Family First!
Christmas came early this year for Utah Jazz Rookie, Donovan Mitchell’s mom. Mitchell’s on the court production has made the Jazz organization proud of trading for him on draft day, but he has made them even more proud of what he just recently did off the court. When the Utah Jazz draft a player, they aren’t just drafting him, they’re drafting his entire family. Luckily for the Mitchells, (according to a KSL article) they are used to sticking together as a family.
One month into his professional career, the rookie made a veteran move as he showed appreciation for the woman who raised him by surprising her with a brand-new Audi vehicle. It was a moment he has been waiting for the past few years. He made that well-known in the Instagram caption:
Mom deserve’s more than just an Instagram shoutout right? He also posted his beautiful gift to his mom on Twitter:
No better feeling than this man! I love you Mom thank you for your sacrifice now its time for me to take care of you❤️ thanks to @AudiGreenwich @Audi for making this possible 🙏🏾 Be Humble pic.twitter.com/JegiOZ5CDP
