MIKE BIBBY: LAST ACTIVE PLAYER FROM THE VANCOUVER GRIZZLIES

The Memphis Grizzlies are flying high in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. The last-seeded Grizzlies are currently leading the top seed San Antonio Spurs, 2 games to 1 in their best-of-seven series. This series has recorded the first-ever Grizzlies playoff win (game one) and first-ever home playoff victory (game 3) in history, respectively, and maybe on their way to a first-ever playoff series success. The Grizzlies originally entered the NBA in 1995-96 as an expansion franchise in Vancouver, Canada and relocated to Elvis Town in 2001-02 season. Did you know that the only active NBA player from those Vancouver Grizzlies days is point guard Mike Bibby, who now plays for the Miami Heat. Bibby was drafted 2nd over-all in the 1998 draft by the Grizzlies and played three years in Vancouver from 1998 to 2001 with a total of 214 games.
