During the 2012-13 season, the Grizzlies recorded a franchise-record 56 regular-season wins. They also went all the way to the Western Conference Finals that term -- the farthest they've gone since being established as a team in 1995 -- but were defeated by the mighty San Antonio Spurs in four games.
Nevertheless, it's hard to argue against the notion that the 2012-13 Grizzlies squad represents the best roster in franchise history. The quartet of Rudy Gay, Marc Gasol, Mike Conley, and Zach Randolph led the way for Memphis that year. They had a solid supporting cast that featured the likes of Tayshaun Prince, Tony Allen, and Jerryd Bayless. Other role players on the team included Quincy Poindexter, Wayne Ellington, Darrell Arthur, Ed David, and Mareese Speights. The team's head coach that season was Lionel Hollins.
