NBA For his interview with Donovan Mitchell
La dialectical ‘fight’ between Shaquille O’Neal y Donovan MitchelHe has reached the political stage of the United States. A Utah politician has issued a resolution trying to kill Shaq’s image, from the sports plane to the musical or cinematographic. And although it sounds funny, this is not a joke.
The woman behind this resolution is the Republican Kera Birkeland, the sponsor of the HR3 proposal, better known as ‘Resolution to Honor Donovan Mitchell over Shaquille O’Neal’.
The text is written, according to TMZ Sports, “to exemplify Donovan Mitchell’s services to the Utah Jazz and the Utah community and suggests considerations for declaring ‘Spida’ the official arachnid of the state.”
But behind it he hides a gigantic mallet with which he wants to poke Shaq for his infamous post-game interview with the Jazz player in which he told him that “I didn’t have what it takes to get to the next level“.
Mitchell handled the situation well live and Shaq later said that this was a motivational message to the player. but O’Neal won a good number of critics including players like LeBron James or Kevin Durant. And now, politics enters the stage.
Although the resolution is long, these are some of the highlights:
“… In Utah, we support our players when they face awkward abuse during post-game interviews disguised as cheer talk …”.
And the attack begins: “WHEREAS, Shaquille O’Neal’s (Shaq) claim on January 21, 2021, that Utah Jazz All-Star Donovan Mitchell Jr. (Donovan) doesn’t have what it takes to get to the next level is even less accurate than his 50.4% free throw percentage in the playoffss (slightly worse than Donovan’s 88.1%) … “.
“HOW MUCH, the Jazz eliminated Shaq and the Los Angeles Lakers from the playoffs in 1997 (4-1) and 1998 (4-0) … “.
“Not to mention 2000, 2001, 2002 or 2006, the years in which Kobe Bryant’s Los Angeles Lakers and Dwayne Wade’s Miami Heat they won championships for Shaq. “
Having reviewed the sporting aspect, the resolution focuses on Shaq’s other activities: “Kazaam has a 5% rating on Rotten Tomatoes …, and what about the failure of his video game, Shaq Fu “, 1990”.
And then he focuses on a comparison between the two: “Although the ‘ability’ of Shaq was to be bigger than everyone else, Donovan has been progressively successful thanks to his talent, dedication and constant effort. “
The Utah policy resolution also outlines the Mitchell’s charitable contributions to the people of Utah: “Donovan has provided backpacks, school supplies, and most importantly, his time to Utah students.”
According to the information, TMZ itself spoke with Councilor Birkeland and confirmed that the resolution is 100% real He added, “I can tell you a lot of people in our state were disheartened by the fact that even at the NBA level you can still be marginalized. This is all a battle cry that all athletes in our state should stand behind.”
