OT: R.I.P. Michael Heisley

[EL PRESIDENTE]

We all remember him for fucking with our cap space plan by signing Darius Miles.

In any case, he died today of a stroke. Moved team from Vancouver to Memphis a year after promising he wouldn't. Don't know how Vancouver views him.

 

[jlprk]

Vancouver can't understand why they moved. Attendance was alright, no worse than later in Memphis. Heisley bought the team, waited till the end of the season while avoiding questions, then immediately moved to a city half the size. Just like the Sonics.

Long before Heisley...

Quiz: Who was the first player ever signed by the Vancouver Grizzlies?

Hint: Blazer connection.

Greg Anthony.

 

[jlprk]

Greg Anthony became a much better player in Vancouver. Then he played for Portland. But he violates my 2nd hint. So, no.
