Calm down about Donovan? I’ve got all the faith in the world this kid will take this team to the conference finals with Rudy in the coming years....I loved the DWill, Booze, Okur days. As an individual player Donovan came at the right time, had the right attitude, and was the perfect gift to this fanbase and organization and has had the largest affect on both this quickly in his career. Full faith in Donovan, and he will never cease to impress me.


Here’s his post dunk contest press conference

I'm with you. He can say whatever he wants. No reason to suck up to the Jazz or anyone else. But it is still very disrespectful to the participants, not just Mitchell. He comes off as a prime douche.

Sure, a bit. It definitely wasnt the worst either.

The only people in the world who think Memo's comments were disrespectful and made him look like a douche are a very select few bias Jazz fans.

His tweet was retweeted 40 times. lol

As it should be.

If I was a kings fan I wouldn’t give a ****.

It totally makes sense for the most sensitive people to the comment to be jazz fans doesn’t it?
Mitchell plays for the jazz, won the contest and memo is a big part of many jazz fanz memories of our team.

It would be weird if blazers fans or something were bothered by memo comment

But why take his opinion to be so disrespectful? It's what everyone is saying on social media - twitter, facebook, and opinion articles about the dunk contest last night. So what if he played for the Jazz and thought it was the worst dunk contest ever. That does not make one a douche or disrespectful imo. It simply means he was saying color me unimpressed.

Pretty simple answer. We are extremely passionate jazz fans. An ex jazz player that we loved smack talked an event in which our most beloved player in a million years shined.

Whether he is right or wrong doesn’t matter in this case.
Fan = fanatic. Not always logical or even keeled etc.
 
Congrats To Mitchell But That Was a weak dunk contest. Dunking over Kevin Hart and 2 kids Is not as impressive As it used to be. Congrats to THe Kid but was weak compared to past couple years.

Seems that some people are butthurt that some people arent thrilled about memo's comment about the dunk contest. I find that lol worthy as well.

Most everything on jazzfanz is lol worth when you look closely. We are grown men and women that are obsessed with something that really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things after all.

Memo's tweet has very little context. Maybe he wasn't impressed by Mitchells' dunks or maybe he wasn't impressed by the competition in general. Doesn't matter. He is entitled to his opinion, which has negligible impact upon my own.

Too often people look for insult where none was intended. And if insult was intended, then it matters only if we let it. I have fond memories of Memo playing for the Jazz and his tweet doesn't change them at all.

there was a guy i think in last years contest that jumped over normal sized dudes standing up but used them to push up a little higher as he went over them. Don jumped over small dudes but he cleared them so easily it was still breathtaking

The dunk contest is boring because just about everything's been done before. Let's give some credit to Mitchell for the double backboard and jumping over 3 people and to Nance for the double tap. And let's face it, people want to see stars. Would there be excitement if Lebron and Durant were in the contest?

Question: Was the dunk contest held in a closed arena? Because I didn't hear any fans...not even polite clapping during contestant introductions. I though for sure Nance, even though he was traded would get some applause, but nothing. I hope they never, ever hold this thing in LA again. Give the event to cities where fans are excited.

As for Memo, he's probably salty over being traded.

Donovan is now a household name with NBA fans around the country. They've seen not only his skill but also his charisma.
Mission accomplished!

Again. Fan often means fanatic and fans aren’t always logical or fair.
You are using logic here, which is fine and even preferable but not always typical or how the majority of fans react to things of this nature.
Often time with fans emotion, knee jerk reactions, etc override rational though or logic.
 
Btw, my two favorite dunks of all time are the VC one that Mitchell did and one iggy did when he threw it off the back of the backboard and left from out of bounds.

(I was tempted to throw in the Dwight Howard Superman free throw line dunk just to piss off cy)
