Zach Randolph attacked Blake Griffin over and over until they had beef

- The Clippers-Grizzlies rivalry of the early 2010s was awesome -- good games, even better fouls and fights. In the middle of it all were two power forwards who kind of represented their teams' opposing reputations. Blake Griffin was the bright and shiny young superstar of "Lob City" -- high-flying and awe-inspiring. Zach Randolph was the tough, older bully; exactly what the Grizzlies meant when they described themselves as "grit and grind."
What did that amount to? Beef! Randolph tried constantly to engage Griffin in some on-court scuffling: he poked, he prodded, he wrestled, he body-slammed ... he even choked. Zach baited Blake repeatedly, then questioned his toughness in the media when the younger player refused to respond.
This is the tale of a pure beef, albeit a kind of one-sided one.

Lob City vs Grit and Grind
One of the best rivalries in 2010s
Grizzles were my favorite underdogs to root for.
@@drewsg3 I still remember those playoffs when I think most people were starting to be Rudy Gay fans instead of KD fans. Rudy Gay was suppouse to be KD, but he chose to shoot a shot on a game 7 I think and belive for the win instead of just driving it and scoring it for the win. The Rudy Gay got traded. I swear and I think and I belive if Rudy Gay makes that shot, and didnt break his hand he might of been KD right now with a championship.
Ochoa Guillermo was with u till u said he’d be kd and with the championship stuff, go look at the start of their careers my mine. Kd already won 2 scoring champs at that point, gay was far from that
@@mruk14 Ok I will, but I think Rudy Gays career could of had been different and maybe better if he made that buzzer beater after that; they traded him and it is almost like he kept fading away slowly then very quickly once KD got so good and Kawai, and Paul George came out of nowhere and started to get ahead of Rudy Gay. In my opinion even tough that is true the scoring titles KD had Rudy Gay was in Memphis with a lot of good players, and I think his career could of been better. I look at him now and he is just a spot up shooter in San Antonio and playing center on defense.
Warriors and Clips had a dope rivalry too
you could create a whole series on players that Zach Randolph annoyed
Like all of his teammates before Memphis . He was the worst blackhole in the NBA at the time. Let me remind you in a league with Kobe and melo this guy was the biggest black hole lol
No he really wasn't lol

I can't believe Blake kept his cool whilst being choked slammed by Zach Randolph
Whilst lmao
The only person Blake can beat up is the equipment manager. He's weak.
Michael Nares yea that 6’10 ripped guy is “weak”
ear knees elbows he is pretty soft, but no doubt he is big.
Michael Nares he’s clearly not weak. He just exerts self control and realizes that as a player he is a role model.
It's hard to call someone a flopper when you're out here giving people spinebusters and chokeslams, zBo...
wanderlustwarrior wrong F word lmao
😂😂
You I'm 💀💀💀
Can only take so many cheap fouls called against you before you start wanting to make them earn it.
Really? If u wanna give Griffin a pass because of that, so be it.
Bet he'll trade that competitive spirit for a chance to get back into the playoffs, again.
Young Blake Griffin had that lego man hair. Snapped it on before a game.
lmaoooo

Blake is actually tough for keeping his cool most of the time
what was he gonna do? fight back and get killed?
@@shotokhan1992 he might not be as aggresive at zbo, but no one just RKOs someone like he did
The emotions involved in reacting to things are not helpful.
@@sam21skin yea the flops are too much😂
He's tough for getting smacked around and not responding to Zach?
Such an underrated rivalry, Grizzlies-Thunder got really intense too.
You aint lying either i remember that series vividly
james kreisler I still rep that the greatest dunk in NBA history is Teyshaun dunking on the entire team in OKC.
@@stevemygoodman7809 😂 true
Grizzlies versus Spurs as well
Desmond Henry excluding the time where they upset them as an 8 seed (since they didn’t have manu) it was really a one sided affair. i remember conley came up big a few times and got the nickname captain clutch. but pop was great at coming up with a scheme to stop the grizz getting in the paint
The two teams were so interesting too because they had their star players at the same positions. They both had their best players at PG, PF and C and a two man SG platoon
Zach's retirement marks the end of the bully ball era :(
No
Giannis, Embiid, when DeMarcus Cousins comes bacc all guys who keepin bully ball alive
hockey doesnt have tough eras, cause its always tough
giannis alive
@@chaselionzo4401 dont even compare giannis to Randolph
The refs officiated that one series so damn poorly if they thought those were double fouls.
im surprised joey crawford (#17) was part of that officiating
As a grizzlies fan I remember Griffin and Z-bo had like 8 straight games where they had double fouls or double techs
Blake used to do a ton of bs. Virtually all of his post ups early in his career could have been called offensive fouls. He would just try to run over guys and half his dunks involve an uncalled off hand foul. Embiid is the NBA's current Blake Griffin in terms of constant bs.
@@The1stFishBone well yea in the early 2010s blake was the NBA's poster boy so they wanted him to be very successful and let him get away with a lot
A Zach Randolph Charles Oakley battle would be legendary
Random, but I like it.
cat not random. Oakley is also a bully on the court. I would like to see the two go toe to toe
Or Larry Johnson, Or David West.. any of these 4 were tough as nails
Amen
Zach don't want that smoke smh
Randolph: It’s playoff basketball, no excuses
Also Randolph: We lost cuz they flopped and I was hurt
ZacAttackFTW50 they did flop, and he did go over board physically. Both are true
@@notatrollll no excuses. Lol

Such an underrated rivalry!

Just you wait, Seth.
Do a Beef History between Blake and Blake's knees. RIP Detroit Pistons 2005 never forget :-(
Bro, u gonna make me fking cry. and for the record, i always wanted ZBo in blue n red. To me, the day we traded Chauncey to AI, that killed our team. worst trade in nba history.
“After he fed Lou Amundson this knuckle sandwich” lmao
I'm from Memphis, a HUGE Grizzlies fan. You've done good on this one lol the way you told the whole rivalry WITHOUT making Blake look soft was good 👍
Zach is a beast, he took the spurs out when Rudy gay got injured. He's one of the dark alley guys like Tony Allen
True💯
Tony Allen was a NUT JOB
Sugar D and that’s why memphis loved him...FIRST TEAM ALL DEFENSE
Man Randolph use to be my favorite behind Kobe. He was just so tough to deal with down low. Had no athleticism but would routinely give it to the best power forwards. I'm looking at you Griffin and Aldridge lol.
He really did💯
Bro, idk if its your voice, the story line, the weed, or a combination of them all. But I can't help but get the chills almost every time I watch these beef stories
Lol Randolph would’ve been ejected if he did that stuff to the stars today...How things change in just 8 years
"Sky demon" is an amazing description of Blake.
Mistake: The Clippers did not have 56 wins in 2012, it was the lockout-shortened 66 game season and the Spurs had the top seed with 50 wins. 56 wins was in 2013.
good call, added a correction
Prithvi Kantan - The lockout-shortened season was the 2010-2011 season: not the 2011-2012 season. Remember: the Mavericks won the NBA Finals in the lockout-shortened season: the 2011 playoffs.
@@mikelmoon100 nope, it was 2011-2012. Please have a look online :)
@@PrithviKantan - Yep: it was the 2011-2012 season. It was after the Mavericks won the 2011 NBA Finals (during the summer of 2011). You are correct.
Y'ALL TALKED ABOUT THE GRIZZ‼️ More Grizz content PLEEEEEEZZZZZZ. Never clicked so fast. Wish I could like this a million times.
When I see "beef" I click
Pause
Z-Bo: "it's the playoffs everyone's injured"
Also Z-Bo: "I was hurt last yr I'm healthy now"
self awareness is a great thing I promise 😆
What’s crazy is that both teams were literally a SF away from actually being good enough to make the finals
Johnny 2X4 rudy gay was good tho they just didn’t have enough shooting
@@splashbros-yc9lk Nope. he didnt play defense. and he didnt have heart. its why we traded him. Tony allen and Zach didnt care much for him because he didnt want to bring it when it mattered. Its why when we got Tayshuan we made a run for the Conference finals. Had we actually had a SF that could play defense like Tayshaun but actually score consistently we could have made the finals. Rudy was inefficient as hell. I still remember him pouting when Kwahi gave that man hell in a regular season game and held him to 2 points. That dude has no heart!
@@lugeneparker 💯 all truth he's gay
Yep....
Z-BO was great for Memphis and the city still loves him. He was a beast on court and would do anything for people in the city. Most people don't know all he did off the court. Grit N Grind!
What did he do off the court?
Z-Bo did alot of community, and charity work and paid out of his own pocket. He help the city of Memphis by providing money for houses,and I remember him giving out cars to single moms. He also devoted himself to Christ!
He sold a bunch of weed too
Went to high school with Z-Bo, he always been that
I loved watching these 2 teams battle during the early 2010's!!
This was a great time to be a Grizzlies fan!
Can’t help but feel that same hope now with Morant, Clarke, and Jackson Jr.
Man I miss those Clippers. One of my favorite squads of all time. I actually flew across the country just to see them play in Staples against the Thunder in 2014
"Basketbeef" nice
*Basket of beef

Someone should do "the creation of SB nation deserves a deep rewind"
will say “no” on every comment i see
no
Conley, Allen, Gay, Rudolph, Marc Gasol. No ring. Damn.
Not at all surprising; that's a very good but definitely not elite lineup (of individual talent), more akin to the 04/5 Pistons, and their title win was a complete shock.
Edward Coupe maybe not a lot of star players but they do their jobs and if they had enough time and in an era where there were no super team or just a weak era I think they could’ve easily won multiple
@@whatwelearned basically that's what we were hoping for here in Memphis
MattyIce 24680 Rudy gay was a black hole & a underachieving wing
Daniel Curl they traded offense for even more defense. this was prime marc gasol where him conley and zbo would close the close games. gasol started shooting more, conley hit big buckets, and zbo hyped up the crowd.
god i miss this team lmao
The production and narrative of these videos are amazing! Favorite series on CZcams
'' in my hood bullies get bullied '' Z-BO
As a clipper fan I loved this rivalry and I think Blake improved himself every year because these playoff series
As a lifelong Memphis grizzly fan since 2001, no group of players has reflected the city of Memphis like Grit & Grind! Zach Randolph put the team on his back & we had playoff success for 7 straight years. Tony Allen, Marc Gasol, & Mike Conley made the Grizzlies franchise what it was. Those Playoff games with the Clippers will go down in history.
@Fetter Oger aus Emskirchen The Grizzlies are EVERYTHING to Memphis. It's always been about the University of Memphis Tigers for years but since Grit & Grind, Memphis fell in love with them
lol. The history of mediocrity. Well done.
@@videoorgy Right, it was stupid to be a fan. Even dumber to go to games and have great memories too. So lame of me 😅 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🙄😒
@@CTM901 Attaboy! Self-awareness is a great first step.
@@videoorgy what a waste of two comments. You want a cookie?
Randolph was the last of his kind. I miss seeing a league with guys like him
Facts
I’m sooooo excited for this! I love these videos!!
This was the best nba era in my opinion.
Been waiting patiently for more Beef History!
I've been running thru your channel watching all your vids, your vids are literally amazing and I thank you for your effort to make them
Those Memphis teams were fun for that short time. Shout out my dude Tony Allen. Underrated.
Oh I’ve never clicked a video so fast
We always need more episodes! Well done gentlemen!
I love this series when you do NBA Beefs!!!
Back then ppl forgot Serge Ibaka when he used to play for OKC had a personal vendetta against Blake😂 He had a target on his back in the 2010's
Finally a new beef episode!!!
Can you do something about iverson???
They can only do a "Collapse" video for Iverson
Either that or maybe an Untitled
Man Ioved the grizzlies and Randolph was my favorite player great video
Appreciate the research done for these
Damn Zach Randolph literally bullied Blake his first few NBA years career lol
"We could've had a ww3 but unfortunately we didnt"
Welp thats a way to get demonatised in CZcams 2020
I met Blake Griffin a few years ago and the TV doesn’t do justice to how huge these guys are. Griffin isn’t even super big for an NBA player but he’s a literal giant around the rest of us.
Thank you Secret Base for so many wonderful videos to watch! You have a new fan in me!
Who can forget that classic comeback in the 2012 Playoffs by the Clippers. Game was done at halftime and the Clippers ended up coming back from being down by like 30 and winning it all.
Best playoff series of the decade...
Love you guys SOOOOOOO much! Keep making that awesome content!
Make one of these every week!!!!
That Griffin/Gasol picture is gold
As a Grizzlies fan I love being able to see a video on Zach Randolph/The Grit & Grind Era. Although they never won a championship (or played in one), I feel like this team never quite got the respect they deserved.
Still watching 💪💪💪 March 4, 2022
Zach Randolph 🔥🔥🔥
dude you need to make more of these. i hate waiting for your stuff and your narration lol
2:23 I can't believe they passed on Curry. That Memphis team was built perfectly for Curry to dominate. They desperately need 3 point shooting and had great defenders at every position to cover up for his deficiencies!
Yea but no other consistent shooters to help create more space on top of stellar defense
harden is actually the perfect pick if you think about it
Yeh harden wouldve been better especially considering how long steph took to become well steph curry
@@yeah8709 it only took Steph time cuz of his horrible ankle injuries early in his career. If you watched him early on, he still shot the same way that he does now.
@@harveybrenord1004 Harden might have been a better fit positionally but eventually I think he would've been unhappy with his role on the team! It took Harden until this year to figure out how to kind of co-exist with another elite ball-handler (even now, he's not great at it). His lack of effort on D and the fact that he has NO off-ball movement whatsoever would not have fit with the Grizz team/culture. They would have had to use him as a 6th man and I don't think he would've been as cool with it as he was in OKC.
Watched the entire thing and the first thing in my mind was "Damn Matt Barnes! One of the best teammates ever"
Ay just saying freaking love this channel and the sports beef is my favorite segment.i was just pissed at my self because I was watching you guys so much I forgot to subscribe😂😂😂 so I did😂😂if you did one over the 1995 pacers Vs Knicks that would be dope.Awsome channel💯💯💯💯💯
Great video, although I love how the bleep did absolutely zero 🤣🤣🤣
Zach Randolph was just a savage simple and plain 😂😂😂
Beef started once Z-Bo was traded to free up playing time for starlet out of college.
GOOD STUFF..... PLS MORE LIKE THAT... BUT MORE VIDEOS THAN TEXTS
dont think I'll ever have a thrill watching basketball like I did watching the gng grizzlies. Especially playoff time. Did nothing all day but think about those series all day when in the midst of them.
Still think it's a travesty that neither of those teams could get over the hump. I was cheering for both of them (I'm a Hawks fan so I need *something* to cheer for)
As a clippers fan, watching those games was awesome. At the time I was mad frustrated with how much Randolph would get away with. But I couldn’t help liking those grit and grind Grizzlies and still like memphis now tbh
One of the best series rivalries in recent times
I been waiting for this son 💡🎥🎬 🏀 💯

Two Ultimate competitors
Two different styles
Head on collision but neither backing

I think one day they could be good friends
Nothing personal just Basketball
Great video!!🔥🔥🏀

Grit & Grind Forever!!!! Ⓜ️
Grizzlies were the most exciting unexciting team to exist, prove me wrong
The early 2000s Spurs?
Lob city was my squad at that time, as I'm from Southern Cali and was never allowed to like the Lakers while growing up haha. But damn, I had great respect for that Grizz squad. It was sad to see Zach Randolph and Gasol leave. 6 God for life
These were some of my favorite series’ of all time
Zach said f it and took all the beef
9:47 - "We could've had a World War III, and it's a real shame we didn't."
Careful what you wish for, Seth...
Great video and presentation.
Seth please never stop doing narrations thanks
growing up watching lob city i vividly remember hating Z-Bo 😂😂 dude would straight up bully young blake until he changed his game up. Once blake utilized his skills rather than athleticism Z-Bo basically quit all the antics
Steven Lopez nah, he just got too old period. his last season with memphis before he got traded, he came off the bench
Nah bruh. Wasn't any antics. Blake tried to act tough and Memphis basically ended that team and Blake got traded b4 Randolph was traded yo time screwed all the way up lol. Last time they met in the playoffs zbo choke slammed him AND grizz won. How is that quiting the antics..... LOL
Lugene Parker After that series there was little to no interaction between the two. They both played physical, but Zach wasnt trying to suplex blake like he used to. Blake’s game grew and Z-Bo got older.
@@stevenlopez1255 you just said it yourself. They didn't have any interaction. You're making it seem like Blake made him quit the antics which isn't the case. Zbo got older. But he could still play. He just wanted to retire because he didn't have the speed teams wanted him to play at. He can still get buckets. And Blake wanted no part of him. Dude quit on Chris Paul imo. Chris Paul and Mat Barnes wanted the smoke. He didn't. Zbo respected those to. He didn't respect blake
i cant wait for the collapse episode on the warriors
it literally hasnt even been a full season since they were in the finals and their two best players are injured
3:10 A perfect snapshot of Blake’s transition from his hair at the moment to what it’s been from 2012 onward 🤣🤣
I love forgetting having seen episodes of Beef History.
