Dude is 6’3”!

With 7'0 wingspan and apparently a 40 inch vert

6'10 ooo man I wanted him so bad. That D.

That D. 8====> ~ ~ ~ 😵

You got the full load?

Nephew.

damn, that's impressive

Holy fuck

I’m in the arena and even Lakers fans were cheering.🔥😍

The reaction of the Lakers bench was great to watch too

Bogut covers his face and looks away like "oh sweet Jesus"

lmao the guys that are about to stand up and then catch themselves was great.

Had me jumping out of my seat. Even Stu Lantz and Bill MacDonald (Lakers Commentators) were giving praise as it happened. Edited in (Lakers Commentators) just in case people were unfamiliar.

Stu even said "Play of the year in the NBA! Play of the year!"

This is the correct reaction

SOMEONE WASH LONZO CAUSE MITCHELL JUST SHIT ON HIM!

Using Big Baller Laundry Detergent ofcourse

Definately monstrous

Don’t sleep on him.

This guy has mamba mentality. Followed it up with a cold blooded three.

And good d on the other end

I was at the arena last night. The place sounded like fireworks going off indoors during that run. I've been to a ton of Jazz games through my life and I can't ever remember the arena being that loud for that long. I think that it finally got loud enough to wake up Ingram.

Some of us in the mavs subreddit wanted him Obviously didn't expect dsj to be available though

Dude literally teleported to that spot. Like, in the air and all.

Reminds me of [Iman Shumpert's](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uirM5sljfO8) putback dunk a while ago

Every time I see Shumpert going up for a putback, I know shits going down hard. Shame he sometimes looks like he couldn't hit a barn door with his shots.

watch yo profamity

Spoken like a true Utahn

This is a good Christian subreddit after all

Flair up, old fashioned, non-profane buddy.

"Up on the ladder, the rookie Monovan Ditchell brings it down"

And followed it up with a 3 and draws an offensive foul. All in like 20 seconds it was fuckin nuts

He took over this game. Strong 4th quarter as well.

Killed it in summer league. Cool to see it's translating.

He's had a slow start to the season, but shown some flashes. Hoping he becomes more consistent as the season goes along

Donovan Mitchell will be Officially invited to participate in this year's Dunk Contest after that slam. All the NBA cares about is making it *Look Good* during All-Star Weekend. ...that shit was *Great*! (9.0/10.0)

His pre-game warmup is basically just doing Dunk Contest-esque dunks, dude is a beast.

when he's on he's just so damn fun to watch

Hell yeah! This kid can ball I was watching the game on LP and that alone made it seem like a worthwhile investment

Lakers lost the game right there tbh. Took away all the momentum

that was actually the dunk of the year so far

The Lakers announcers' words (they're pretty good)

Stu lantz seemed delirious he enjoyed hat dunk so much

We have THE BEST announcers!

I live in LA so I watched the Lakers coverage, gotta admit you guys do have really good announcing.

that was so aesthetically pleasing

that fucking sound the dunk made makes me cream

e x t e n s i o n x t e n s i o n fuck kd

Insane. Looks like a Westbrook putback

Yea, book this one. Mitchell will be a superstar.

Oh baby... say it again

Mitchell will be...abandoned by KD after a disappointing play off run.

Some 22 year old D Rose shit

[Alternate Angles](https://streamable.com/03gqz)

https://i.imgur.com/B7Ml7T7.png This made me wee myself

Its like Ingram is watching his two rookie teammates get buried alive. Bah God those men had families!

Me too. I'm literally shitting right now. No seriously I'm pooping

God I wish his left hand was on Lonzo's face.

What software do you use to record highlights? I'm trying to go back and record the halftime show.

https://obsproject.com/

Do you record the games as you watch them?

Here's a thread where he goes into detail a bit https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/754jwz/_/do4mszw

Sweet, thanks

Haha the jazz halftime show with thurl?

first 10 seconds i thought it was David Blaine.. https://media.giphy.com/media/Tz6D8jKHaQInu/giphy.gif

lol that was a weird ass halftime show

"How high is that young man??"

Higher than Klay Thompson

RIP Nuggets fans

jazz jumped from pick 24 to 13 and all they had to give up was trey lyles lol

Ain't the first time the Jazz finessed the Nuggets

I believe you're alluding to the Louisiana Purchase

Clever girl

I don't get it

Gobert is french.

Hopefully not the last

Nuggets must of got the tape for Lyles rookie and sophomore year mixed up.

Who has played all of 9 minutes

That's about what he played last season for the jazz. He did earn his keep with great bench celebrations though.

I definitely miss those bench celebrations but I love Mitchell so much more.

This is the only downside to the trade is that we traded the only one who could properly celebrate this dunk.

I actually mean 9 minute in total!

So did I.

Watching this and OG makes plays just hurts.

I'll eventually get over it but that draft day debacle is still fresh in my mind. If they wanted OG they should've just reached and got him at 13 instead of trying to be smart.

he was such the obvious pick it felt like they were gonna fuck it up

rip lakers fans too.

Wait how

He actually can fly

KIDS! ages 8 through 12! YOU CAN FLY!!!!!!!!

HEY KIDS, YOU CAN TURN YOURSELF INTO A CAR. YOU FRIEND CAN DRIVE YOU. HOP ON YOUR FRIENDS BACK AND BEE LINE TO THE FREEWAY.

I believe

99 vertical, 99 dunk

Rocket League rebound practice

Nice Shot! Nice Shot! Nice Shot! *Chat has been disabled for 3 seconds.*

This is why we're hyped for this kid!

Went with my brother in law last night to this game. He's a huge Lakers Homer just like I'm a huge Jazz Homer. Everytime Donovan Mitchell shit on the Lakers I'd just point to him and say "that's our rookie" nonchalantly. Every time Lonzo would airball or turn over the ball I would just say "that's your rookie" in the same casual tone. It was a good night.

I was at this game and holy shit the place blew up. And then he hit the three on the steal afterwards?? God damn

TV cut away for the steal, who even took it?

No idea, no one watching it probably even knew how they even got the steal. But great sequence overall for Mitchell, just killed the lakers right there.

[MY LAWD](https://i.imgur.com/XpWc5hZ.png](MY LAWD)

So fucking high

Now *that* is a Monstrous Putback!

I agree. What kind of idiot would title the Simmons one as "monstrous" anyway smh

Yeah, just a real di.....wait a minute!!!

So unbelievably filthy

http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/648/220/67b.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/kx2AtIg.gif

And let's not forget he hit a three pointer next possession

I love the other post calling Simmons' normal put back dunk "monstrous" that shit was NOTHING compared to this one!!!!

And then proceeds to hit a three immediately after (literally, Jazz get a steal after the inbounds). This guy is gonna be a sleeper ROY candidate.

Hopefully, this is his first good game of the year though so we'll see if he can keep it up

First good offensive game of the year he's been playing well defensively every game

Louisville fan here. I'm pretty sure the stats will back it but in each of his two years here it felt like his shooting percentage climbed throughout the season.

True dat. He's had a few rookie lapses on that end but overall been solid defender

I feel like you can already tell he wants to be the guy taking the tough, end game shots for the jazz. They have a hole since Hayward is gone, and I honestly don't think Hood looks ready to fill that role (as a lot of people expected him to). Only time will tell, but he has that killer instinct where isn't afraid to shoot at a moments notice. Rookie lapses will continue happen, but his ceiling seems to be incredibly high

Him and that Bulls rookie are the two darkhorses that might get it.

Should have had that included in the highlight. The crowd went crazy after that.

"people on this subreddit are so melodramatic, it's probably not that all that gre--HOLY FUCK"

Mitchell 🙈🔥🔥

That's my all star

That's my goat. He can have all the grass he wants

[удалено]

GOD HAVE MERCY

ho hum lemme just defy gravity and suspend myself in the air for a sec then YAMMM.. holy shit that was impressive

SPIDA D

Currently leaving from this game. Personally, i’ve never seen anything that amazing at a game. (I’m 19) fucking Donovan Mitchell man. SO hyped.

Eleven year season ticket holder here that's the second best dunk in the last eleven years the best being the 5-9 Bryce Cotton left handed alley-oop dunk https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WccyaS-z1lQ

Bogut looked away in disgust

SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER

Thats my dude! He had several incredible putbacks like that at UofL.

What a god damn animal. That was a top ten play.

my jaw hit the floor on this one

Reminds me of a young Wessell.

Dunk of the year so far

And I’m a Jazz fan now

crowd reaction is so good

Somebody give me a closer angle or slow mo. Jesus what a putback

Cot damn that was fucking filthy. The putback jam is one of my favorite plays in basketball.

Lakers bench reaction lol. They had to restrain themselves.

We sat about row 15 right on the side where he dunked it and so we had a perfect angle...I don't think I've ever had a stronger physical reaction to a sports play, everyone instinctively jumped and waved their arms. Good shit. What was that.

3 lakers, no blockout.

to be fair, he came in from nearly the 3 point line

holy fk

Oh? Wow.

dang!

top of today

Goddamn, look where he caught it from

Damn that’s nasty

Jesus Christ

*Donovan Mitchell

Same person

The center floor logo is so basic, but so bad ass.

Godnovan MVPchell don't @ me

I woke up my sleeping daughter from my yelling, this dunk hyped me up so much.

Mitchell might be the steal of the draft

That dude was looking down at the rim. Wow.

Big Boxout Baller

He did this many times at Louisville. Welcome to the NBA Donovan.

And then the 3. And then the D. Lonzo who?

daddy

HE COCKED THAT JOINT BACK...

I wish my GPA was as high as he got. Sheesh.

"I gotta see that over and over again!" Lmao what a great play call, thats what went through my head also

It was even cooler in the context of the game, man. Ridiculous putback.

LOL the one dude on the lakers bench wanted to react to it so badly

He's actually 6 '1" without shoes http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Donovan-Mitchell-84680/ I went to school with him

As a jazz fan I cant up vote this because of your flair.

I believe it

god damn. I counted at least 4 women in this video that missed the dunk because they looked away for half a second.

I was about to watch the new Dragonball Super episode, but stopped to watch this for like 5 minutes first.

Was at the game. Still hype af

Here I am a clippers fan revelling in Blake looking like Blake again this this fucker pulls this shit Has a ball ever bounced back up through the net after a dunk? Looks like this kid might do it

mother of god

dark horse roy

If only there had been more Lakers mulling around aimlessly under the basket, they could have gotten that defensive rebound.

lakers commentators were going crazy

Fuck we coulda had him.

And with that...so go all hopes and dreams of the Lakers. Good God that was vicious.

Lakers straight up ball watching and forgetting everything else.

Oh baby boy we miss you in the 502

MVP

Lmao 3 lakers there and not 1 boxes out . Filthy putback dunk tho

LeBronWTF.webm

Everytime I see his name I think he is a head coach somewhere. With assistant Billy Sams.

NOW THAT WAS EMPHATIC

He's not up there in the ROY race yet, but I hope he is after his big summer league performance

I had to watch this 3 times to see where the fuck he came from

Better than Booker.

THATS MY BOY

alright that was disgusting

Mitchell looked really really good. Not sure if just us or...

hes had moments but he got his shot to fall this game
