Mike Conley may not have the same name recognition as NBA stars like Carmelo Anthony or Lebron James but after signing his $153 million dollar contract with the Grizzlies, he certainly has the same money as guys like that and he knows with money comes responsibility. Conley admitted to not even being able to celebrate or feel happy for his new deal because of all the things going on in the world, especially here at home, with the shooting deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile at the hands of police and the shooting deaths of five police officers in Dallas. He knows it’s time for change and he used the opportunity of his press conference this week to speak on it and explain how he was inspired by Melo, Lebron, Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade after their speech at the ESPYS.
