Marty Conlon was a forward/center from White Plains, New York. He played college ball at Providence. The 1987 team he was on as a freshman went to the Final Four. He averaged 14.7 points and 7.6 rebounds his senior year. Marty went undrafted in 1990 but found a training camp spot on the Sacramento Kings. However, he was let go before the season began. He spent the 1990-1991 season in LeMans, France and with the Rockford Lightning of the CBA.
That summer Marty signed with the Seattle Sonics, which would mark the beginning of a nine-year NBA journeyman career. Conlon would go on to play for the Sonics (1991-1992) Kings (1992-1993), Hornets (1994), Bullets (1994), Bucks (1994-1996), Celtics (1996-1997), Heat (1998), Celtics (1999), and Clippers (1999-2000).
Through it all, his best year came in 1994-1995 with Milwaukee, when he averaged 9.9 points and 5.2 rebounds per game and played in all 82 games.
After his season with the Clippers, Conlon finished out his career with five more years in Europe. He played for teams in Italy, Greece, Spain, and Ireland. He was also captain of the Irish national team. He last played for Carpisa Napoli of Italy in 2005.
