Nah, those are reputation techs. You have to build up to that, either over the course of a game or the course of a career. He’s gonna have to say some REAL nasty shit to a ref if he wants to pull this off.

There was a game like a year or two ago where Mike and the other wolves were all getting kinda pissy. Mike was yapping at the ref and then the announcers go “Oh and that’s a tech, you can’t be doing that.” Thought for sure Mike finally got a soft as tech but then they gave it to whoever was standing with Mike yapping as well. Think it was Jaden that got it instead but for a brief second I thought I had seen Mike finally get the big T.

Yeah people seem to forget that Duncan had already been ejected from games 13 times and had even been suspended for 67 games for punching Joey Crawford in a previous game.

I knew someone was going to reply with something like this. Tim Duncan may not have been overt about it, but purely based on attitude and facial expressions, every single foul ever called against him in his entire career was the ref making an error. Duncan is the only player in NBA history to have never committed a genuine foul, according to him. You better believe this annoyed the fuck out of the refs. That was absolutely a reputation tech.

Eh, young Tim rarely did that stuff but after a few years he learned that if you want to get calls like the other big stars then you have to work the refs like the other big stars. It’s not like he complained more often than any of the rest of them, it’s just that the whole “wide eyed shock” look was memeworthy.

I would be quite happy if Mike’s last moment in the NBA was clocking Draymond and yelling “That’s for 2015!”

It won’t happen though because he’s far too ~~nice a guy.~~ big of a person.

Editting that because I felt the original wording implied that might be a bad thing.

He had the first $30 million/year multiyear contract. I was saying its an overpay at the time but looking at things now there have been way way worse contracts. And Conley remained good years after that contract.

Mike Conley grew up playing with Greg Oden, including high school and college. Conley has 0 techs in 1216 NBA games, Oden had 2 techs in 105 NBA games. Conley also never had a technical foul called on him at any level of organized basketball (AAU, High School, College, and NBA)

This is actually incorrect. He did in fact receive one, last year I believe, but it was later rescinded.

Pshh I got a tech less than 60 seconds into my varsity career my sophomore season.

I subbed in halfway through the first quarter, my teammate got fouled hard, so I push the guy off my teammate, he pushed back, ref calls double tech, my coach sits me, then I don’t sub back in the rest of the game.

Reminder Timberwolves Mike Conley after 19 seasons, over 1200 games and over 37,000 minutes played has never received a technical foul in his career.
