This is the 25th season of the Grizzlies in Memphis. To commemorate the anniversary, “Grizzlies 25” will count down the greatest players in Memphis Grizzlies history throughout the season.

It will be no surprise to known advocates for Kyle Anderson that the man dubbed “Slow Mo” is one of nine players in Grizzlies history among the franchise’s top 20 in rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. One of the others is Vancouver-era star Shareef Abdur-Rahim. The rest are still to come on this countdown, and not soon.
