Mike Conley Wins 2015-16 NBA Sportsmanship Award

The Memphis Grizzlies announced on Saturday that point guard Mike Conley has won the Joe Dumars Trophy for the NBA's 2015-16 Sportsmanship Award. He joins Jason Kidd and Grant Hill as the only players to win the award multiple times since its inception in the 1995-96 season.

Conley exhibited what was described by the Grizzlies official website as the "ideals of sportsmanship—ethical behavior, fair play and integrity," on his way to earning the award.

He spoke with the team's official website after learning that he was named the winner:

I’m humbled to be recognized by the league again for an award that celebrates more than just winning on the court.
