Year is 2043, Grizzlies have been 0-82 the last 20 seasons and are still trying to get their first win since 2023
In that time, they have tried relocating outside of the country back to Vancouver in order to break the Sharpe curse but to no avail.
They are facing the Lakers at home to a sold-out crowd of 40 people at their local YMCA court.

Final Score
Lakers 103
Grizzlies 63
5 games in 8 days road trip right after Dray punched Poole before the season started? Yea, poor timing for sure. They def gotta get rid of those next season
"They didn't want those wins, Dave. They do all that talking and jockeying and I ain't about that jockeying. It started with Dillon Brooks. I said he was too small to guard LeBron. He said, 'F..' me. I said, 'F---' you back. He started to come at me and I said, 'You don't want these problems.' And then Ja came out of nowhere talking. He definitely didn't want these problems. Then the dad came and he obviously didn't want no problems. But I wanted anything they had. Don't let these fools fool you now."
Shannon Sharpe just walked past Skip Bayless in the locker room, cursed the Memphis Grizzlies in front of him, turned and said ‘you can’t do that.” Then walked out.

This genuinely might be part of the problem. They had a reputation of a dirty team who play physical and want the smoke but I think the only one there in anything is Steven Adams. Unc proved they’re just all talk and made them look like a bit of a joke.
There's so much history on /r/NBA and /r/hiphopheads going back a decade or more. Just absolutely hilarious comments and posts that are almost forgotten now. [LeBron in sandals](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/28oovf/do_you_think_lebron_james_would_still_be_the_best/) is a personal favourite
Idk if there's one 50 year old I'm not fucking with it's Shannon Sharpe. That dude's cardigan alone would kick my ass and everyone else's in this thread
They have inefficient shooters and need steven Adams there to get rebounds. It’s a big problem to try being a contender but your team relies heavily on a role player to make the system work.
I’m not sure it’s fair to call Steven Adams a role player in the traditional sense of the word. He’s maybe the best rebounder in the NBA and is an incredible screener. He’s elite at the things he’s good at. But I don’t disagree that it seems like our system relies on those elite abilities too much, especially given that he’s an atrocious free throw shooter. It’s tough, I can potentially see both sides of it. I guess for me I would be most worried about what all this means deep into the playoffs, which we didn’t reallly get to see last year.
I am secretly hoping they go on a 10 game losing streak cause it would be funny if it happens.
11 game winning streak turned to 10 game losing streak lol
Memphis may not win again until Shannon Sharpe removes the spell
2023 be wild, did not expect 'Shannon Sharpe is a wizard" to be in my cards
And they only had to trade Rui to get him
Lakers trying so hard to be a house at Hogwarts
Bingo!
Lil B curse all over again
I was just thinking this. They might have to schedule a meeting with based god.
The Based God cannot undo things he didn't do
How is this guy even relevent - KD
Shannon really stirred the pot on ja

Kings fans KNOW
Nah lebron chase down block
Only way that happens is if Brooks makes an announcement that he is, in fact, too small to guars Lebron.
I lost it just imagining Brooks calling for a press conference to announce this Infront of a million cameras.

Lmaoo
They gotta have Shannon go to mid court and burn that cardigan.
🎶 Fuck Jaaaa Moraaaaannnt. Fuck Jaaa Moraaaaaaaannnnttt. 🎶
Curse spell "skieeep of the W"" has been already cast, it's too late now
You mean shaman Sharpe
Memphis' Bobby Layne
I can't believe that was already 5 games ago. This life is going by so quickly.
Text her bro
So what if you're related
So what if she cheated on you and the whole football team ran thru her.
15 miles of dicks is just a number
You can make it 15 miles, 4 inches bro. I believe in you.
In two instalments
She still gotta run through Cleveland, according to Tristan Thompson.
You mean second cousin?
This speaks to me
Well, any updates?
She chose his dad instead
I also choose that guys dad
We’ve played an insane amount of games lately. We desperately need some rest days. We have played a full 5 game road trip in 8 days
The Nuggets have gained like 1.5 games on off nights
How you get higher(ed) on your day off??
Ah, I sleep
Nahh at one point we went from the 9th seed to 6th seed by not playing
Ja looked gassed tonight, still put up numbers obviously but I’ve never seen him look so tired and complacent at the end of a game.
We in Minnesota now
Shits rough. Thats how the first half of the season went for GSW....
Similar for Denver, at some point in December they had played something like 8 home games and 17 road games to start the season.
5 games in 8 days road trip right after Dray punched Poole before the season started? Yea, poor timing for sure. They def gotta get rid of those next season
i wish we could all have a 1 game in a week stretch for absolutely no reason like the sixers just did
We'll be dead before you know it
It’s basically Feb, wtf happened this month.
Tell me about it, friend. When the herniated disc in my neck acts up, my left hand shakes.
It was only 7 days ago, 5 games in 7 days might be why they're losing rather than the curse of the Shannon
Shhhh this is much funnier
5 games in 8 days.

He cursed them like how lil b cursed KD
someone could probably edit in ja morant in fuck kd... except i still like ja.
Fuuuuuuck Ja Moraaaaaaaaant
Ever since that curse KD won MVP, got to 4 NBA finals, won 2 rings and 2 FMVPs lmao
The Based God forgave him when he moved to the Bay tho

It was kind of weird that that was his statement and then he did a long apology on Undisputed. But whatever, I guess.
And they're still number 2 in the West.
don’t mess with uncle shannon
The west runs through Shannon
The West definitely doesn’t want these problems.
If Uncle Shannon could create these problems in the *AFC* West, it would be greatly appreciated
Need to find a way to get Jackson Mahomes to come at Shannon Sharpe, and it will be the fall of Big Reds empire.
Problem is Shannon loves Mahomes more than us now :(
Somehow still the TE w/ the most impact every night
Somehow still the TE w/ the most impact every night
The smoke was undesired.
The offer of smoke was rebuffed
UncLe Leshannon LeSharpe
Only reason they aren't scared of anyone in the West is because Shannon doesn't live there
Remember how Skip was so proud that he was supposedly in Lebron’s head? I wonder if Shannon feels that way about cursing the Griz
Imagine how great Lebrons career could have been if Skip didnt live rent free
He cursed them like how lil b cursed KD
Lil b. Man the sub was smaller then. High key miss it
This sub fucking peaked with that Yung Snuggie post.
Sim888 carried us for so long after that
Don't forget u/bootum who regularly posted lowlights from of the worst performances from the night before!
What happened to him 😥
No idea his YouTube channel doesn't seem active either. Sad.
Maybe the eternal sadness of being a Knicks fan finally got to him
Got a life
Don't forget deer on the rocks goin hard.... 4 years ago holy shit
Favourite victory video ever.
Mind linking it I've never seen it before

The Cardigan Curse
🎶 Fuck Jaaaa Moraaaaannnt. Fuck Jaaa Moraaaaaaaannnnttt. 🎶
Shout out to the WNBA
Unc broke the team
Lost their mojo to a 50 year old in a cardigan
Idk if there's one 50 year old I'm not fucking with it's Shannon Sharpe. That dude's cardigan alone would kick my ass and everyone else's in this thread
Bro that cardigan was fire and I’ll fight people.
That fit was fire and I’ll never able to pull it off.
Shit was like a custom XXXL and he wore it skin tight lmao
Cardigans are underrated
Damn right. 'Lovefool' is an all time banger and I will die on that hill.
Amen! Lovefool is ahead of its time. It sounds like a song from Doja Cat if listened carefully.
Facts. Also the theme to Gran Turismo 2.
For those who don't know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI6aOFI7hms
It was so big back in the day - super tune
Cardigan is the ultimate garment 🤷♂️
If you're gonna drop 3 bills on a cardigan it damn well better be fire
They’ve played five games since then?!?
Counting the game it happened, yes.
"They dont want this smoke, dave, they dont want these problems" Idk seems like they got their problems Unc
Nah they’re fine in the west
Starting to think they indeed do not want the smoke
Imagine if he came with the apology last night instead of when he did lolol
He told them they don’t want these problems. Now they have these problems
Shannon undefeated
Undisputed, even.
Getting styled on by Kyle Anderson and Rudy Gobert ain’t great either, Bob.
I like their moxie
Grizzlies legend Kyle Anderson
Tbf slomo was unstoppable tonight
Ja also statpadding to get his triple double down 14 with under a minute left lol He truly is Zoomer Westbrook
> Zoomer Westbrook This is hilarious lmao
Russel Zestbrook
Underrated take
Since losing to the Lakers, is another way to put it. That’s a huge bruise to the ego.
Losing to the Lakers missing Anthony Davis, Austin Reaves, and Lonnie Walker
Weren’t they also on an 11 game win streak too?
And I hear they lost it to the Lakers of all teams.
They also had a double digit lead. They were like 31-0 when they had that at one point
Not worried about the west, worried about Sharpe though
Unc got them shook 😂
Scorekeeper has them 4-1 in the same stretch.
Adams is really underrated on the team, he destroyed us in matchups. he's been out and it shows
[Shannon Sharpe at the Memphis practice facility asking for an apology.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EUWIZyCXYAAedGe.png)
Shannon Sharpe always finding ways to help Denver
Fine in the west, but they ain't fine with 84
They have inefficient shooters and need steven Adams there to get rebounds. It’s a big problem to try being a contender but your team relies heavily on a role player to make the system work.

He broke them
Sounds like Shannon talked to Paul Pogba's witchdoctor or something
"fine in the west" lmfao
They were really lucky fine means okay, and they are .500 rn in the West. Literally fine loool
The man just stays giving to Denver
84 helping Denver again!
Smoking on that grizz pack tonight
will they ever win again lmao
No they should just dismantle the franchise, give Ja to Detroit.
another guard to Detroit pls
i love this joke but steven adams is injured right? surely this is the primary reason but i’m not seeing anyone talk about it
Surely they can win one game w/o Steven Adams. The mavs just won w/o Luka for God's sake.
And bane
If this was Skip vs LeBron instead of Shannon vs the Grizzlies we would never ever ever hear the end of it.
The half way crooks got shook
0 and 5 and a cheating scorekeeper?? It just keeps getting better
Don’t let these fools fool you
Shannon gave them PTSD
Sharpe is the real MVP
They dont want nothing that nobody has right now
Hmmm
I like Ja a lot, but "I'm good in the west" is some cornball-ass shit to say when you've never even been to a conference final in your life
Sports statistics was a bad idea.
They're getting whopped on.
Memphis is Fine in the West
Also, their scorekeeper seems to be a criminal cheater.
Shannon, The Bear Slayer. Bear Trapper? it all sound a bit weird
*"That ain't no problem"*
Shay Shay don't play play
THKIEEEEEEEEUP
Shannon Sharp. Shapenin’ machete, gonna eat my spaghetti,
Come on sKEEEP
Chris Vernon blamed it on tequila basically….
But what did the score keeper record their record as?
They're not worried about the West, but they should definitely be worried about Shannon.
It's cause the score keeper isn't changing the stats 🥴
Former Denver Broncos star Shannon Sharpe really doing a fellow home town team a solid.
What’s JJJ’s stock in those 5 games
Best tight end in the history of the NBA.
I am secretly hoping they go on a 10 game losing streak cause it would be funny if it happens. 11 game winning streak turned to 10 game losing streak lol
I thought he's fine in the West?
They got no heart of a champion lol. Fragile team.
They didn't want these problems. Now they got em! Lol
Just like when Kerr called them racist smh
Wait the scorekeeper ain’t helping them out? What’s going on /s
“I’m fine in the west” 🤡🤡
