Are you an NBA fan at all? I follow the Memphis Grizzlies, but few people know that they used to be called the Vancouver Grizzlies. Kind of sad they're not in Canada anymore, since I'm Canadian. I've missed them since they left in 2001.
Following the 2000–01 season, the team relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, United States, and are known as the Memphis Grizzlies.

Yeah, they've had it rough for a while, I suppose. They weren't kind of horrible in Vancouver, never won more than 30% of their games in any of the seasons they had here. Finished last in the division 5 times, too. But I love the underdogs.
