During the NFL pre-season, J.J. Watt told the media the incredible story about how Kendrick Lamar texted him to tell him how awesome his brother was playing against the Giants.

It's no secret that music icons like Kendrick and some of the best athletes in the world are good friends, but it's always cool to hear a story like that.

Believe it or not, Mike Conley of the Memphis Grizzlies has an even better story, and it's one that features Kanye West.

There are few things cooler than a getting a phone call from 'Ye' at 12:30 AM and him telling you how much he admires you.  We agree with Kanye that Conley is indeed underrated, and we'll take it a step further by saying his team is underrated.

The Grizzlies always find a way to make it to the playoffs and put up a fight and that's because of how good Conley and Marc Gasol are together.  Clearly

Kanye isn't sleeping on Conley, and even though the West is loaded with bigger names, you shouldn't either.
