Live broadcast, December 20 news recently, Cavaliers star Mitchell received an exclusive interview with famous Marc J. Spears.
Reporter asked: in just five seasons in Salt Lake City, you also ranked eighth in the jazz young pioneer team history scoring list. Do you think the Jazz team may retire your jersey?
Mitchell said he thought it was not enough. He said, “I have high requirements for myself. Now, others may think it should be possible to do so. If that thing (retired jersey) happens, I will be very happy, always grateful and blessed. But I don’t think I have done enough in five years, so I can’t have my jersey juxtaposed with celebrities such as Carl and Stockton.”
He stressed: “But in my career, I still have a long way to go and continue to get better.”
In this year’s offseason, jazz decided to rebuild and Mitchell was sent to the Knight. This season, Mitchell averaged 29.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 4.6 assists.
