Him and Ingles are easily two of the favorites here that I think the collective NBA community wants rings for

He’s been a class act and a great mentor to incoming players; it’s why Front Offices are willing to give him a vet min contract. Did a great job of showing the ropes to Ant (who was the #1 overall pick) and also Jaden/NAW (later round picks) - how to be ready when the opportunity arises and what to focus on to stay on the court (defense)

as a Jazz fan I love all the guys who used to play for us who ended up with you. Gobert, Conley, Ingles, all great for us

That first season we had Mike was so sad. We loved Rubio so much and then Mike came in and really struggled and the fans weren’t very patient with him and it felt awful. Really happy that he ended up being so beloved.

Honestly, I think if he replaced anyone besides Rubio he would have been given more grace. Rubio is one of my favorite jazzmen of all time. People are just assholes tbh

Was gonna comment this, never been a fan of team he’s played for but I’m big fan of him still. Normally it’s only former lakers that I cheer on. If the Lakers don’t make it out I’ll be rooting for the Twolves for the rest of the playoffs.

Yeah as far as personal reputation he’s gotta be in the highest tier. Who else would be there with him? Jrue Holiday. They’re the only two who have won the Teammate of the Year award multiple times.

Never had a tech in his career. Just goes out there and plays. I hope he joins our coaching staff when he retires - he seems to love it here.

I remember during the ICE bullshit when they were wearing those t-shirts in support of minneapolis they said it was pretty much under the direction of Mike Conley. I know it was about as sanitized of a support message the corporate league would allow, but it was still a cool thing for him to do

I remember when he was so hated because he was the poster boy of overpaid because he got the largest NBA contract

He’s a winner and a great dude, if this was like even 3 years ago Timberwolves with him would be so much better they desperately need a point guard like him

My favorite part of that deal was when he was asked if he felt he needed to prove the haters wrong for getting such a big bag, he replied “I’m not interested in proving anyone wrong, I want to prove the people who believe in me right.”

Loved him for his 1 year at Ohio State. Oden got the headlines but Mike carried us to the finals. So happy to see him still playing.

He is just a really good dude. I think I heard he has never had a technical before. In a league of constant complaining, it is amazing to see someone just play ball.

Do Trailblazers fans like Jrue? Seems like he’d be in a similar boat, quiet and personable contributor and vet at each stop in his career. Generally, always made his teams better, without much drama.

So glad Mike got an All-Star nod. I think he said at the time he’d much much rather be a 1-time All-Star than the “best player who was never an All-Star” and I agree. Don’t want future generations looking back at his career going “I guess he wasn’t that good, he was never an All-Star”
