Donovan Mitchell arrived at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California on Monday in style. The Utah Jazz guard sported a red suit, but his transportation to the event is what made the most noise.
Mitchell arrived in a massive Adidas-sponsored black van that read “Rookie?” which has been used in a campaign to troll Philadelphia’s Ben Simmons in the Rookie of the Year race.
Simmons would take home the trophy that night, but Adidas still decided to celebrate Mitchell’s record-breaking rookie season Tuesday at the adidas Sport Performance store in Santa Monica.
Mitchell met with hundreds of fans at the event, signing autographs and participating in an arcade-style Pop-A-Shot tournament.
