Its a classic basketball copypasta that was started by a Grizzlies fan(?) on a Reddit post. Its often used whenever a team is under performing hence the joke of it being a good, honest team that doesn’t win to many.
Memphis Grizzlies (basketball)
This was a good, honest .500 basketball team. We played .500 ball goddammit. Salt of the earth, punch the clock, even win/loss ratio basketball. We lost a couple, guess what? We won a couple, too. But we never got too excited or let it go to our head. No long winning streaks here, no sir. That's hubris, which this blue collar, hard working everyman team didn't have. A few wins in a row, these guys, true to form, balanced it out with a couple a losses. Yes sir, that was my 2021 Grizzlies. A good, honest .500 basketball team. White Sox (baseball)
