In sports, there are a lot of debates. As the Beale Street Bears were debating some Grizz-related topic in our Slack app, someone said that we should debate for posts. So here we are! This week, we’ll debate something that should get every Memphis Grizzlies fan fired up: the elite status of Mike Conley.
I, personally, consider him a tier off from the elite point guards (Russ, Curry, CP3, Wall, IT, Kyrie, Dame). One season and postseason shouldn’t put him in that tier, especially since this was the first year he really took over as a “scorer.” Even then, it’s not at the level of some of these other guys.
