He certainly took an unconventional route, but Utah Jazz veteran Mike Conley is now officially an All-Star. The 33-year-old had just two words to say in a recent tweet as he acknowledged the honor of being named an All-Star for the first time in his 14-year NBA career.

Conley, who many believe was one of the biggest snubs this year, took to Twitter to share his delight:

Mike Conley was named as a last-minute replacement for Devin Booker, who himself was forced to pull out of the All-Star festivities due to injury. Booker was initially asked to take the place of the injured Anthony Davis. It's no secret that Conley was not the first choice–nor was he a second–but there's no denying that he absolutely deserves to be in the All-Star team this 2020-21.

Conley has been averaging 16.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.4 steals, while also knocking down a career-best 2.8 triples per game on a highly-efficient 46.8-percent clip. We've seen better numbers from Conley in the past, but it's hard to overlook what he's done for the Jazz this season.

Utah is the best team in the league right now, and Conley's contributions have been significant, to say the least. After a lackluster campaign in his first season with the Jazz last season, the 6-foot-1 point guard bounced back in a tremendous way this campaign.

Love him or hate him (although it's hard to hate on a guy like him), Conley is now a bonafide All-Star.
