I know the thread premise, but no matter what angle you go at, Conley doesn't fit because he's Hella athletic and also a good player.

He really couldn’t dunk like that early on. Elite NBA lever trainers got him right.

Steph could always do rim grazer dunks and those Spud Webb-type dunks.

He had a 35.5 inch vert at the combine.

If you say he hella athletic then he hella athletic i guess .

Because one doesn't take of their body; doesn't mean they're not athletic.

A lot of people are mixing shytty weight training with lack of athleticism.

Mike Conley was an elite athlete. When he was in college, people didn't rate him that highly because of Greg Oden and because he seemed like the athletic point guard prototype.

KD is athletic as hell to me

I would say Bird and Jokic, but the height helps them.

I've had this argument on the forum before, Conley's dad was an Olympic Gold Medalist in track who could have Eurostep'd from beyond midcourt to the hoop.





It's wild that folk try to downplay Conley's athleticism like that.
