Mike Conley 18.17m

[@michaelrajaretnam6100]

His body remains very low during the hop phase. This prevents his right leg collapsing on impact and allows him to conserve horizontal speed throughout the next two phases.

[@PomBare]

Excellent analysis. I wondered why his hop phase wasn't so great yet his hop to jump phase is majestic.

[@williamsmith4525]

This made me very happy. I felt so sorry for him when he missed making the 1988 Olympic Team when his shorts robbed him of 2 inches and he missed out by an inch. His son is now an NBA star and a former Buckeye.

[@spoonwound5657]

He gets such little height out of the Hop and the Step. It's incredible how he manages to jump so far on the last phase.

[@nichuffman82]

Yes. I went to a rival high school of Mike Conley's in Indianapolis, and I'm also friends with a guy who played on the basketball team with him. Mike Conley the TJer is the father of Mike Conley the basketball player. The father is also the agent of his son and his former HS and College teammate Greg Oden.

[@rashard4]

I was in the same inner-city scout troop with THIS Mike Conley...and his Pop was our scout mster...also Mike COnley....troop 4732...Weeblos forever....at least as far as I made it!

[@trinidad718]

Wow!! his son looks just like him!!

[@anilkumarsahoo7664]

Great jump with superbbb bounch i watch for 100 times still want to watch it again

[@jonesy77777]

@polinganerouniversal I'm not wrong, the guy asked if this was where Mike Powell broke the record, to which I replied that that was in Tokyo WC's not Barcelona Olympics.

[@vincibrug]

Jonathan Edwards was the best triple jumper ever, along with Christian Taylor No doubt about it! But Mike Conley was a super athlete, better than Edwards : he was a very good sprinter (100-10"36, 200-20"21 - 20"12w), and a very competitive long jumper (bronze medallist in Helsinky 1983, personal best 8,43m). One of the GREATEST JUMPERS of all time!

[@tonyzackery]

Edwards NEVER won a gold medal. Joao De Oliveira

[@Fern-wn1td]

@@tonyzackery He did tho

[@tonyzackery]

Taylor the best. 2 gold medals and more World Champs than Edwards.

[@Fern-wn1td]

@@tonyzackery edwards has more world champs. Both are amazing jumpers, but you have to respect edwards

[@grahamstrouse1165]

vinci brug Actually his best was 8.63 (wind-assisted). His unassisted PR was 8.46 & he did 20.12 in the 200m I’m being pedantic, though. Conley really was an amazing athlete & easily the best combo jumper in athletics history. I can’t think of anyone else whose medaled in both the long & triple jumps at the WC & Olympics-not in the same competition but still...

[@TheDrewpdog]

he is really strong through his hips in every phase very good jump!

[@polinganerouniversal]

@jonesy77777 You are wrong. This is Barcelona 92. You can read it in the track.

[@Jay8941]

Willie Banks was hatin...lol...u see how fast he pointed out the wind wasover the limit...lmao

[@kevinbell3700]

I wouldn't say hatin.. but he was definitely happy that he was still top of the history books at that point. Self preservation...

[@agt155]

Edwards jumped 18:43 wind assisted.

[@royceguittap1562]

Is this the mike conley of memphis grizzlies..the one that made the dunk behind free throw

[@jonesy77777]

@gtthtt that was world championships in tokyo, not olymics. cheers.

[@EscoHMG]

His son look so much like him

[@Magnusur1]

1:39 The other commentator interrupts Willie Banks, just for saying: "And let´s wait for the distance to come up, as we´re waiting for the distance to...come up!"

[@paologutierrez5888]

He really looks like his son!

[@増田紀宜]

さすが フリースローラインの後ろから踏み切ってダンクを決める男‼️✨

[@comprimise1]

oh my willie banks sounds so self centered when he starts saying that the wind was over the limit!

[@Jay8941]

@jediknight08 well they speakin from the standpoint of he chopped before he hit the board, and his technique isn't pretty, but he is effective and 1 of the best clutch jumper ever

[@Jay8941]

@dan32113 My bad that was the indoor record...ur right i stand corrected...LOL...and it was 17.90

[@ebplayers]

Great Triple Jump Cometition.. This was always going to happen for mike he had the potential to jump out of the pit. I long for the 18 meter barrier to be broken again soon.. thanks..

[@Jay8941]

@dan32113 the guy teddy tomgo from france jumped 19.08 this summer in diamond league...I watched it myself, and the video is posted on here...

[@dan32113]

@Jay8941 what? Jonathan Edwards IS the world record holder! 18.29m the frenchman has jumped 17.98. Edwards is 1st man to jump over 18m! Edwards has infact jumped 18.43m wind assisted! FACT

[@HouZdar]

Cole Norton That weird guy, is Willie Banks.

[@joeyskunks3127]

there's a video of him on youtube dunking

[@SeaneyBoyism]

is it just me or did it look super short till you saw him pass the 18

[@Jay8941]

@dan32113 dude from france just crushed that record this summer in diamond league championships

[@jamessimmons28]

i think he is a great jumper. his first phase isn't the best but he makes up for it in the second phase....

[@mp4vids]

Mike Conley was one of most favorite triple jumpers, but Jonathon Edwards holds the world record and is the man until someone can take it down.

[@tonyzackery]

Edwards NEVER won a gold medal.

[@shaolinsecrets]

@@tonyzackery Olympic Gold in 2000 Sydney at age 34 among other Gold medal wins. Does seem like a long time ago now.

[@ClosProductions]

Yep!

[@ivanovduh]

Круто👌

[@johnprentice1527]

Ridiculously short hop phase; I don't see how he got 18.17. The short hop did allow for a longer step phase, but still amazed he came up with 18.17!

[@dan32113]

@jediknight08 watch the best Jonathan Edwards, 18.16m & 18.29m breaking the world record in consecutive jumps in Gothenburg 1995 world champs!

[@mikegluv]

Mike was robbed by mother nature. :(

[@supertaco54]

Yep that's his dad.

[@cossy112]

@arsenal92 dude jump 18.17

[@wakajared]

@AdmiralWolverinePEDO Yess sir that's his dad

[@HouZdar]

ZelenoffFanClub Not to mention a win streak of 22 competitions that needed a jump of 18.09m to end.

[@polinganerouniversal]

@polinganerouniversal Sorry, I didn't see it was an answer.

[@ImAlxxy]

Damn how far this dude could have dunked from back then

[@HotSauce-mn1mp]

Man I feel old. And his son is already a retired nba great. Time waits on no one

[@13kimosabi13]

When did Mike Jr retire?

[@Jay8941]

@dan32113 DAMN...lol I just saw the vid...and hell he could have jumped 19.00 if he hadn't shortened his 3rd phase...but great jump

[@masaruosada6062]

1:15 boom boom boom

[@Jay8941]

@dan32113 look up triple jump world record 2010

[@FreshJsTV]

I thought he got hurt at 1:00 and was limping but i guess thats just the way they do it

[@Varish73]

@arsenal92 It's not bad... But he could get a hell of a lot more out of his jump...

[@Jptrappin32]

WILLIE!

[@gtthtt]

is this the same Olympics when mike powell broke the record for LJ?

[@grahamstrouse1165]

justin hardge Powell broke the LJ record at Tokyo in ‘91, not at the Olympics.

[@Dannigamingvlogs]

Yeah

[@GOODLENNYNICE]

is his son the ball player

[@Jay8941]

it's funny how there are no current great american triple jumpers...1 can name 1 or 2 but damn

[@MrBaklava]

haha mike conley on the grizzleys is that really his father?

[@VFXPlug17]

Yup

[@VFXPlug17]

His father was a Olympic champion guess it runs in the family

[@camtheman3x6]

haha I could not agree more!!

[@c1only1]

The greatest forget Jonathan Edwards

[@ColeNorton]

Did anybody else hear that weird guy say congratz at 1:50

[@rneoman]

have to laugh at the commentator making sure he got his 18.20 jump in there during the conversation, nobody cars now johnathan edwards beat them all, who says white men can't jump lol

[@smartDefender4all]

beautiful but there is something about Edwards technique thats more special

[@jojo24love]

The Black man is God

[@KevYuuuu]

the pg for the grizzlies yea hahaha

[@Hasan9t]

this guy could probably shoot a layup from halfcourt without travelling

[@bing13bong]

3 steps though. But with today’s ref, oh yeah

Hasan A. Dunno about that but he could dunk from behind the free throw line without breaking a sweat... ;-)

[@regulator9leorise629]

@@grahamstrouse1165 and with 2 hands

The greatest? Only if you define greatness as being the second best ever at something. Edwards has 6 of the 10 longest jumps of all time.

[@tonyzackery]

WRONG as of 2019.

[@nastierlookin]

wut?

i mean its not a bad technique. he jus looks a little flat.

Is technique ist shit, but... but... FUCK 18.17m !!!

@mpljcbh No chance. Edwards was the greatest by a country mile in speed,technical ability and talent. I just love Americans thinking they are better at everything when clearly they're not....

[@grahamstrouse1165]

nickthefox72 Edwards was a better technical jumper & the best ever in the event. Conley was the best long/triple combo jumper ever.

Wow bad form much?
