Dunk Contest
If Mitchell hadn’t already put himself on the NBA map, the Slam Dunk Contest did the job.
After not initially getting an invite to compete in All-Star weekend’s most popular event, Mitchell put the dunking world on notice.
Here are a few memories from Donovan’s dunk contest victory…
"Wait till we see that one in Slow Mo!"

Which dunk was your favorite?
That night had to be as fun for Mitchell as it was for Jazz fans. But his high-flying antics didn’t stop after All-Star weekend; Mitchell just kept dunking… and dunking… and dunking. Including this impossible-to-forget moment…
