Once Mike Conley's playing career is over, he should consider staying involved in the game as a coach.
While it's unknown if that's ever crossed his mind, apparently a few words of encouragement and a direct order are all it takes for greatness to happen.
When Jordan Clarkson arrived at Vivint Arena on Saturday night, he was greeted by his point guard, who would not play against Sacramento while resting. So Conley offered some words of wisdom — or a direct order — to Clarkson once in the locker room.
"Get 40."
Clarkson clearly isn't a good listener as he did not score 40 points — instead, the reigning sixth man of the year erupted for a career-high 45 points as Utah took down the Kings 134-125 on Saturday night in front of a loud and raucous crowd.
