Donovan Mitchell’s Patented Move: A Masterclass in Footwork!

 


When you talk about elite scorers in the NBA, Donovan Mitchell is always at the top of the list. In a recent clash against the Philadelphia 76ers, the Cleveland Cavaliers star once again showed why his footwork is among the best in the league.


Breaking Down the Play

The action starts with Mitchell facing off against Quentin Grimes. As the shot clock winds down to seven seconds [00:04], Mitchell remains composed. He initiates a "rip-through" move, looking for an opening in the defense [00:00].                                                                                              The Patented High Gather

What happens next is pure Mitchell magic. He executes his patented high gather [00:05], a move that allows him to shield the ball while maintaining momentum. By stepping through the defense with incredible balance, he navigates the crowded paint and manages to get the layup to fall despite the contact [00:08].                                                                                                                  Why It’s Unstoppable:

Elite Body Control: Mitchell’s ability to change direction mid-air and adjust his finish is second to none [00:06].


High Basketball IQ: Recognizing the dwindling shot clock, he didn't settle for a jumper but attacked the rim where he’s most dangerous [00:04].


Strength and Finesse: This play is a perfect blend of power to get to the spot and finesse to finish off the glass [00:07].                                                      Watch the full highlight
