| Quote: | Donovan Mitchell: I was at LeBron James’ Decision
Donovan Mitchell has turned heads with the Jazz then made the most of his All-Star stage, winning the dunk contest.
But that wasn’t the first time he neared the spotlight.
Mitchell explained how he attended The Decision, LeBron James‘ 2010 free-agency TV special, where he announced he’d sign with the Heat.
Mitchell, via Dan Devine of Yahoo Sports:
“I was there, when he had The Decision,” Mitchell explained. “So that would probably be the biggest one.”
Like, there there?
“It was in Greenwich, Conn., and I went to school in Greenwich [at Greenwich Country Day School],” he said. “So, as a big LeBron fan in the sixth grade, I forced my mom to let me go. I wanted him to go to Miami. I wanted him to get his first ring.”
Young Donovan was glad to see one of his favorite players chart a course for a more successful future. Not everybody at the Greenwich Boys & Girls Club shared his enthusiasm.
“The people there who were Knicks fans … they weren’t too happy about it,” Mitchell said. “I almost got hit in the head with a Snapple bottle because they were just throwing stuff around outside. It was cool. I was just celebrating, so it was pretty cool.”
What a cool bit of happenstance. |

The parade the following day or so when they came out like rappers in the arena was a close second. |
