Been following him since his days at Utah. Always been humble and is never about him. A classy guy. Great job DM.

What was even more impressive was Donovan's humility post game interview. This dudes gonna go far. Good for him!

[darrienjames]

71 points AND double digit assists?!?! Amazing💪🏿

I’m impressed with how he answers every question. His answers show that his approach and understanding of the game is on another level compared to other players. One of the best interviews I’ve seen from an NBA player and maybe the only interview that I watched until the end without getting bored of hearing just generic things.

I don't even know what to say lol. The NBA IS ON FIRE THIS SEASON.

Such a stand up guy and class act...Taking time to acknowledge a player from another sport is a very respectful and classy move. to ANYONE that says we gave up too much for DM in that trade has to feel a lil bit different now eating humble pie. IN LESS THAN A YEAR HES DOIN THING LeBron HAS NEVER

[therealdealjc]

He was one of my favorite guys coming into the league when he was drafted. Very resilient and humble guy. He's really a walking bucket and I really hope all success comes his way.

i think Kevin Love should join the Cavs staff maybe as a developmental coach or some type of assistant when he retires. He has what it takes i think he would excel in a role like that

[zackkazco]

i love how so thorough he is in his answers to let us fans inside the game. most players just give short answers in a bill belicheck monotone boring style with as little words as possible

[daryldeephillips]

Humble young man....he will be a CHAMPION 🏆 real soon 🔜😉#71Mambamentality

Mavs and Cavs are two really strong dark horse teams. Mitchell and Luka are killing it.

[zackkkk]

Respect for this man how he mentions Damar Hamlin is in his prayers💪💪

I just love this guy, humble and, demonstrates a lot of class! The way he articulates and, with such ease - nice work mom (and dad). I'm a Warriors fan, however I have a favourite player on just about every team. Loved him from the moment he set foot on the NBA court (his pressers also caught my attention), he had been my fave in Utah and now my fave with the Cavs. Congrats, Spida!!!
