So close to 20+ points per game. Kid really is amazing. Scoring, shooting, passing, dunks, defense, clutch plays. He’s got it all.

I cannot wait to see Donovan in a playoff series......but yeah Donovan’s the biggest golden child the Jazz have ever have. I hope we realize how lucky we were especially listening to how good of a kid he is that 13 teams sat across from Donovan and said....nah.

Per 36 he’s at 21.7/4/4 I really can’t wait to see what the future holds for this kid.

I think the sign that he is going to be an all-time great player is his ability to do the amazing instinctively. That move he made against Phoenix, double clutching from his right to left hand is very similar to a move Jordan made in the playoffs some years back. When KK asked him if he had practiced it, he said, I'm paraphrasing, that I didn't realize I did it; it just happened.
Oh, just to reiterate, I was the first here to predict all-time greatness -- I know I will get grief for saying this again as I already did, but I predicted it in October after the Lakers game and saw that amazing dunk in person as I was in the lower bowl near the basket he made the dunk. Maybe others were thinking the same thing, but I was the first to put it in black and white. It's just like Darwin's theory. Others had come up with the theory of evolution but he was the first to publish it so he got the credit. Now let's not get into a debate about evolution, there is more proof for it than there is that Jesus Christ existed.

Countdown on Most 3 point makes by a Rookie: Post Hawks - 3/20/18
1.) Damian Lillard, Portland (12/13) - 185
2.) Steph Curry, GSW (09/10) - 166
3.) Donovan Mitchell, Utah (17/18) - 160
Donovan Mitchell (17/18) - with one more 3 pointer tonight brings his total to 160. Moves him into sole possession of 3rd all time.
Needs 7 more to take 2nd and 26 more to take over 1st.
11 games left to go. He needs to average 2.36 per game to do that. He’s been averaging 2.6 per game (on 7.3 attempts) since the win streak began back in January.
Even with an off night, he’s still on target. If he can get his shot to go down, he’s going to blow this thing out of the water. Not too hot against the Kings or Hawks, but he still has a green light. Hopefully he gets his mojo back.

I have to say it. Of all Mitchell's stats and achievements - his volume 3 pt shooting is underwhelming. Has he already set the record for most misses by a rookie. Shooting under 35%.... It's not one of his stronger arguments for rookie of the year.
What I do like is how he can feel unguardable when he makes those off the dribble bombs. Just doesn't happen that often atm...

I was making an exaggerated statement -- It wasn't atheistic. There is a lot of proof that Jesus Christ existed, but despite what the Bible thumpers say, there is an incredible amount of evidence supporting evolution.

I'm a Christian, but I am happy to concede there is very little evidence outside of religious scriptures that provide 'assurances' of Jesus's human existence.
I believe Cicero is one of the few 'agnostics' who reported that at the time of Nero burning down parts of Rome, the group who was deemed responsible or scapegoated (by the authorities) for the fires was the rabble who followed a rabble-rouser named 'Jesus the Christ'.
St. Ignatius of Antioch (1st Century CE) speaks about him in detail - but his letters are basically seen as religious versus historical.
And btw, I am no Bible thumper - even though Bible thumpers have told me I should be ....
