As if I needed another reason to love Mitch. Glad he could be there for his coach. What an amazing gesture by the future DPOY.

this guy is so louisiana it hurts lol. what a sweet man.
think about Mitch’s situation as a millionaire athlete in NYC… he invites this dude to live with him just so he’s not lonely after his wife dies. that’s incredibly generous and kind.

Mitch is just a different soul

I’m glad they highlighted this bc I had no idea about this story. Keep being great in every facet of life, Mitch. It’s honestly inspiring what this dude has done to this point and he’s still very young.

Mitch adopting an old man is maybe the most heart warming story I’ve heard this year.

That Big Mitch hat is pretty clean
velocissimo
Somehow still the most underrated center in the league

Living with Mitch will definitely keep the coach in good spirits, MRob is funny as hell, coach is probably amused all the time.

Someone called this the reverse blind side on r/NBA lmao.

Can we get on Rebecca for not offering the man her condolences – I mean we were all taken aback while it ran live but you’d think someone used to being on tv would be more on her toes about it. Whether or not she cared is besides the point.

These are the kinds of values that we fans should applaud and look to cultivate with the rest of our org. Sports much like life is an opportunity to showcase what you’re made of and Robinson is the embodiment of good natured, hard working character
