Mike Conley Jr.

“In Memphis I always had the ball.”

“At some point, you know the game will have to end for you.”

“I need to stay focused and concentrate on the little things I need to do to improve my game.”

“I'm a guy who wants to fit in.”

“I'm tired of being underrated. I'm tired of being overlooked.”

“I want to be an All-Star and never had the opportunity. There's no animosity toward it or anything. I still enjoy everything that the NBA does, genuinely, with the All-Star weekend.”

“I mean, I spend every summer working hard to improve my game. I've taken parts of my game that I might have been uncomfortable with and worked on them to make them second nature.”

“I've just always wanted to try to earn respect.”

“Every year, you're going to get better and better. You're going to learn more and understand more.”

“I try to stay in the positive.”

“I've been through a lot. A lot of highs. The lowest of lows. That's why I am how I am.”

“I hate the unknown.”

“I am shorter. I'm not dunking on guys.”

“The more you are around your teammates and work with them, the better you will be in the season.”

“There were times in my career where I could have easily been traded, easily been given up on, and I think me making strides, me making a commitment to myself to come in and get better showed people what I could do each year.”

“If you're not a Grizz fan, you might not even know what we're up to until playoffs come around. We get forgotten and sometimes slighted.”

“I'm actually not really adventurous when it comes to eating so I stick to things I like.”

“Everybody needs to serve in their community.”

“There's guys that don't need to play with the ball. Tony Allen doesn't need to have the ball to be effective.”

“I'm not a guy that's going to be overbearing at all.”
