Donovan wins ESPY

[gomretat]

Like everyone else I love DM and what he is doing and how he has embraced the Jazz. I also find it odd that he did not say anything about the Jazz in his speech. Probably an oversight and I don't think the sky is falling but it stood out that he did not mention the his current team, coaches, or teammates.

That suit is bad as ****.

Listening to the speech again, it was really framed from the opening sentence about how he got to the draft, his doubt about not being good enough. And then he thanked the people who got him there and told kids to believe in themselves. Theres no disrespect in not mentioning post draft success with the Jazz.

And that suit...damn, this guy is a megastar and will be a fashion icon. Is he going to be in a lawsuit soon with Disney/Marvel, though?

Mitchell needs to help Rudy get some better tailored suits. His pink one is ugly af.

Gobert is a far better dresser than Mitchell. I think Mitchell is actually terrible at it.

This is so clear...it's all because of George and Bjelica. Donovan went hard after George, but just like DWill, he's discovered stars just don't want to play in Salt Lake. DWill was going to test free agency and likely leave because he couldnt attract other players to join him in Utah.

And for whatever reason - likely signing Favors - the Jazz didnt get Bjelica, despite Dononvan recruiting him in Europe.

So two swings and two misses for the Jazz and Donovan. Fortunately, Dononvan cant go anywhere else for 6 more years, unless he pulls a Kawhi.


BTW, the post above is pure sarcasm. I think we can excuse one brain lapse on his part. He's always been positive about Utah. Let's put off worrying unless he rejects the mega max extension in 5 years.

Donovan didnt recruit Bjelica. Jesus Christ.

He wasn’t as polished last night as he normally is... speech was good... I think he was surprised. When you are doing those types of things it can happen where you forget something or someone... anyone who doesn’t think DM loves and appreciates us ain’t paying attention.

Congrats DM! You getting noticed nationally for what you are accomplishing! Jazz fans... this is a good thing... be happy.

Seriously. Imagine DL sat with DM and said would you rather have us keep Favs or sign Bjelica? What do you think he’d say? He called Favs a big bro... if you watch their interactions they clearly like each other a lot. It’s one of the main reasons I was happy Favs wanted to stay.

We already on high alert with DM... we are Michael Vick’s dogs as a fanbase... traumatized and in need of therapy.

Guys he’s not Gordon... he has already gotten more recognition than Gordo did and we have a much smarter management team and coaching staff... we need to stop reaching.

The way ESPN, SC, and the ESPYs were covering this category, I’d be amazed if he didn’t know he won well before he won.

There's a time limit and he was nervous and spouted the first things that came to his mind. It was obvious he was nervous when he asked the audience to give his mom a round of applause after they already did. He was in his head. Calm down brosco.

I don’t care what you see my reaction as. I never said it meant everything. It’s just odd that in that setting your forget to thank your teammates, coaches, and organization. Yes I loved the part about his sister and his mom. Yes he should thank everyone else. And yes, you should thank your teammates,coaches, and the Jazz. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a guy forget to thank his teammates and coaches. Sorry to mention something most of you seem to not like? More truth is found in unpolished moments.

What truth was found? That's the question I'm asking.

K... that is fine, but still can be off in the moment... speaking in front of people can be tough. There were moments after games where he was kinda speechless. He was a little off last night.

And to whoever said he may have been caught off guard by winning. Judging by how ESPN,ESPYs, and Sportcenter covered this category on their social media, and the fact Donovan was the only one they really talked to prior, it was starting to become more obvious he was winning and your naive if you think he didn’t know prior to it being announced live.

There’s no way you rattle off everything you did, get to Louisville, and then stop and forget the current organization you play for, your current coaches, and current teammates and remember to give Kyle Kuzma a shout-out and completely forget the Jazz. Has he beat the drum....sure. But this is a different setting, and I’m sorry, Donovan isn’t just the kind of guy who forgets his teammates and coaches like that.

Correct. the only rational explanation is he did it on purpose... he hates them all.

Everyone put your tin foil hats on and jump off the tallest building in your immediate area... the end is near.

What we're saying is he was nervous and spouted out anything that came to mind. Have you ever been put on the spot and had your mind racing to find any words?

And immediately after the fact realize your mistake and put up a long Twitter post about it. You actin crazy man. This isn't some deep subconscious expression of where his true loyalty lays.

May I have his number since you seem to know him so well?

If Gordon Hayward had won an award yesterday and said I’d like to thank my elementary school, Brownsburg Highschool, Butler, and the Celtics for all my success, you all would take issue with it and don’t say you wouldn’t.

I wouldn't care.

 

[Jazz Spazz]

People, give oneye a break, he's nervous after Spida won it. He's just saying stuff that comes to mind, and clearly was surprised by the turn of events.

He'll be ok, don't worry.

Did I mention Donovan is perfect....that’s better-edited
