Donovan Mitchell has felt a strong sense of belonging with the Cavaliers. This season has been remarkable, with the team notching 64 victories—marking the second-best record in the franchise’s history—leading to unprecedented expectations.
The Cavaliers’ journey featuring Mitchell is highlighted in Episode 5 of “Pass The Rock Season 3.” This original series from NBA Entertainment gives fans unprecedented access to the lives of the game’s emerging stars, showcasing both their on-court performances and off-court pursuits.
Mitchell, who developed his passion for basketball as a child, has always aimed to be remembered for one key trait: being a champion.
“It’s about more than just making it to the playoffs; it’s about making a run for the Finals and ultimately winning a championship. We need to go out there and claim it,” Mitchell expressed.
With his guidance, the Cavaliers are prepared to pursue that goal.
Cavaliers Head Coach Kenny Atkinson remarked, “When your leading player elevates those around him, that’s what defines a true superstar.”
While Mitchell recognizes his team’s historic achievements this season, he emphasizes the importance of maintaining consistency as they head into the playoffs.
“The key is to keep being this collective unit when playoff time arrives,” he stated.
The Cavaliers are set to kick off their second-round series on Sunday against the Indiana Pacers (Time TBD).
