Went from Mountain Mike on the Jazz to Minnesota Mike with the Wolves. I’m glad Sota got him.
Wolves trading DLo for Conley and NAW was such a huge upgrade for this team. Conley brings the maturity and BBIQ the Wolves need; a stable pretense that they can always rely on. He’s been a pleasure to watch; I wish we weren’t catching him towards the end of his career because he’s such an easy guy to root for
LOL Mike's kids getting excited for the move from the Jazz to the Wolves because they like animals is just adorable hahaha
"They have the Mall of America - the biggest mall in the country!"
His kids: "I want to go to Minnesota now!"
They're so adorable lol
Unfortunately, between those moments it can be a rough ride
Wow, this is an excellent read! Thank you for sharing.
We love Bite Bite here!
Mike has always been underappreciated- not that he's been spectacular under the radar, but that he's amazing at certain things that are still incredibly valuable in the modern NBA, but not nearly as valued.
PGs these days are valued on their ability to hit the above the break pull up or yam on the defense if that get overplayed, and their ability to survive on defense. Conley is a PG in old school mold- he's the dude that could have scored 25, but decided to score 15 while keeping his entire team engaged and running hard (because guys like PJ Tucker are few and far between- guys who are capable of being elite role player and actually play up that potential whether or not they get the ball).
Wasn't he the highest paid player in the NBA at some point?
He signed the biggest contract at one point, yearly salary LeBron was paid more then Steph signed a bigger one and has had the highest yearly salary
Whenever it's a Krawczynski tweet I immediately think it's the Unabomber
I always think of Randall Park.
This is unrelated but as an east coaster I appreciate that Mike Conley has found a niche being a point guard for historically less glamorous west coast teams that all wear blue, feels like a very natural career progression tbh
So many wolves fans were calling him washed. I'm glad he set them straight!
No they didnt...
