The best surprise in Memphis isn't the Grizzlies' 21-6 start to the season.
Rather, the team with the third-best record in the Western Conference did something so nice for one of its interns that it'll have you forgetting all about the Grizzlies' strong start.
Brandon Henderson, a 24-year-old team personnel intern, had his 1993 Chrysler New Yorker stolen while on a date in downtown Memphis. Upon finding out about Henderon's misfortune, the team's players chipped in to buy Henderson a new car.
"I don't know how the guys found out," Henderson said. " ... I try to keep stuff that happens at home away from work. It didn't seem real. It seemed like a dream. It’s like stuff you see on TV. They’d didn’t have to do it, but it’s a blessing."
Here are some videos of the heartwarming moment when the players surprised Henderson with a new Nissan Altima:
