Are any teams like the Grizzlies in this regard? (alien.top)

It seems like a decent amount of players who played for the Grizzlies and left, soon became NBA champions.

Most notably the Gasol brothers. Jason Williams, Shane Battier, Avery Bradley, Austin Daye, Marreese Speights & Mike Miller (kinda) all got rings in a short time after. James Posey had a short stent and soon became a champion x2. I wouldn’t necessarily count Kyle Lowry since there was quite a large gap.

Mike Conley & Rudy Gay are two of the best who didn’t follow this trend. ZBo came a little later in his career and didn’t make it either.

Is this just because I am more aware of the Grizzly roster year after year and these connections are more common? Or could the Grizzlies be good luck?

in a similar vein the Knicks have had a former player in the last 77 finals series
