We discuss the unlikely birth of the Grit and Grind era and how the Memphis Grizzlies keep outperforming expectations and bucking trends on the latest episode of The Step Back’s Day-to-Day NBA Podcast, hosted by Jason Mann.

We are joined by Keith Parish of the Fastbreak Breakfast NBA podcast to look how Memphis has managed to stay competitive despite lacking a top-tier superstar, how the Grizzlies are among a rare set of teams who have been this consistently good but not made the NBA Finals, how Memphis’ core (Mike Conley, Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph and Tony Allen) was put together almost seemingly with a plan.

We also discuss how the Grizzlies have dealt with ownership and executive dysfunction yet thrived, and how with a hopefully healthy Chandler Parsons the team has possibly its best shot to make it deep into the playoffs.
