Mike Conley Not Ready To Put Timeline On Retirement - RealGM Wiretap
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley is aware he's one of the final players from his draft class still playing in the NBA. Conley also knows the end is approaching, but he's not really thinking about that.
When asked about his future, Conley said,"Before I signed the extension, it was like, ‘Man, it could be this year, it could be next year, it could be any year.’ But then as I played this year out, I was like, ‘Man, I haven’t slowed down yet, and I just can’t imagine myself leaving when I haven’t hit that bottom yet.’ So I’m just gonna burn these tires off and not put a date on it and see what happens.
Conley is one of five players from the 2007 draft class still playing , and that's something Conley said he and the others take pride in. "Oh, yeah. I think about that when I get out on the court every day, bro, I promise you. When I pray before the games, it’s just all gratitude. It’s just like, ‘Bro, I’m out here in front of all these people again, like I get to do this again?’ It’s not a given. I’m 36," Conley said."Like you said, there aren’t too many of us that are still playing and trying to do it at a high level. And I take pride in that. I know all the guys.
