His final years in the NBA, he was with the Miami Heat and was coached by Pat Riley.
Conlon played for the Seattle SuperSonics, the Sacramento Kings, the Charlotte Hornets, the Washington Bullets, the Milwaukee Bucks, the Boston Celtics, the Miami Heat, and the Los Angeles Clippers. The height of both his career and fame came in Milwaukee. His true talent, however, was rebounding.
