If you missed Donovan Mitchell’s piece in the Players Tribune yesterday, stop what you’re doing right now and read it. Without any bit of hyperbole, it’s one of the best things I’ve ever read. Donovan’s mother, Nicole, is the guest editor of the story and the way that she pops in and out of Donovan’s stories giving her side of things is absolutely perfect and pretty hilarious.
I don’t think I truly comprehended how amazing Donovan’s journey has been until I read this article yesterday morning. I mean, I knew he had mentioned several times that he “wasn’t supposed to be here” or that there were points in his collegiate career that he didn’t think he would ever get drafted.
