00:00You have to acknowledge here that Donovan Mitchell is in that elite class when you start talking about NBA players.
00:05Now, when I say elite, right, if you were putting together a list, which literally they pay me to do,
00:11I think that when you start talking about where Donovan Mitchell falls and fits as an NBA player,
00:17right now, best players in the game, he's in that 8 through 12 ranking.
00:23And I think that if you're going to be honest and objective here, because you're literally waiting for this,
00:29and I wanted Donovan Mitchell on my Knicks in the worst possible way.
00:32He grew up in Westchester County, and he always wanted to be a Knick.
00:36And I was always of the opinion that Brunson and Mitchell could have played brilliantly together.
00:40I think it absolutely would have worked.
00:42Didn't happen.
00:42Goes to Cleveland, signs the extension, and he's doing great things.
00:46Once you have a game like he did yesterday, game seven, that takes Spida to a whole different level.
00:55And I think it's important for haters and critics and the media lead and the Twitter tough guys to recognize
01:01what a game like that does.
01:04I think Donovan Mitchell is absolutely 7 through 12 as an NBA player.
01:10Donovan Mitchell also was top seven for league MVP.
01:14Donovan Mitchell's regular season this year was off the charts.
01:18He got everyone involved.
01:19The points might not have necessarily been the same, but the point is he became more of a facilitator in
01:25order to win.
01:26Donovan Mitchell saving his best for when it matters the most.
01:29Look, has my attention as a Knicks fan.
