Marc Gasol has developed an interesting theory about his teammate Mike Conley: That perhaps they’re half-brothers. What began with a simple photo now has Marc pondering the nature of his family, and the relationship with his teammate.
Marc and Pau Gasol’s younger brother looks eerily like Mike Conley, and they all love it
Now everyone’s wondering if Conley is the lost Gasol.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
It began on Monday when Marc Gasol posted a photo of him hanging out with his brothers.
Immediately people began to notice something curious about the youngest Gasol brother, Adria.
People began to pick up on this two. The pair had similarly shaped heads, smiled in the same way, and their facial hair had a striking resemblance.
Then Mike Conley confirmed that he saw it, too.
Normally things would end here. A laugh between teammates, a nod to Conley looking like the youngest Gasol. Everyone goes on with their Summer. But the resemblance gnawed at Marc from within. He began to question everything he thought and knew.
Then, while watching the ESPYs and seeing Conley on the red carpet, it struck him like a lightning bold. It couldn’t be ... but ... what if?
It appears Gasol’s theory is that Adria Gasol and Mike Conley are actually twins, separated at birth and divided between Spain and the U.S. This would mean that all the Gasol boys share the same mother, but Adria’s dad is actually Mike Conley Sr.
It seems ridiculous, but once again Conley is on board, too.
Buckle up, folks. We’ve got ourselves a soap opera-level drama in the NBA.
