Donovan Mitchell All Star Weekend Thread

[The Midnight]

Kind of funny he tried to do a similar dunk to Mitchell and failed.

Mitchell threw it off the backboard and caught it at the back of his extension for a tomahawk and Giannis tried to do it off a high bounce but couldnt control it enough to finish.

Which again goes to show how good he was.

Yeah, I said that one was my favorite dunk of his.

I doubt it.
I also wonder about Neto.

I'd be stunned if Neto couldn't dunk if he really wanted to. In many many years of watching our NBL games, i don't think i've ever seen a pro baller not dunk in warmups who was 6ft or over. And that's vastly inferior to NBA calibre athletes.

Great find. Thanks.

This dude is tough to block.
How about a slam dunk contest for the message board posters who are most insulting toward the guys who can dunk?

A fan dunk contest would be fun. Restricted to guys who have never played in the NBA, Gleague or non-US pro league.

If you love basketball, you have to love this kid. KG is just eating up everything he says. Great post, thanks. Just when I thought I couldn't possibly love Spida any more. I hope he can stay humble and continue to grow at this same pace. If he does, watch out league!

Ugh, Kevin Garnett gives me anxiety rocking back and forth standing up. People that do that are weird if when they're not 7 feet tall

Yeah, that was super weird... and he won't quit talking over Donovan. Annoying.

But Spida can handle it.

I think that's why DL invented his balance test. Jazz aren't going to draft anyone who rocks.

If the balance test means passing on talent like Garnett then I'm not sure it's a good test.

The balance test indirectly landed us Mitchell.

You're right. DL fell in love with Lyles because he tested so high on the balance test. I wonder if Lindsey gave the same test to Donovan or if he's decided to do away with that thing. I don't care if a player looks pretty. If he can put the little ball in the big hoop, that's all that matters, whether he looks like a ballerina or a bull in a china store.

Donovan was on Open Court with some other rooks. Can't direct link since NBA's website is trash.

Thanks for this. FYI - if you scroll down, there’s one with NBA coaches. Quin Snyder is a part of the group. It was interesting seeing him laid back and joking a lot. I can see why guys love to play for him.

LOL at Jason Kidd being on the panel... um, Earth to NBA TV, he's no longer a coach?

Speaking of merch, does anyone who goes to a lot of Jazz games or lives in SLC know if there's any City Edition stuff in the arena or at the malls (specifically this hoodie and this hat)? Fanzz's online shop has been out of everything for ages.

I don't know about the hat but all the city edition jerseys and that hoodie were sold out when I went in last week. The manager said the didn't know when they would get more in. He said they are very backordered.
