Donovan Mitchell tried winning over Ohio State fans on Twitter and Mikal Bridges saw right through it
ICYMI: NBA superstar Donovan Mitchell was traded on Thursday from the Utah Jazz to the Cleveland Cavaliers in arguably the league’s biggest off-season trade.
Mitchell has spent all of one full day as a member of the Cavs and he’s already doing his best to win over as many Ohio fans as possible.
Completely unprompted, Spida announced to his Twitter followers on Saturday afternoon who he’s rolling with ahead of the weekend’s big Ohio State-Notre Dame game.
As you may have guessed, he’s rolling with the Buckeyes tonight.
While the Buckeyes are a wise pick (they’re the favorite, the No. 2 team in the nation and have the home-field advantage), it’s blatantly obvious what Mitchell is doing here.
And I can’t blame him.
Phoenix Suns forward Mikal Bridges isn’t letting this slide, though.
Nothing like a little fun NBA banter between players.
Anyways, we know who Donovan Mitchell’s pick for the night is. Who’s yours?
