At media day on Tuesday, star guard Mike Conley told reporters that he received a late night phone call from Kanye West. "'I just wanna let you know I admire you, I really like what you do, I hate to see you're underrated," Conley said, recalling what Kanye said to him. "He actually watches me play — that's what I was thinking in my head."
