Donovan Mitchell - We are lucky to have him

I'm pretty cynical when it comes to people, so I have a hard time believing Mitchell is actually enjoys being as altruistic as he comes off.

Being cynical is completely understandable. It's hard to to not believe he's legitimate with all he does though. There's a long list of things he's already done. With this, he wasn't looking for credit, and he wasn't looking for attention. He just did it because he could.

Donovan wouldn't have to do even half the things he does to be loved here. The amount of pictures I see him tagged in with fans he takes time with is ridiculous, the amount of love and trust he has from the Jazz front office, his teammates, and coaches. The media. Part of it is, he literally has everyone in the palm of his hands which is the cynical thought on it, but everyone says it's legitimate. Donovan seems like something wayyyy too good to be true, but he just keeps getting better.

Doing good for others makes you feel good. It's a pain in the *** sometimes... not sure why you wouldn't think he likes this or is partly disingenuous. I think in large part this is who he is and he is genuine.

If he wasn’t genuine he would not be in SLC, in an Apple store, in the beginning of August taking care of some fan he knows nothing about. He didn’t know it would find it’s way on twitter to blow up. He owned this fan base before he paid for someone’s iPhone, didn’t need to do it. He could, so he did. Donovan’s a good person, and I think that’s completely legitimate. Maybe sometimes we’re cynical because we know we wouldn’t do the same thing. If it’s all 100% him, I’m not afraid to admit that 21 year old kid is a better dude than me.

Clearly him feeling good about himself wasnt the only benefit for him in this exchange.
