Mike Conley has become one of the most important role players for the Minnesota Timberwolves. The veteran guard is “having a ball,” as the Timberwolves are chasing their first NBA Finals appearance.
“I’m having a ball, bro, honestly,” The one-time All-Star said. “I tell the guys all the time, ‘If you see a day where I’m not smiling and not having a good time and loving being here, tell me to retire. Tell me to go home.’ That is one reason why I’m here. Being around these guys, the atmosphere, the game. The competitive atmosphere every day.
“You don’t get this anywhere else in life, especially at my age getting older. You really can’t take it for granted.”
