AlexG I think he deserves it more than Donovan and Rudy. He’s leading the league in plus minus by far. His impact on the court goes far beyond the obvious numbers
The greatest non-All Star in the history of the league. Whan a man and a player, so underrated. Thank you for every thing you did for Memphis #GritNGrind
Marcus Camby, Rod Strickland, Cedric Maxwell, Richard Jefferson.... Conley never even averaged 6.5 assists in a season and underperformed in the playoffs regularly and I used to go to plenty of Grizzlies playoff games between 2011-14
my favorite player in the league...i still cheer for the grizz but mike 2010-2015 arguably was one of the best NBA players at controlling the pace of a game. When GnG was at its peak, they didnt need to throw up 3's or put up 120 points...i forgot which tear but there was a year where the grizz only lost once when they scored over 100 points. Mike Conley was able to slow the game down. ALWAYS made the right play.
I really love the old man& the three, but what I love more is that JJ narrates the ads nowadays instead of RUclips monetisation. I imagine that by de-monetising his account, he collects 100% of the revenue from the advertiser instead of a piddly percentage. It's also easier to skip the ads now. Thanks JJ, you da best.
@AlexG not worthy? Im not sure i agree with that.. Mike leads the NBA in plus/minus and I believe win shares (PLEASE DONT QUOTE ME) 😂 But he is arguably the best player on the #1 ranked team the whole NBA.. So yes he deserves to be a All-Star
Mike Conley is the man. We are so happy to have him in Utah. He is the perfect fit. Everyone is hoping he resigns after this year. We love you, Mike!!!!
Mike is the man. He sets up the offense so well and the pick and roll with Rudy is such a hard contain, especially when he is hitting those floaters. Fun start to the season for us Jazz fans. Hope they can be consistent.
Mike Conley is an individual most NBA fans have not heard talk very much before. This was an excellent interview any NBA fan would enjoy listening to. Interesting Mr. Conley has not had a technical foul in 13 years. I really enjoyed Mr. Conley talking about the great days he had with Zebo and Tony Allen in Memphis. Zebo was always an amazing player to watch and respect as he dominated my favorite opposing team. JJ keep getting great guests like Mr. Conley.
This is awesome. And I'm really rooting for for Conley to get allstar nod, not that the game means anything, but this man deserves that little recognition. Class act.
I’d say Rod Strickland is the best to never make an all star team but yea it’s funny to see how players like Kyle korver made an all star team but mike Conley didn’t
I've always liked Conley as a player. And that team with Zebo, Tony, Marc...they were nuts! If Mike didnt have that fracture they would have beat Golden State.
I wish everybody else knew this🤦🏾♂️ might’ve even stopped a dynasty before it started Commented this 👆🏾and literally 5 min later he says the exact same thing🤷🏾♂️
@@quercus_opuntia it means how many points they add to the teams score while on the court. It's a measure of how impactful a player might be even if they dont score many points themselves. This could be due assists, setting screens for PnR, collecting offensive rebounds and playmaking. Hockey has been using it for years as well.
@@cathalmurphy8724 I know what it means dumbass. My point is that it does a terrible job of accurately measuring impact. Take for example Bradley Beal. His plus minus is NEGATIVE this year. In fact, his plus minus was negative in his 60 point game. Does that mean Beal has a negative impact on his team? Of course not. That's exactly why regular plus/minus tells you almost nothing. Daniel Theis has a better +/- than Beal. Daniel effing Theis. (Only because he's on a good team btw). Which is why saying that Conley should be an all star based off of one of the most useless stats is dumb. Really dumb. It's just because he's on a good team - of course, part of the reason they're good is because of him. But don't ever reference +/- again unless you want to burn in statistics hell
man these conversations are the freaking BEST. Thanks for the content guys!!!! one of my favorite podcasts!!! top 2 for sure. Long Shot passed you guys up :(
Wow Mike sounds like an amazing guy! Crazy how he played when he had a facial fracture. Glad to see him doing well in the jazz and was cool to hear about the grit and grind days
Thank you for this podcast JJ. This is basketball gold, being able to see the art of basketball told by the artists. I hope more and more players and coaches do the same, and talk openly about the game. Thank you so much !
Wow I thought Mike made atleast 1 allstar. Its sad how tough it is/was in the west, where as if Mike was an East PG he would of been top 3 PG no doubt. He's always been my favorite pgs especially during the memphis years. He definitely deserved atleast 2-3 allstar years.
I hope Mike Conley makes this years All-star team, he has the highest plus/minus in the NBA "I think"? Plus he's arguably the biggest reason the Utah Jazz are ranked #1 in the NBA right now & he is in the Western Conference, he has great stats. He should be a All Star
I fw Mike Conley.He had a gr8 career in Grizzlies 4m 2010-15.He was one of e best PGs by dat time.He could control e floor.He was more of a facilitator/distributor.Then he was 2 Jazz arnd 2016.He played wit Mitchell & Gobert.He had a diff role ova there but it was good tho.Jazz was a gud playoff team & Conley played exceptional.Consistency & efficiency was e biggest prob n dats why Mitchell n Gobert were traded.
I'm your fan from the Grizzlies when you played for us in Memphis,I know you playing Lebron tonight please win the game for me I going for the Utah Jazz please bet them Mike Conley , your fan from Memphis Grizzlies.
Great interview JJ, great to hear Mike and his perspective with the Jazz and his past with the Grizz. Since he's the worse can you please get Joe Ingles on the pod cast to talk some smack
I really like Mike Conley but I've honestly had to restart this interview like 10 times because I keep falling asleep. Idk what it is about this interview.
Mike was on e starting lineup wen he entered Timberwolves in 2022.He was also a facilitator/distributor.He also led e game in 25pts a game.And he shot more n controlled e floor than Antman.But now he isn't on e lineup.Mike is gettin older.I was proud of him cos he led Timberwolves to playoffs last szn altho they lost by Mavs in West Conf.I hope Mike retires a Timberwolf.
This won't happen, but it's my dream...... Conley, again, is not selected as an All Star. The Jazz stay healthy, and win a title. Conley is named Finals MVP.
@@1hunnidpercent just an opinion on their situation. He is a pg, Ja is a pg. A lot of vets have talked about how they love Ja's game and their take, just wanted to hear it from him. I think is a fair question anyways
Thanks Mike Conley and the entire Utah Jazz team foe the win on LeBron James last night on yesterday March 24, great job team I pray your team and the Grizzlies will be the last tram standing for the playoff .I really desire for your team to win this year your dan in Memphis Tn. Conley you are my number NBA player and O.J. Mayo is my second favorite NBA player O.J. Mayo is doing over seas keep it up Utah Jazz .
It really amazes me how little credit Rudy Gay gets on those Memphis teams. Y'all touched on every other player from that core except him. I don't get it. Get him on the show or something.
Rudy Gay was out at the beginning of the grit and grind era, he wasn't really there for the major years. I really don't consider him as being a guy during those prime years
Conley deserves an all star appearance in his career
He is earning it this year for sure!
@AlexG Mike over shai
AlexG I think he deserves it more than Donovan and Rudy. He’s leading the league in plus minus by far. His impact on the court goes far beyond the obvious numbers

Great call. That would be a fun pod.

Joe Ingles would be AMAZING
Whats the over/under of the amount of times Joe and Steven say 'mate' during the pod

ITS BEEN DOME BOYS
Mike Conley is now officially an All Star
He needs to make the allstar this year
Been playing better than Mitchell imo
JJ: "I assume we will make some adjustments."
Narrator: They didn't.
He Hates it there lol
😂😂
Mike Conley is the man. We are so happy to have him in Utah. He is the perfect fit. Everyone is hoping he resigns after this year. We love you, Mike!!!!
I love Mike but I loved him last year, I hope he dont resign for several years he is still a top guard in this league.
One of the best pgs of the decade

I’ve been a fan of Mr Conley since he’s been in high school. Super classy man and proof that some of the best ballers in the world come from the 317
Lawrence North is always great. 317 has game
Love Tommy's enthusiasm during the ad reads
I didn't know that Mike Conley was this chill, but he always looked like he was lol
Love mike Conley so happy he made it on the show. 💯
Glad to see Mike having a great year after his rough-ish start in Utah
When they do the advertising is funny asf😂
tommy just doesn't even look at the camera and looks so uninterested haha

Mike Conley such a class act and a killa on the court
One of the most underrated PGs ever man. He was an allstar for many years
"Joe really is the worst" Lol, that's why we love him.
Mike Conley will probably go down as arguably the best player not to make an All Star appearance.
No
@@j0eyhz620 then who?
Yea him or Mike Bibby
Monta Ellis
I’d say Rod Strickland is the best to never make an all star team but yea it’s funny to see how players like Kyle korver made an all star team but mike Conley didn’t
If the jazz have the best record by the break they deserve 4 all stars for sure!
Mike seems like a really cool, down to earth guy. I'd love to have him on my team
Mike, keep playing like this and our jazz can win it all
That Grizzlies lineup with Conley, Tony Allen, Rudy Gay, Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol was one of the best defensive teams
I've always liked Conley as a player. And that team with Zebo, Tony, Marc...they were nuts! If Mike didnt have that fracture they would have beat Golden State.
Very true! Golden state has been very lucky!! Now they most likely will never win again 😂 unless they keep tanking
