The Cleveland Cavaliers just defeated the Chicago Bulls in a hard-fought battle for four quarters plus overtime. The game seemed almost over but Donovan Mitchell turned things around in the final seconds of the game to force it into overtime. Mitchell by far had the best performance of his career, going for a career-high performance. But teammate Kevin Love?s comments on Mitchell?s performance led to some fans getting enraged.
Donovan Mitchell broke Kyrie Irving’s and LeBron James’ records to become the player to score the most points in a single game in Cavaliers’ history. ?Spida? went off for a 71-point performance for the night.

Kevin Love, who is currently playing alongside Donovan Mitchell commented after the game, ?In my 15 years, that?s the best performance I?ve ever seen.? From Love?s perspective, he was just giving props to his teammate.
But fans on the other hand got enraged and went onto social media to remind him who he had played alongside before Mitchell came along. Kevin Love did share the court with ?The King,? LeBron James, and also won an NBA championship together.
So fans felt it was just right to remind him of his past. One fan tweeted, ?Old man clearly forgetting sh*t. Sad.?

Another fan commented, ?Fool saw LeBron carrying him in the NBA finals down 1-3 against the best team ever and is saying this. He either has recent event bias or is going just specifically off points.?

Fans showed no mercy to Love as they reminded him of the time he had played alongside LeBron James and also Kyrie Irving.
Is LeBron James the greatest Cavalier?
Donovan Mitchell surely set the record for most points in a game by a Cavaliers player. But is that enough to make an argument for him being the best Cavs player? That too of all time??LeBron James set multiple franchise records during his time in Cleveland. James ended the 54-year-long championship drought for the city of Cleveland back in 2016.?
