Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell is having an MVP caliber season in his own right, but he remained humble when assessing some of his fellow competition for the NBA's most coveted individual award. During All-Star Weekend, Mitchell was asked about the MVP race, to which he took the opportunity to heap praise onto Nuggets center Nikola Jokic and 76ers star Joel Embiid, via Michael Scotto of USA TODAY Sports.
Mitchell didn't hesitate to describe Jokic's campaign in Denver as being "f---ing outrageous," while making sure to give a shoutout to Embiid for how he's handled the oftentimes unstable situation in Philadelphia.
As for his own MVP candidacy, Mitchell isn't counting himself out, but remains aware of the stiff competition.
