Donovan wins ESPY

We're really going to question his loyalty/appreciation to the team and fanbase?

He got on stage and thanked his sister, gave his mom a round of applause, thanked his high school, thanked his college, thanked his agency, and then told kids that haters gonna hate and they should go for their dreams. He then realized he forgot to thank the Jazz and his teammates and immediately went on Twitter to give them a shout.

Let's give him a break. He's done everything right every step of the way so far.

Who said this?

All Ive read (or mentioned) was it was "strange", "unusual" or little worrisome.

It was an observation, no one has questioned his character or commitment to the Jazz.

Y'all are being super sensitive and overly dramatic.

Yeah I don’t think I ever went that far. I used the word strange and everyone’s hypersensitive at any hint of questioning of DM and then call me sensitive.
 
the sunnies no doubt I can see a Jingles "pimp" reference coming up ..

btw what a magnificent July day eh

Tell me about it, getting flogged at work too. Got the next three days off tho, the old man is hopefully getting discharged from hospital after being in for a week and with a bit of luck i'll be spending the weekend with a thoroughly immoral woman.
 
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.
So say what you want to say, then. What's it mean? Why did he not mention Utah?

If this is a thing that matters to you explain what significance it has.

I mean I see your reaction as just some more Utah inferiority complex patheticness, but if you got something bigger than that, since you want to keep talking about it, tell us what it is.
 
In his red carpet interview, he was his usual poised self, talking about Allen and Ingles, how he hopes to avoid the sophomore slump, and the fun he had with the ROY stuff. But he was also obviously a bit starstruck watching all the athletes around him.

His speech was interesting. It was the least polished thing I've seen from him. The moment was big. I don't fault him a bit for not mentioning everything he likely wanted. I actually didn't even notice the Jazz oversight until I read this thread. I just thought it was amusing that he was acting more like the youngster he is than usual.

And I adored his suit.

he was probably conscious about what people would think about him wearing shades and that suit up in the stage
