Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley discusses racism in America, the importance of white allies, and his short film | Utah Jazz
When the crowds marched past Mike Conley’s street last summer, protesting police brutality in the wake of the George Floyd killing, the Utah Jazz guard knew he had to talk about it with his 4-year-old son.“He’s the super curious one and asks all the questions and wants to know why there are so many people in the streets, marching and holding up signs,” Conley said. “… As a father, a parent, you’re trying to do your best to shield them from the real world but at some point, you do have to have those talks and sit down and be honest and candid and explain what got us here.”
