Donovan Mitchell All Star Weekend Thread

And now we have six days to wait for the next game. I think I have a few books in my library that I haven't read in years; time to read.

Mitchell's dunks rely on his arms being super long so it looks cool when he does tomahawks. It's really cool, but it's not impressive from a technical standpoint.

Is Cy a Donovan hater ... as he said, he can't jump off one foot ... lol

That’s alright Donovan definitely needs and deserves some rest.....but yeah every day not watching the kid sucks a little more.

I just bought Jordan Peterson’s new book. Gonna crack it open tomorrow.
 
You guys remember when I said Mitchell would be the next Dwade/Rose-esque player in the NBA during summer ball? - No.

Do you remember Mitchell's first 10 games or so in the NBA he started with the worst fg% in NBA history and had the worst, by far, defensive rating among rookies and I said he looked slow against NBA starters and I said his one dunk wasn't that athletic (it wasn't.) - You kind of do, but selective memory and Dalamon-esque reading skills.

Do you remember when Dalamon asked if he could cut me in half, I'd still be taller than him?

Mitchell had a few dunks that were cool tonight, but he's right up there with Evans of having one of the least athletic NBA dunk contest victories.

Quantify how mad this makes you, Dalamon?
 
Anyone who thinks Nance got robbed is in drugs ... a 6-9 dude just jumps up and taps the ball against the glass before dunking ... whoopsie doo
Not many 6'9" dudes can do that in the world.

Nance is a great in game dunker and his dunks don't translate well to dunk contests.

Okay *******. Keep being you.

I like how this post triggers people. Like, they take this as a personal insult.
Everyone I was watching the dunk contest with were saying the same thing. Don't get me wrong, his dunks can look great and all, but out side of cocking it back and throwing it down hard, he's limited. His VC dunk was an anti climatic winner.
 
Donovan Mitchell is awesome. We are so lucky to have him. My dunk takes:

#1 - incredibly underrated. He did it first try no problem. It was harder than Nance's dunk from his Dad.

#2 - he became the showman. Good, smart dunk getting people involved.

#3 - very good dunk that really shined in the replay. Weakest of the 4, but still good.

#4 - the Vince Carter dunk was the best dunk I have ever seen live. I was blown away. Donovan's wasn't as clean as Vince's, but Vince did that dunk 1st and has a height advantage on him.

Donovan might be the best thing to happen to our franchise since Stockton and Malone under Sloan. Never in a million years did I think one player would make such an impact.
