Mike Conley, Jr. should be the first point guard taken next week, and scouts are saying he could be the next Chris Paul. Very, very soon, his life be changed forever, and he'll start down a path most athletes only dream of. On his Yardbarker blog, Conley tells us that one of those life-changing moments has happened already:
I was listening to this song called "Joke's on You" which is on the new cd by "Fabolous," when out of no where it sounded like he said my name. I sat there for a minute and thought to myself that i didn't just hear what I thought I heard. . . I never thought that my name would ever be used in a song, especially not one by Fabolous.He then promptly called Oden to brag--since presumably, this is the one honor that hasn't already been handed to Big Greg. Henry at True Hoop was kind of enough to track down audio of "Joke's on You", which is definitely NSFW. Oh, and if anyone cares, that's Pusha T of Clipse with the putative Conley namedrop.
Correction: Conley needs to calm down a little. "Joke's on You" is a comedy-themed track, and so Conley's actually mis-hearing the name of BET Comic View's Michael Collier.

Actually, Pusha name-dropped 'Michael Collier', a comedian from BET's Comic View (comedy was kind of the theme). I think Mikey might be a little jet-lagged from all te travelling. Maybe if he can help ressurrect the Hawks, he'll get namechecked by T.I. one day.

not sure, but I think has already been debunked. I don't think Mike Conley is big enough to be name dropped like that just yet.
