Bring the Grizzlies back to Vancouver (alien.top)

The Memphis Grizzlies are currently selling tickets for as low as $2 per seat. They are averaging the 5th worst attendance in the league at 16, 833 which is worse than half of the Vancouver Grizzlies seasons almost 30 years ago when average attendance league wide was much lower than now.

Am I still petty that Memphis took our team? Absolutely.

But I can also guarantee you'd be hard pressed to find tickets to a Vancouver NBA game for the price of a quarter of a water at Rogers Arena. Not to mention I'm positive that Vancouver could do better than the 5th worst attendance in the league.

I look forward to seeing salty Memphis fans in my DMs, but just remember you would be frustrated too if a worse market stole you're NBA team, and then showed poor support to an actually talented team.

Nope. And this is coming for a person that LOVES Vancouver, they don't deserve it. They barely cared when the team was there. Vancouver only wanted a team because Toronto was going to get one. Montreal has a far stronger basketball culture than Vancouver does.

Give Seattle a team and the Vancouver fans can cheer for them.
