Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star Donovan Mitchell is openly expressing his support for the New York Mets, especially as MLB rumors about Juan Soto’s free agency swirl. As a devoted Mets fan, Mitchell has been actively engaging with the baseball team’s developments on social media. Recently, he voiced his excitement and disbelief regarding Soto’s potential signing with a tweet that read, “This Soto stuff is getting outta hand… no way that’s real.” Looking ahead, many fans, including Mitchell, are eager to see where Soto will land in the upcoming season.
In basketball, Mitchell led the Cavaliers to a notable victory over the Boston Celtics, winning 115-111. The Cavs matched the Celtics’ 17 three-pointers but achieved a higher shooting percentage—47.2% compared to the Celtics’ 34.7%. This victory marked the Cavaliers as 17-0 when they shoot over 35% from beyond the arc, sparking a discussion about their reliance on three-point shooting. During a press conference, Mitchell posed a thought-provoking question regarding this strategy: “Would you ask Boston that question?” which elicited a mixed response regarding the viability of the Cavs’ approach.
The Cavaliers are currently leading the NBA with a three-point shooting percentage of 40.5% and boast the best regular-season record at 20-3. Their effective scoring from long-range is reshaping expectations, and many see them as a potential three-point shooting powerhouse for the future.
This combination of Mitchell’s enthusiasm for baseball and his leadership on the basketball court illustrates a promising season ahead for both the Cavaliers and the Mets. Fans can look forward to an exciting journey as both teams aim for success in their respective sports.
As a parting thought, the lively interplay between sports fandom and athletic performance underscores the importance of community and support in both baseball and basketball. Mitchell’s dual passion serves to remind fans that regardless of the sport, the thrill of competition and the love for a team can unite and uplift communities.
