one of the most likable and humble nba stars on and off the court. still underrated to this day. still probably the best bucket as a smaller guard we've seen come in the league since steph
Met Donovan back in his time at the Ville watching a Louisville Baseball game. Super humble and low key then, appears the same way now. Awesome to watch his continued success.
I met Donovan back in 2018,when he came in Greece for an event with Adidas. He was kind with everybody,he signed autographs etc. Great and very humble guy,i wish nothing but success for him and for his team. The Cavs,are pretty fun to watch team and if they remain healthy they will have a good deep playoff run. PS. I would like to see an episode with Darius Garland in the future.
Bro I'm so sorry but I was over the moon when we acquired him and I don't think I could be any more pleased at the moment if I tried 😁 maybe I'm not THAT sorry lol 😅
@@charleswoloschak3946yup but he needs to get contacts there's no way he's a better shooter not being able to see as clearly as he can. Best hitters in baseball have like 20/10 vision and I believe Steph has similar vision. I wear contacts and they make everything easier. If he makes some kind of mistake in a big moment in the playoffs this interview is going to come to mind. There's no way he can truly believe his depth perception is better because his vision is more blurry lol.
And…. There’s a reason they play bball and not fball goofy and he isn’t that much taller stop it yall be over exaggerating everything I see why many ppl,don’t succeed in life and stay put working a 9-5 that doesn’t pay you well at all for 15yrs or more tsc and nfl players aren’t normal ppl either most of them are 6’2 on average wdym 😂😂💯💯💯
Utah Jazz fan my whole 38 years. Donovan is the best thing to happen to UTAH in sports history!!! So glad we got to watch him every night. Utah will never be the same and Donovan Mitchell will never be forgotten
Shoot, Allen and Mobley startin to be the best big man duo in the league. Everyone was worried about how our team would click. And damn did they click!! 🎉❤
I love that the coach is utilizing our bigs in the paint and not on the perimeter. IDC how well a PF or C can shoot you're letting the defense off the hook attempting multiple 3's a game draw fouls and make your free throws. Garland letting the shots find him is making the game so much easier for everyone else i think we need a 3 that can get his own shots and attack the rim we really just need size on the wing idk why Emoni Bates doesn't get more opportunities
Honestly most athletes are articulate not much of a compliment anymore. In my life I haven't seen that many football and basketball players that weren't at least average intelligence especially when they're active without head trauma.
I'm a 56 year old black man and I get a very warm feeling inside witnessing the camaraderie between these men, the respect they show each other, the humor, all of it. It's just inspiring for some reason.
Man I haven’t been a Fan of Donovan until hearing him talk about his Appreciation for his Mom, Grandma and Sis !! I Love Real Men Shit! I Love this Show
Great listen. Great interview as always. You facilitate such a relaxed environment, and are well prepared. That guests really look comfortable for it being an interview setting. And off topic. That man looks good wearing glasses, the specs suit him well.
This is what you call being award! Great man is all you can say! Cavs made a great decision to sign him along with being aware that they have a fast paced team that can still buckle down!
Man, I love me some Donovan Mitchell! THANK YOU Pivot for this one!😀 I'm a cougar in training 😂😂😂 But seriously I've really enjoyed watching his growth over the past couple of seasons, but this season is special & I really believe the Cavs are going places.
@GODsoN_8471 LOL No, I'm definitely old enough! 😂 I think it's like 10 years older to be considered a cougar & I have about 13 yrs on him. 😂 I've never been with a younger man, so until I have, I'm still in training 😂😂😂😂
One of my fav NBA players of all time. I think he is the most underrated for sure. He is super talented and always chill. Wish he was at Nike tho lol. Great episode guys.
41:20 Thats the part that I think can take the Cavs to the finals. Donny embracing the "LeBron" role where he gets his when needed, but his focus is on the balanced attack. We've seen that during this first month quite a bit, especially with DG. That will be huge for playoffs series' this year, imo.
Donovan touched on something that I feel is more important than anything else in the game which is team chemistry. You can sign or trade for all the elite players you want on your team. But there's a very good reason behind the iconic legendary b-ball teams like Magic's Lakers, Bird's Celtics, or MJ's Bulls. Just saying...
Its true for any team sport. my fav soccer team, keep the core players and they got the best results. Made 4 finals and won 1 chip out of 5 years. When a team feels like a family thats when you know its going to be good.
I hope big 45 and cavs read this yal bringing energy bk to the city yal turning into hall of famers in front of our eyes .stay true mane yal chemistry is at 1000 to the bench. The bench ain't playin with em hey can't nobody tell me nothing about my cavs my browns or my guardians
32:45 mentions his sister how she sacrificed hanging with friends, goin' to parties, goin' meet guys... to drive to watch him play. N' who am I not to be able to make sure she has everythin' she ever wants. ❤❤❤ Sisters really be ur #1 fans
Really depends on Okoro and Levert playing. Already missing for tonight Wade and Merrill and of course still waiting for Max Strus to comeback, which is another 40% caliber 3 point shooter who plays defense
Spida 🏀 Freddy T , You're Getting That Jacket 🧥🧥🧥 Been Rollin' Since College, Won Multiple Fantasy Football Seasons In The Beginning Because Of You 🖐️🏉 Legend, They Know, Grammy Will See 2 It , She Put A Word In With God ... Yes Lord 🙏🙌
lol Ryan I would have to agree with Chan this time go with the word you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. You went from this time to I talking about the High school one. lol
There's no way he's a better shooter without the contacts than he would be with them. He's gotta start practicing with them because if he makes a mistake in a big moment in the playoffs this interview is gonna be in the back of my mind. This is coming from someone that wears contacts and the only time your depth perception is negatively effected is if you're only wearing one. I know because i had to go a month wearing only one and I was driving slow at night & my girl asked me why I said specifically that my depth perception was off and I was just being careful.
one of the most likable and humble nba stars on and off the court. still underrated to this day. still probably the best bucket as a smaller guard we've seen come in the league since steph
He's not underrated so much now he was a top MVP guy last year. He's definitely stepped his game up to another level since joining my hometown Cavs
Donovan - Cleveland Loves You!❤
NFL get Freddie T in the hall of fame already, it’s been long enough
Right bro. They trippin.
This guy is a superstar. We love him in Cleveland!

Ayyye Get DG on the show!!!
12 mins in and this already might be one of my favorite ones .
Factzzz
Mannnnn we miss D. Mitchell in Utah. But I'm glad to see him and the CAVS doing their thang!
Bro I'm so sorry but I was over the moon when we acquired him and I don't think I could be any more pleased at the moment if I tried 😁 maybe I'm not THAT sorry lol 😅
@@supersaiyan44035added bonus was Steven B Salty whining 😂
We love the Spida here in The Land!!
thanks for him lol

I'm from Louisville thank you Donovan Mitchell for coming and playing for Louisville basketball 🏀 you will win the NBA championship
Let’s go Spida! It’s been so fun to watch this year , Go Cavs !
Its always funny seeing "small guards" in the NBA stand next to normal people. He is making 3 former NFL players look tiny.
And the NFL players are built and still look so small
And…. There’s a reason they play bball and not fball goofy and he isn’t that much taller stop it yall be over exaggerating everything I see why many ppl,don’t succeed in life and stay put working a 9-5 that doesn’t pay you well at all for 15yrs or more tsc and nfl players aren’t normal ppl either most of them are 6’2 on average wdym 😂😂💯💯💯
NBA guards be like 6`2 like Steph
@ most guards be 6’2-6’5 tbh
He's barely taller than them and they're bigger than him.....
New Donovan fan here. Not for his play have not seen him play. Has it together awareness, intelligence and must have skill. I’ll be checking him out.
He's a pleasure to watch all the guys in the starting 5 are just like him high character guys.
Great episode. Donovan speaks with such a love for the game. I appreciate him talking about his grandmother. Beautiful part of the conversation.
Utah Jazz fan my whole 38 years. Donovan is the best thing to happen to UTAH in sports history!!! So glad we got to watch him every night. Utah will never be the same and Donovan Mitchell will never be forgotten
I mean he's definitely more exciting than Stockton and Malone but what about them? I live in Cleveland and we definitely appreciate him here
Donovan Spida Mitchell a.k.a. the best shooting guard in the NBA
Him and DG best Backcourt Duo in the league!!!
SPIDA-LAND 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Shoot, Allen and Mobley startin to be the best big man duo in the league. Everyone was worried about how our team would click. And damn did they click!! 🎉❤
They are tuff and fearless. They don’t give AF. 👍🏾💪🏾💯
I love that the coach is utilizing our bigs in the paint and not on the perimeter.

Let’s go Pivot fam! Love to see an nba player on during the season. Yall always have the best guest! Been down since day 1! Keep goin!
Mitchell is an impressive guy. Not just as a player, I was blown away by this interview.
very articulate guy, seems very down to earth, that is what i like in him. On top of that he is a great leader for the cavs players
Honestly most athletes are articulate not much of a compliment anymore. In my life I haven't seen that many football and basketball players that weren't at least average intelligence especially when they're active without head trauma.
I couldnt stand Ryan Clark for years as a Browns Fan. Now he's my favorite Sports Head these days. Just wanted to say that. lol
Tell him trump won 😂😂😂
Glad you evolved 😂😂😂
Still not mine, his personality is… fakey and implicative.
Same
You and the Browns but suck.
Oh momma not ashamed no moe!!! Congrats you are so humble & articulate Cleveland so lucky to have you.
Clearly you're comment has nothing to do with race but c'mon is pointing out that he's articulate even worth mentioning?
Confident, humble, dog mentality, aware, intelligent bros my goat
Yes, soon to be the new King in Cleveland
It’s go time tonight baby!!! This is why you play the game I’m excited for you guys… GO CAVS!!!
Chan: “He can do all things through God that strengthens him” 😂😂😂
MVP!!! Best backcourt in the league. Donovan and DJ. 💪🏽💯 Go Cavs.
Had me hooked… we don’t pay teachers enough 🙌🏼
I respect this man on another level now ( another great interview fellas )
Always Been A Big Fan Of D-Mitch! Continued Success Brother!
Another great interview.
Great conversation and show
gotta love the Pivot! they stay on it !
I'm a 56 year old black man and I get a very warm feeling inside witnessing the camaraderie between these men, the respect they show each other, the humor, all of it. It's just inspiring for some reason.
13:08, Crowder: " _I gotta ask this lil' basketball player to let me hold 10-mil_ "

Great Interview!
Man I haven’t been a Fan of Donovan until hearing him talk about his Appreciation for his Mom, Grandma and Sis !! I Love Real Men Shit! I Love this Show

MVP Donovan Mitchell
"Did you meat up?" is an insane question lmaooo
Great listen. Great interview as always. You facilitate such a relaxed environment, and are well prepared. That guests really look comfortable for it being an interview setting. And off topic. That man looks good wearing glasses, the specs suit him well.
I’m just impressed by Donovan and his Skims commercial 👀 😂. Anyways ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
This is what you call being award! Great man is all you can say! Cavs made a great decision to sign him along with being aware that they have a fast paced team that can still buckle down!
Man, I love me some Donovan Mitchell! THANK YOU Pivot for this one!😀
I'm a cougar in training 😂😂😂
But seriously
I've really enjoyed watching his growth over the past couple of seasons, but this season is special & I really believe the Cavs are going places.
Lol what's a cougar in training? Not quite old enough yet or what? Honest question and mean no disrespect.
@GODsoN_8471 LOL No, I'm definitely old enough! 😂 I think it's like 10 years older to be considered a cougar & I have about 13 yrs on him. 😂 I've never been with a younger man, so until I have, I'm still in training 😂😂😂😂
Lets go CAVS!!!!
