“I Can’t Even Wrap My Head Around This”: Donovan Mitchell Becoming Second Player in History with “Wild” Stat Leaves NBA Fans in Disbelief

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Donovan Mitchell delivered a historic performance during the Monday night game against the Chicago Bulls that stunned the NBA world. The current NBA season has been surprising the fans with several monumental performances. When Luka Doncic impressed everyone with a record-breaking triple-double stunner, fans didn’t expect Mitchell to one-up it in a matter of days. The Cavaliers star’s performance took the fans on a trip down memory lane, as they were reminded of the historic 100 point-game by Wilt Chamberlain. However, NBA fans were stunned once again after this ridiculous stat from the Cavaliers star started circulation throughout the Internet.

Denver Nuggets selected Donovan Mitchell as the 13th overall pick of the 2017 NBA draft and later traded him to the Utah Jazz. He played for the Jazz for five seasons until the Cavaliers traded him for Collin Sexton before this season.

During the Monday night game against the Chicago Bulls, Donovan Mitchell barged into the record books as he actively contributed in a groundbreaking 99 points for the Cavaliers’ tally that night. Spida Mitchell scored a staggering 71 points, eight rebounds, and 11 assists to take his team to a 145-134 victory. In fact, the Cavs star is only behind the legend Wilt Chamberlain for most points created by a single player in a game.
