I hurt far too many feelings with this post-edited.

To all those who want to criticize the fact that a couple people just said he may have left something out......in my next speech I think I’ll thank my dad, my sister, my brother, and my aunt....and leave out my mom during the same sentence when she birthed and raised me. If you’re gonna thank your youth school, private school, and college, the place you’re currently with shouldn’t just slip your mind in that same sentence.

....now queue the hate because it’s Donovan.

Straws buddy, straws.

I get it you’re nervous, whatnot, but thanking your agency, and every place you’ve played under the sun except the one you currently play for is strange. There’s a contrast between Rudy’s speech and Donovan’s. There’s no denying it. I can’t say it’s great you forget the organization, teammates, and coach who essentially gave you the opportunity in year one to open this door up.

....nothing means everything...but everything means something.

lol you read something into nearly everything. How do you get to sleep at night, how many times do you check under the bed ?

That’s my opinion. I love Donovan. But no.

It's amazing how a perceived diss destroys people's connection with reality. I can only imagine what your family puts up with, since such an event with a basketball player, that deserves it and doesn't have to talk about basketball, has you plucking your keyboard at night.
 
Lol idgaf what his speech is like. We have a guy on our team, winning national media awards and putting a small-market, stereotyped, often ill-perceived team into the spotlight on a weekly basis.

We haven’t had that since, maybe ever. Rejoice
 
I'll take him getting the crowd to give his mother a round of applause and him giving a good message to young kids over a mention about a NBA organization every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Quit trying to be the psychotic girlfriend who gets upset when he goes 5 minutes without mentioning your name. He has banged the Jazz drum ever since he was drafted. It'll be alright for him to make some appearances and not mention the Jazz.

Oh I agree, the love he has for his mother and sister is admirable, and he’s a great human being no doubt. Donovan’s an amazing role model and dude with a good heart. I also stand by my opinion, this IS the time you mention it, just like every other player.

Is it the time? Probably. Is it a necessity? No. It's his first major awards show, I'm not going to castrate him for it and my guess is neither will the organization or his teammates. The fact that we have a player in these award shows is enough merit for me. But apparently not for people who need to point out every negative thing in every little detail.
