NBA Fans are dragging Memphis Grizzlies ownership after a revealing interview clip stirred up fresh anger and plenty of jokes.
@pablofindsout shared a segment from his conversation with David P. Samson, where Samson explained that Robert Pera originally wanted to move the Grizzlies to Las Vegas after buying the team. According to Samson, that plan died after Pera agreed to a “poison pill” clause that made relocation impossible.

In the clip, @DavidPSamson went further, saying NBA owners would never allow a new owner to take the Las Vegas market for himself. For NBA Fans, that line alone explained years of tension between ownership and the Memphis fanbase.
The reactions came fast. @RandolphJSardis ignored the business talk completely and went straight for shock humor, asking, “Robert Pera? The war criminal?”
The comment spread quickly, becoming the shorthand joke under the post as NBA Fans piled on.
Others took a more serious tone. @ohokvontae said, “Memphis fanbase appreciates this more than you’ll ever know Pablo. It’s all making sense now.”
For many NBA Fans, the interview helped connect dots that had long felt confusing, from quiet decision-making to a lack of clear direction.
The clip reignited old fears that Memphis was never meant to be a long-term home. NBA Fans debated whether the city was always a backup plan rather than the priority. This reaction isn’t just about relocation rumors resurfacing. It reflects years of built-up frustration that spilled out once someone finally said the quiet part out loud.
As the interview continues to circulate, NBA Fans aren’t laughing it off. They’re using humor as a way to process what feels like confirmation of their worst suspicions.
NBA Fans Turn on Grizzlies After Another Loss Fuels Ownership Anger
While NBA Fans were still reacting to the relocation revelation, the Memphis Grizzlies added fuel to the fire with another rough night on the court.
@memgrizz posted “Final.” alongside graphics showing a 97–112 loss to the Charlotte Hornets. The flat presentation did nothing to soften the blow.
NBA Fans responded with sarcasm almost instantly. @YanaHeat commented, “That’s an incredible finish, Grizzlies – you absolutely dominated!” It was unclear if the post was hopeful or pure irony, but the tone matched the mood surrounding the team.
The frustration spilled into deeper complaints. @grizzball_ summed up the feeling in one long post: “what happened to the team i used to love.. my owners a war criminal, jaylen wells is still starting over gg, jaren putting up tour dates, fix this team man.” The comment blended humor, anger, and exhaustion in a way many NBA Fans recognized immediately.
For NBA Fans, the loss wasn’t viewed in isolation. It stacked on top of ownership distrust, long-term questions, and a sense that everything feels off at once. When results are bad, patience gets thinner, and jokes get darker.
Some NBA Fans tried to keep perspective, but the timing made that difficult. With relocation talk resurfacing and losses piling up, even routine games feel heavier than they should.
Right now, NBA Fans aren’t asking for miracles. They want clarity, effort, and a reason to believe the team still has a real future where it is. Until then, every loss will feel bigger than the score.
