  1. It is insane to me how good he is at his size. Yes, he has a long wingspan and is built like a mini tank but to do what he does at like 6'2 is alltime stuff. Really good shooter, great driving and finishing ability as well as good vision. Looking back he shiuld have been closer to 1 and 2 in the mvp race, this is apex Mitchell and it will be a crime if he doesnt make first team allnba.

  2. Ppl sleep on Mitchell & the Cavs. Mitchel averages 24 for his career & 28.5 in the playoffs, in 61 games total & gets 5asi , 5reb. That’s a Certified #1 option, and he has a REALLY good team around him when everyone’s healthy. They were #1 in the east ALL year ‼️ Don’t sleep on the Cavs….

  3. this nukka a got dayum beast. bro getting hacked and mugged left and right, still makes the basket AND FING 1. pacers are shook. they cant compete against a semi healthy cavs squad

  4. That double clutch layup at the beginning was insane in slo mo ! The degree of difficulty ! I want to glaze harder but imma control myself

  5. He was carrying the team on his back. Pacers made some little run but he countered it immediately everytime. Shout out to Mobley and Allen for dominating the boards and Struss for hitting his shots.

  6. Holy shit tough bucket after tough bucket. What a performance. Thoroughly impressed by this one.

  7. Can someone tell me why Mitchell gets so underrated? … I don't care what anyone says, he's more valuable to his franchise than Tatum.

  8. This man is playing like he wants #45 retired in Cleveland. An absolute dawg right now

  9. Incredible performance by Donovan, and it sure is shocking how both Indy and Cleveland are playing better on the road than at their own arenas so far.

  10. I can’t remember the last time I saw a player putting together these types of moves in playoff games, rather than January games vs the Hornets.
    It’s not just the numbers and clutch play, but it’s the highlight variety of these plays in these performances. Donovan Mitchell is easily a top 5 6’2” and under scorer ever. Easily. Easily. Easily.

  11. Until Mitchell learns that sacrificing some of his points to become a more willing playmaker the Cavs not winning shit. Pacers taking the next 2
