As the car moved along Salt Lake City’s east side, the man in the back pulled out his cellphone to take a photo of the downtown skyline and the mountains in the background. A few hours earlier, Mike Conley Jr. and his family had touched down in Utah, and right away his 3-year-old son, Myles, asked about the mountains. He wanted to fish and look for deer. Conley’s wife, meanwhile, was envisioning her children on skis, carving through the Utah snow.
“We’re outdoorsy people,” Conley said. “It’s just perfect for us.”
The veteran point guard snapped another photo of the city and smiled.
