Forgive me if this was posted before, but “The Grizzlie Truth” film explores the franchise’s origins in Vancouver and why they left town for Memphis from the point-of-view of a super fan. It’s now streaming free on TUBI. It’s a fun watch: https://tubitv.com/movies/100027171/the-grizzlie-truth

It’s not great. Some of the history of the early years of the franchise was fun. But overall, It was a whine fest from a city that didn’t had our franchise half as long as they’ve been in Memphis. At some point there’s a support group scene and everyone is in Vancouver merch and a guy walks in with a Memphis Ja jersey and everyone in the group gives him shit.
It’s like the Sopranos, it’s over, find a new show.
I watched it on a flight like 6 months ago. It was cool to see their perspective and history on everything and it would absolutely suck for that to happen when you’re invested in the team. The Vancouver fans do all take it out on Memphis though, to an unjust degree and all hate Memphis. To a certain extent, I get it but it’s very misdirected. I won’t give away how things play out but I didn’t come away upset about anything and I enjoyed it for what it was. I sympathized her and the fans for the most part so I didn’t take anything they said personally.
Watched it on a flight myself. I enjoyed it. I saw the dad and son who are the Memphis fans in the movie at a game once. I asked if they’d seen it and they said they were in it ha
