Memphis Grizzlies facts
While investigating facts about Memphis Grizzlies, I found out little known, but curios details like:
The Toronto Raptors weren't the only Canadian NBA team...the Vancouver Grizzlies joined the league in 1995, and played for five season before being moved to Memphis.
The failed World Football League of the mid-1970’s spawned sports team names that are still used today: Memphis Grizzlies, Chicago Fire and Charlotte Hornets
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 5 of the best facts about Memphis Grizzlies I managed to collect.

The Charlotte Hornets and Memphis Grizzlies were football teams in the World Football League in the 70s before they were current NBA franchises

when Allen Iverson was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2016, he became the first (and still only) former Grizzlies player to be inducted, a distinction he earned despite playing only three games for Memphis in 2009
