Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell had a special surprise for graduates of Classical Studies Magnet Academy, located in Bridgeport, Connecticut, at its recent graduation ceremony.
As the eighth graders of the Class of 2020, moving on to high school, came off of the stage at the drive-in graduation in a state Mitchell spent many of his formative years, they found a special gift waiting for them: Each graduate got two pairs of Mitchell’s Adidas shoes, the D.O.N Issue #1s, courtesy of the NBA All-Star.
“This is something that he will inspire other children to just keep on moving forward, no matter what’s happening around you.
