Has anybody read this interview about Donovan Mitchell time in Utah? Talks about the difficulty of being black and dealing with the racism of Utah

[Weaver31]

Good article and perspective but I thought he liked playing there and his mom said that's a good place for him and less distractions.

Great interview from Mitchell

Always been a fan, would’ve liked him to be drafted by the Knicks, but wish him the best

Ron Artest and Donovan Mitchell

2 players that grew up in NY that Knicks had a chance to draft but didn't lol

Have you ever been to Cleveland? And if so was it within the last 5 years or so?

Cleveland getting kind of nice all of a sudden.

Nah he's from Westchester county, near White Plains

there's no reason in hell why utah has a professional bball team and the likes of seattle or saint louis doesn't.

Ya'll gotta get over Utah like my fellow Pelicans' fans.

They support the team, heavy. Utah Jazz hear to stay.

Ask yourself--if you really don't get something--why the Hawks aren't the most popular team amongst black athletes?

There last big free agent signing?

It's not all about being in a "cool" town.

Cleveland getting kind of nice all of a sudden.

Went for my first time this last January and was shocked by how nice of a city it is. Really enjoyed my time there and the people.

Worst place to play if u black

No soul food, No barbers, Like 3 black women in the whole state, Mormons and it’s like u drive to the game and back home and even then u get harassed by the cops

 

[Big Boss]

Not surprised

on the bright side, those players should be saving a lot of money since they will mostly be in the crib while they in salt lake city.

ITS SIMPLE...

THEY SELL OUT EVERY GAME
AND HAVE BEEN DOING SO
FOR DECADES.

seattle never had a problem with attendance either.

seattle never had a problem with attendance either.

The old owners tried to get a new stadium from the city, the city rejected it so they sold it to a guy from OKC under the belief that he would keep it there.

ONE LITERALLY
HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH
THE OTHER.

THAT WAS THE OWNERS
PREROGATIVE.
