What's wrong with a middle-aged Wyoming dude's opinion? Isn't it as valuable as some metrosexual teenager from San Fran?

Did I say anything was wrong with it or equate the value of your opinion?

I hate Michael Jordan with a passion, but I can't deny that most of the basketball world adores him. Even non-basketball people like him. It's not because he has no tattoos but because he was an icon. I think more people are turned away by sleeves and over the top tattoos than people are drawn to it.

I think Mitchell has the game and personality to be a face for the NBA. If he emerges as that guy, it is fantastic for our brand. And in my personal, humble opinion, I think a "tattoo-less" star can go farther in terms of reaching more people. It should be irrelevant, but it's true.

People love Lebron. People's love for a player is not related to the presence of tattoos...

No. No it is not.

Does anybody else really hope that Mitchell stays tattoo free? I like his squeaky clean image. He could be a massive ambassador for the game if he keeps his humble, clean approach.

....let me see.....maybe Carolina Jazz? I'm also thinking that Mitchell has a boat load of brains that Iverson didn't have, is more coachable, and a better shooter as well!

ESPN just made a pretty interesting article, basically saying we are a rich man's 76ers of the Iverson era, with Mitchell. Moreover, Mitchell has uncannily similar statistics to Iverson, and is in pretty good territory regarding his usage rate as a rookie and projected career outlook. Nice read. Haven't seen it posted here yet.

I've actually wanted to suggest this comp on here before but didn't because I knew how it would be received here, as people don't like him. I also heard Jet on TNT bring up the Mitch Richmond comp, not sure I see that though.

Locke has suggested this a few times. I can see it but I think some other comps are better, with none being entirely spot on.

Personally, its as good a comp as any in my opinion. He's my favorite none jazz player

The dynamic between Mitchell and Gobert does remind me of Iverson and Mutombo. However, Mitchell and Iverson are very different both on and off the court.

So does the ink go into his brain? I'm pretty sure 98% of NBA players have tats. This isn't the 50's. Do you just assume anyone with a tat is bad news ??

If he got hepatitis, then yes, the effects could be felt by his brain.

Nothing wrong with your opinion. Donovan doesn’t have a tattoo on his body right now. I doubt he’s going to go wild, but if he gets some it is nothing that affects him/his image. The kid is pure gold, he’s an amazing kid and I think he always will be and will never lose himself. Even if Donovan wasn’t the super star he’s obviously turning into, he’s so damn loveable and a sleeve of tattoos doesn’t change that.

Then there’s this kind of stuff, he’s truly pushed Utah and being happy here, he could tattoo every inch of his body and I wouldn’t love this kid less
