Memphis Grizzlies, the enemies of the whole world in the NBA

Battle horns sound from across the Atlantic, and the faces of basketball fans once again smile. After almost six months of the regular season, the NBA playoffs have already begun to roll, the race for the 76th title of the best league in the world. There are many candidates to win the crown (Celtics, Suns, 76ers, Bucks or Nuggets), but the organization chaired by Adam Silver has decided that those in charge of opening the curtain for today are the Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Lakers (9:00 p.m., Movistar), a duel of the past against the future, of the second classified against the seventh, and of two very different lifestyles. If the Californian franchise has been established in luxury for years, in the show as a means to win, in Memphis, since the last decade, sacrifice and muscle, even bad milk, are the ingredients that are cooked in the kettle of success. Those from Tennessee have given continuity to the tradition and this year they have signed a great campaign. Despite being the fifth youngest squad (24.5 years old) they have finished with the fourth best record (51 wins and 31 losses), a fast and ambitious group led by the controversial superstar Ja Morant (among their ranks the Spanish Santi also stands out Aldama, in a great way), who has choked on the great shields of the NBA for his effective defense (they are among the top three in rebounds, steals and blocks) and for his ability to be unhinged.

Escudero The Grizzlies point guard was until a few weeks ago the best-known young face in the league. An idol called to lead the generation of new talents, who has been erased from the courts by several episodes related to his addictions. In a league that is increasingly soft on the brand, more concerned at times with political issues than sports, the Grizzlies have decided to become Comanches, enemies of the whole world, colonizing that void and becoming a kind of ‘Bad Boys’, a nickname given to the legendary Detroit Pistons in the 1990s for their forceful and sometimes illegal game, when they won two consecutive championships (1989 and 1990). Fights everywhere Taylor Jenkins’s pupils are not even close to those of Michigan on the parquet (the coach has assured many times that they are not “dirty”, only “competitive”), but they do exude that provocative spirit. In fact, one of his most notorious battles was against the Lakers last January, when Dillon Brooks, prophet of bad temper and sanctioned this campaign on many occasions, faced LeBron and then with a close friend of the forward, the former player of NFL Shannon Sharpe , who was in the front row.

A tension that the Grizzlies have taken to the length and breadth of the United States (trips in Cleveland, blows to the testicles in Miami, insults in San Francisco), leaving scars that now have to be reopened in the middle of the race for the title.
