Quite some time ago, these two individuals were underrated. While flying under the radar, they both remained one of the best at their respected games. Now, people are appreciating their true greatness at their skills.

Chance the Rapper’s latest album “Coloring Book” has put the world on notice. With hit songs “No Problem” and “Juke Jam,” more and more people are beginning to understand that he is one of the best rappers in the industry. Along with his new music, Chance has been making appearances at the ESPYs, showcasing his music as a performer and his dance moves with reigning MVP Stephen Curry. In addition, he is becoming close with Queen Beyonce, after being invited to her birthday party and running into her at the VMAs.

In the same way, Mike Conley is finally getting recognition for his extraordinary work at his craft, earning the largest contract in NBA history. After breakout performances such as stealing a playoff game in Oracle Arena three games after breaking his face, people are finally realizing that Conley is a real-deal NBA point guard. Because of this new contract, he is getting attention through ESPN.

In addition, he landed a new deal with Under Armour.

Because of their newfound appreciation, Chance the Rapper has been nominated for “Best New Hip Hop Artist” and “Lyricst of the Year.” On the other hand, Mike Conley should garner All-Star attention in Dave Fizdale’s revamped offense.
