Mitchell is averaging 24.3 points per game for the Jazz who are 12-4 and were riding an eight-game winning streak ahead of Tuesday night's game against the Knicks. Hall of Fame center Shaquille O’Neal is not backing down from his criticism of Utah Jazz star guard Donovan Mitchell. The resolution notes that O'Neal's “Kazaam” movie has only a 5% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and made fun of his old video game, “Shaq Fu.” Kera Birkeland introduced the resolution wearing a referee jersey and House Speaker Brad Wilson wore a Mitchell jersey while he read a resolution that suggested making “Spida” Mitchell the official state arachnid. O'Neal's take that Mitchell “doesn’t have what it takes to get to the next level is even less accurate than his 50.4% playoff free-throw percentage," the resolution said. “In Utah, we support our players when they face awkward abuse during post-game interviews disguised as pep talks,” the resolution said. Utah Jazz star Donovan Mitchell is showing us how to beat Shaquille ONeal by dominating on the hardwood and using criticism as fuel to the fire. That led to an awkward postgame exchange between O'Neal and Mitchell, who had just scored 36 points to lead the Jazz to a win over the Pelicans. O'Neal, now a studio analyst on TNT, upset Jazz fans when he said at halftime of a game last week that the 24-year-old Mitchell didn't have what it takes to be a superstar. What made it weirder was Shaq, who has been recently trying to beef with Rudy Gobert, bringing it up in the interview with Mitchell and noting that he hoped it would serve as motivation and Mitchell not having any of it.SALT LAKE CITY - Utah lawmakers took a stand Tuesday to defend Jazz star Donovan Mitchell against critiques by Shaquille O’Neal by passing a playful resolution that calls out O'Neal for his poor free throw shooting during his playing days and makes fun of the “Kazaam” movie he starred in more than two decades ago. Mitchell has been the driving force, especially since Darius Garland has played in just two games due to an eye injury. The Cavs have gotten off to a hot start in the 2022-23 season, going 6-1 through their first seven games. That isn’t exactly a startling revelation, as at any given time in league history there are usually only a handful of players that fit that description, but given Mitchell’s sensational 36-point night in the win it was weird timing for that critique. NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal isn’t sold on the idea of Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell being able to carry a team. ![]() The examples of disastrous ones are, well, unfortunately far more prevalent, including with Kevin Durant, Christian Wood, Nikola Jokic, and, most recently, Donovan Mitchell on Thursday night after Utah came back from 16 down to runaway from the Pelicans for their seventh straight win.Īfter Ernie Johnson started things off, they turned to Shaq who was critical of Mitchell at the half, noting he doesn’t believe he can be the best player on a championship team. The best example of the fun option came in the Bubble when they talked with Boban Marjanovic. ![]() There are basically two options for interviews when they are with the Inside the NBA crew: fun or disastrous. In the 2020-21 season, there are no sideline reporters on NBA broadcasts which means postgame interviews are handled by either the announcers in the booth or, in the case of TNT games, the studio crew.
