming out of Trevor Linden's mouth.

I miss the team even though Stu screwed up totally. I have satallite and watch Memphis any chance I get. I still feel like it's Vancouver's team. I know when I talked to Stromile Swift, he liked Vancouver and felt bad for the city when they were moved.

For anyone who ever complained about over-paid hockey players - I give you the NBA. Rude, ignorant, self-absorbed, just plain nasty guys who have too much money. About the only ones who miss the Grizzlies are the girls at Swedish Touch. As for Bibby - he was a churlish, spoiled brat. Good riddance.

I miss them like a hole in the head!

I dont miss Bibby, I dont miss the overweight sleep country who showed up 40lbs overweight to camp and couldnt run up and down a court when he's paid $11 mill/year!

To hell with them all!

i don't know what there is to miss ... you can get better action at any high school or univeristy court without the loud music trying to drown out another crybaby millionaire whose last layup was at Swedish Touch and even that was a limp attempt.

pro sports just disgusts me and the antics of the nba dream team at the olympics was an adolescent diaper fest ...

worst of all are the fans who support this nonsense.

for $6 bucks i can watch athletes at the local university play a game of basketball, soccer, volleyball, rugby, football etc and its good, really good. maybe time for fans to give back to their community and support the people who play sports and not just because they are paid to play (and even then don't show up!.

Guess who was the architect of the US Mens Basketball Team at the Athens games.

I can't believe that idiot Stu Jackson still has a job in professional basketball!

Abdur Rahim was a class act. When he left he took out a one page ad in both the Sun and Province to say thanks to the fans.

It was interesting to hear an interview with Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks who said that Stu Jackson was the biggest reason for the lack of success of the Grizzlies franchise. He went on to point out that the pathetic US Olympic team at the Athens Olympics was put together by none other than... Stu Jackson.

I never went to a game and I'm not a basketball fan, but I thought it was cool when Vancouver first got the team. There was a lot of hoopla about them in the beginning, but in the end, when the writing was on the wall, I thought the team went out fairly quietly...
