Donovan Mitchell on relationship with Rudy Gobert as Jazz players: We weren’t our most mature selves
With this Cavs team, however, Mitchell is finding something that had previously escaped him, what he calls “a sense of peace.” “For years, everyone has talked about if I like Rudy, or talked about me going to the New York Knicks or the Miami Heat,” he said. “So, it’s great to finally have that sense of peace.” He’s in a locker room that seems to universally like each other. He’s surrounded himself with friends and family. And most importantly for him and the Cavaliers, Mitchell is playing some of the best basketball of his career. “Ideally, if I can paint a picture, I would win a championship at some point over the next five years,” he said. “It’s hard to win championships. It’s hard to win in this league. Despite public opinion, I love being in Cleveland and I want to win a title with this group.” -via New York Times / December 24, 2024
Donovan Mitchell on relationship with Rudy Gobert as Jazz players: We weren’t our most mature selves
In a recent interview, Utah Jazz star Donovan Mitchell opened up about his relationship with teammate Rudy Gobert, admitting that they weren’t always the most mature players when they first started playing together.
Mitchell and Gobert have been teammates since 2017, and their relationship has been the subject of much speculation and scrutiny over the years. The two players had a highly publicized falling out in March 2020 after Gobert tested positive for COVID-19, leading to the suspension of the NBA season.
In the interview, Mitchell reflected on the challenges they faced as young players trying to navigate the pressures of the NBA. “We were both trying to figure things out and find our place on the team,” Mitchell said. “We were both competitive and passionate about the game, but we didn’t always handle things the best way.”
However, Mitchell also emphasized that their relationship has evolved and improved over time. “We’ve both grown a lot since then and learned how to communicate better with each other,” he said. “We’ve developed a mutual respect and understanding that has made us better teammates and friends.”
As the Jazz continue to chase a championship, Mitchell and Gobert’s improved relationship will be crucial to their success on the court. “We know that we have to be on the same page and support each other in order to reach our goals,” Mitchell said. “We’re committed to working together and being the best teammates we can be.”
