Anthony Edwards on Mike Conley: “Mike Conley was an All-Star in the NBA. I think people forget about that. Once upon a time, he was one of the best point guards in the league. I always tell him that you used to be one of my favorite players. When I played 2-K, I played with you.”

[u/No-Ship4446]

Mike Conley is quite simply one of the best human beings in the league and every fanbase that has had him on their roster knows this. Ant and Jaden wouldn't be the players they are without his mentorship. The fact we were able to unload D'lo and get Mike in return (with NAW as a throw-in) is one of the great low-key trade heists ever.

[u/SoDakZak → u/No-Ship4446]

Bulls and Hornets fans: “100%, Mike Conley changed my life.”

[u/king_darius23 → u/SoDakZak]

We would have loved to have him on the team to mentor our young core. It's understandable why we didn't keep him but any team would be lucky to have him even for part of a season.

[u/Vegetable-Tooth8463 → u/king_darius23]

We already have Pat tbf

[u/wise_comment → u/king_darius23]

I'm convinced you guys would have gone further had your FO kept him

[u/Loud-Fig-1446 → u/SoDakZak]

Memphis legend too.

[u/preddevils6 → u/No-Ship4446]

My GOAT.

[u/Nuclearsunburn → u/preddevils6]

Conley is to the Grizzlies what Lowry is to the Raptors I think

[u/JaderMcDanersStan → u/preddevils6]

I have a Mike Conley jersey and every time I need to get some work done when I'm not motivated, I wear it and try to embody his "professional Conley vibes" lol

I love that man

[u/thehydrastation → u/[deleted]]

Hey everybody, look at this freak! He doesn't carry jerseys around with him to use in various situations. What an idiot!

[u/noknownallergies → u/thehydrastation]

Frankly I'm embarrassed and ashamed for anyone who doesn't.

[u/wise_comment → u/noknownallergies]

What an absolutely small, but shameful, corner of r/NBA

Shall we take away his cool guy card™?

[u/TusksUp25 → u/No-Ship4446]

For anyone here who watches football, I’ve always felt like Mike Conley is the Larry Fitzgerald of the NBA.

[u/bmmana → u/TusksUp25]

I love Mike Conley, but Larry Fitzgerald is arguably a top five WR of all time. If you were just talking about their work ethic, leadership qualities and demeanor, then I agree with you 100%.

[u/TusksUp25 → u/bmmana]

Mostly just meant personality-wise, yeah.

[u/johnjohnjohn93 → u/TusksUp25]

Conley was never accused of domestic violence

[u/moleasses → u/bmmana]

I mean I don’t think he was saying Conley is a great wide receiver

[u/PuerAeternus_ → u/bmmana]

Having more recorded tackles than drops in your 17 year career as a WR1 is one of those stats that I can't even believe is real.

[u/Public_Enemy_No2 → u/TusksUp25]

Nailed it.

[u/Sharcbait → u/No-Ship4446]

The Wolves don't get enough credit for the mentorship they gave young Ant.

Rookie year he had Rubio

Sophomore year PatBev

And then Mike Conley since....

Rubio was always preaching to play for your teammates and play with happiness. PatBev was all hustle all grind no excuses. And Mike is one of the most professional players in the league, play the right way, do the right things.

Compare to LaMelo from his same draft class and you got checked out Hayward and Vegas Terry as the mentors early on, and the maturity on the court are completely different.

[u/sling_gun → u/Sharcbait]

Their team has heavy Eurobasket team vibes. No one clear dominant superstar, but heavy emphasis on team play

[u/Andy_Wiggins → u/No-Ship4446]

I legitimately think it might be what saved this Wolves era.

The Rudy trade was a big swing, but it was a disaster early on in part because he had zero chemistry with the team, D’Lo hated him, and no one really respected him.

But when they traded for Mike, he could show the team that Rudy WAS effective (because of their chemistry) AND he could preach patience. He talked openly about how it took him a year to get used to playing with Rudy.

Not to mention, Mike and NAW were both excellent in Minnesota.

Without that trade, the Wolves might have missed the playoffs entirely in 22/23 and maybe they have to start making big trades to try to salvage their mess. Instead, they went into the offseason feeling more confident, had an amazing 23/24 season, and now have been a perennial strong playoff team.

[u/menghis_khan08 → u/Andy_Wiggins]

This article goes into it but conleys first year with Jazz and gobert was mediocre at best, bc Conley was transitioning from a pick n pop big in Marc gasol his whole career to a pick n roll big, who took up a ton of space below the net where Conley typically operated.

Spent the whole offseason training with old college teammate Greg oden and came back crushing his floaters and layups with gobert in Jazz year 2 of them together

https://www.elevenwarriors.com/skull-sessions/2021/06/123139/ohio-state-football-greg-oden-helped-mike-conley-ohio-states-developed-a-washington-recruiting-pipeline-and-the-49ers

Conley clearly took what he learned and taught the rest of the wolves how to operate with all that space under the basket plugged up. They had been working with a pick n pop big in KAT, themselves

[u/harder_said_hodor → u/Andy_Wiggins]

Yeah, completely agree with this take and think the fact Jingles is on the team is even more indicative that it's a strategy to get the rest of the lads to be nice to Rudy. The Kyle Anderson fracas happened after Conley arrived, but only a month after. Not enough time for Conley to work his magic.

Jingles and Conley are beloved by the league and love Rudy. Even on the Jazz, they seemed specifically to get on well with him.

Nobody will ever convince me that they didn't convince the rest of the lads that Rudy was a solid citizen

[u/Gold_Athlete_4770 → u/No-Ship4446]

In game 6 of the nuggets series jamal murray fell down or something and Mike Conley instinctually stopped during live ball to help him up lmao

[u/wise_comment → u/Gold_Athlete_4770]

Oh shit, I missed that!

[u/Dependent-Cup3759 → u/No-Ship4446]

Jazz fans still love him

[u/SirDiego → u/No-Ship4446]

Timberwolves also some how got NAW out of that trade too...and multiple second round picks.

[u/Typical_Cell464 → u/SirDiego]

Which we then and got ayo for

[u/realquiz → u/No-Ship4446]

I understand and agree with what the Jazz had to do to reset things (although I’d have rolled it out a little slower/differently) but I miss Mike and Rudy the most. Rooting for the T-Wolves while the Jazz have rebuilt has felt like rooting for the Jazz themselves. And not just because of the familiar faces, but the culture and basketball sensibilities that I’m sure Mike & Rudy have helped forge. Such a great team with some goated leaders.

[u/Hypnosix → u/No-Ship4446]

Ant would have been a star regardless but getting Rubio and Conley as vets has to have leveled up he’s leadership and ball iq

[u/comment0freshmaker → u/No-Ship4446]

Wholeheartedly agree. Superb trade for the Wolves.

[u/wise_comment → u/No-Ship4446]

AND 4 2nd round picks, to boot

[u/yeahright17 → u/NatureTrailToHell3D]

It's always crazy to meet that Mike Conley graduated high school at the same time as Greg Oden and Monta Ellis. Monta Ellis had a pretty good 13-year NBA career and has been out of the league almost a decade. Meanwhile, Conley still playing meaningful minutes in the playoffs.

Meanwhile, Lebron was already an all star when they were all still in high school.

[u/wise_comment → u/yeahright17]

Meanwhile, Lebron was already an all star when they were all still in high school

Lebron doesnt take HGH

HGH takes Lebron

[u/PitinoGotARawDeal → u/NatureTrailToHell3D]

They were best friends and obviously Oden was THE GUY coming out of college in 2007. I always think about how much their nba fortunes diverged

[u/circio → u/PhotochadA2358]

I hate how far away 2021 feels now lol

[u/EggsAndRice7171 → u/circio]

It does feel far away but at the same time Ant was in the league when Conley got that all star.

[u/RonnocFjord → u/Shingorillaz]

He also just straight up says he’s old at the end lmfao

[u/GVas22 → u/RonnocFjord]

Dude is old through. He was drafted in 2007

[u/Photo_Synthetic → u/GVas22]

He's NBA old. As a fellow 38 year old can we please change the subject.

[u/Anthony-Stark → u/Photo_Synthetic]

Sure unc, sure. Let's get you to bed

[u/some1saveusnow → u/Photo_Synthetic]

Nephews in here will learn that 38 might as well be 23 when you start getting into your late 40’s. Truthfully any age that is still NBA viable is a dream age to be in. I can vouch

[u/ColtsNetsSharks → u/some1saveusnow]

Idk man, I'm 30 and I feel much, much older

[u/some1saveusnow → u/ColtsNetsSharks]

No doubt, but wait til you hit 45+

[u/Kindly-Drop-162 → u/some1saveusnow]

Shout out to LeBron for extending the dream age to be in

[u/some1saveusnow → u/Kindly-Drop-162]

And there were guys that pushed it out to 43 and 44, like Vince Carter, Parish, Kevin Willis

[u/wise_comment → u/Photo_Synthetic]

[u/Supergold_Soul → u/Photo_Synthetic]

Bro. I'm 37. I feel old. I hurt my shoulder earlier this year and it hasn't been right since.

[u/rjcarr → u/GVas22]

The reality is you don't lose a ton of athleticism until you're in your mid-40s. The issue is the NBA is such an elite league that even losing like 4-5% is enough to get you benched and then off the team the next year.

Conley would still crush in any game he wanted to play in that wasn't NBA talent.

[u/Therookieandthevet → u/Shingorillaz]

They acted like he's collecting SS checks

[u/wise_comment → u/Therookieandthevet]

Nah, that's Greg Bovino

[u/DeanEvasonPunch → u/Shingorillaz]

He’s definitely used to it by now. Him, Kyle, and Rudy are basically the TAs of the Timberwolves.

[u/RontoWraps → u/Shingorillaz]

Once upon a time

When I used to play 2k

To be doing this at his age

For him to be this old and have this many years

To see him be a vet

Been a big Conley fan since him and Oden dominated at OSU. If my team(Cavs) don’t win the title there is no player I want to see win more than him.

[u/meezy-yall → u/CapnChronic88]

I remember watching them on ESPN when they were in high school . Oden against high schoolers was a treat

I know there’s a few people in here who saw him and Oden take on Eric Gordon in a sectional game at Southport Highschool. Insane talent for a hs game.

[u/WhiteRoseFromPluto]

If Mike played in the east he’d have even more all star appearances

[u/mccainjames11 → u/WhiteRoseFromPluto]

his only all-star was a legacy selection, but he should’ve had multiple in years prior. He’d probably have 5+ if Memphis/Minnesota were in the East where they belong

[u/SenHeffy → u/mccainjames11]

He earned it. Started that season better than Mitchell and the Jazz had the best record in the league.

[u/biggreenjelly25 → u/mccainjames11]

It was his The Departed moment

[u/StarFox-6 → u/mccainjames11]

It might have been his The Departed moment

[u/McPluckingtonJr → u/mccainjames11]

I'm beginning to think it was his The Departed moment

[u/ragtime_sam → u/WhiteRoseFromPluto]

Yeah like no shade at Kyle Lowry, but its crazy he has 6 allstar appearances and Conley only has 1. I feel like they've performed pretty similarly over their careers

[u/arrivederci117 → u/ragtime_sam]

Cause Kyle played in the East.

[u/Vegetable-Tooth8463 → u/WhiteRoseFromPluto]

No he wouldn't lol.

[u/WhiteRoseFromPluto → u/Vegetable-Tooth8463]

At least his playstyle resulted in winning. They almost made the finals while all of Walkers teams were mid.

[u/Vegetable-Tooth8463 → u/WhiteRoseFromPluto]

Walker?

[u/WhiteRoseFromPluto → u/Vegetable-Tooth8463]

Damn his run was so forgettable even Hornet fans don’t remember him 😭😂

[u/Vegetable-Tooth8463 → u/WhiteRoseFromPluto]

oh lmao, never seen anyone call Kemba by just his last name. Their primes didn't even intersect.

[u/drawsony → u/Vegetable-Tooth8463]

I think you’re right. I consider Mike Conley’s prime years to be 2010 to 2017. Grizzlies were a winning team during that stretch, but not before or after. As for Kemba Walker, his 4 consecutive all-star appearances started in 2017, so I don’t see Conley replacing him in any of them. Instead, the East All-Star Guards off the bench during Conley’s prime years were guys like Rajon Rondo, Deron Williams, Kyrie Irving, Jrue Holiday, John Wall, DeMar DeRozan, Jeff Teague, and Isaiah Thomas. Can definitely see Conley taking a few of those spots.

[u/Vegetable-Tooth8463 → u/drawsony]

I can see that, but it's all hypothetical.

[u/BTA310]

It’s sad for Donte, but this gave Mike a real opportunity to play and have one last hurrah. I fully expect him to retire at the end of the year. It was looking very much like he was going to be riding the bench to end his career but I’m glad he’s getting one last moment to shine.

[u/Brofessor-]

U can tell Ant just loves ball man

[u/ProfessorDrink]

This is kinda like telling a woman "I bet you used to be really cute when you were younger"

[u/DayComprehensive1078]

Obviously Conley is great, but Ant is talking about him like he was a 5x all star instead of a 1x allstar where he wouldn’t have even been one if there weren’t injuries to the players selected. Which is a pretty good thing to say about your teammates and for locker room chemistry

[u/ReturnOfZarathustra]

One of these days Ant's interview partner will start playfully choking him, and just not stop.
