About this episode

92%ers welcome back to another episode of New Heights brought to you by our friends at Draft Kings! 

On today’s episode, we are joined by Cleveland Cavalier Donovan Mitchell! 

Donovan and the guys discuss everything from the Cavs being the #1 seed in the East, the Luka trade, Ja Morant’s celebrations, and more of our favorite NBA storylines headed into the playoffs. 

We also learn the backstory behind his time at Louisville with Lamar Jackson, his record-setting 71-point game against the Bulls, and what it was like to attend “The Decision” as a kid. 

We also Blind Rank the greatest NBA throwback jersey of all time, debate how many holes are in a basketball hoop, figure out how much he’d score in the 70s, Donovan’s all-time starting five, and so much more.
