Even though the NBA season is currently on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic, that didn't stop Mike Conley from winning a title on Thursday night.
The former Ohio State guard won the first-ever NBA HORSE Challenge, a made-for-TV competition put together by the NBA and ESPN in the absence of live sports.
Shooting from his indoor gym at his home in Columbus, Conley defeated 10-time WNBA All-Star and Basketball Hall of Famer Tamika Catchings, five-star NBA All-Star Chauncey Billups and Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine in separate games of H-O-R-S-E to win the eight-person bracket.
Conley handed LaVine the final letter of the competition by making a layup over the back of the backboard.
