Memphis Grizzlies star big man Marc Gasol in his 10th season in the league all spent with the franchise that has seen him put together a highly productive career.
According to ESPN Stats & Info, Gasol has now pushed himself atop of the record books in Grizzlies history by passing up former longtime teammate Zach Randolph for most made field goals.
Marc Gasol has now made 3,733 field goals in his NBA career, all for the Grizzlies.
That is the most in Grizzlies’ franchise history. He becomes the 4th active player to lead their current franchise in career field goals made.

Gasol has been a source of much stability for the franchise over his career as he's developed into one of the most well-rounded players in the league. In the process, he has become a dependable scorer that has taken up more of a scoring load over the last few seasons as he's coming off averaging a career-high 19.5 points that last season that helped him earn his third All-Star selection.
The 32-year-old is in the midst of another productive campaign where he's averaging a team-best 18.6 points despite the Grizzlies' continued struggles on the court, having dropped nine straight games and firing their head coach David Fizdale earlier this week. It has been a difficult start to the season, but Gasol has remained productive and a reason for optimism.
Beyond that, Gasol should be reaching another few major franchise milestones this season by passing his brother, Pau Gasol, for the all-time free throws attempted mark (3,152) and Randolph for made two-point field goals (3,668). It may just be a matter of time before he owns many of the team records.
