Donovan is the nicest, most humble, friendly and generous star in the NBA. I met him 3 years ago in a Verizon store where he was doing a signing, and he did 2 things that had me sold on him as a great person. 1. He signed a drawing I made of him when his agent was standing right next to him and told him not to sign anything that wasn’t a Verizon branded card of him that was being handed out, because I could have just sold it and made money off of him, but i have it framed in my room to this day. 2. He saw a man come into the store with a broken phone and just straight up bought him a new phone. I’ll be a fan of his forever for that
He's a real one! Great story! 👏
Dope🙏🏾
Amazing
Awesome story! Thanks for sharing.
this is my goat !
This man talking about generational wealth
Athletes today have learned a lot. Donovan carries himself well, articulates his words well, and understands the money he is making is for a temporary time, no matter how much he made
Very smart young man
Rs3 Well said! Amen!
well there's something called having a financial advisor and accountants hired to teach you and guide you on how your money will be well spent. they've got managers who negotiate their contracts and marketing members who help build their brand. they just workout and play ball.
@@maazqureshi7200 no i taught myself that
Everything is available to you on internet
That might have been what Donovan did. But that is no excuse as to why you or anyone else couldn't
sick username rs3 goated
@@MrKewlKhan thanks brodie
Spends only 9% of first mil on himself. Big ups to SpidaD
Cause he plays D
ya, that was my thought too, huge props to him for being so selfless
@@rebelliousgoat1557 What “D” means ?
@@anonymoussec5441 as in weiners.
@@sogekingnotusopp yes correct
D Mitch is the most humblest dude. This is by far the best "How I Spent My First Million". He legitimately only bought himself one thing and took care of his mother, sister and foundation. You don't here that often. I liked him as a player, now I respect him even more as a person.
And he didnt spend all of it. Its far less than a mill
He barely spent that 1st mill on himself. Much respect to him ✊🏾
Fr that’s crazy but he made sure his family was set that’s real💯
@@Unknownuser-v8o 💯
Cause he’s making hundreds of millions now lol
Well this is the first $1m he spent not earned. He’s probably put a tonne into investments for himself and stuff. He’s still spent very selflesssly
@@this9103 ya after like 4/5 years
One of the most unappreciated stars in the league never has missed the playoffs , was given the keys to the team his rookie year and even last year was the best player on the best record wise team in the league and he couldn’t even crack an All-NBA team they better start giving him the respect
Unappreciated? That multi verse are you living in 😂😂
Dude is hella underrated. Always a beast in the playoffs.
@@Curtis69213 Like no all nba 3rd team that is the definition of unappreciated tbh
@@mohh2516 that’s a regular season award and there are a lot of good point guards and shooting guards in the league. It’s tough to be on an All nba team
@@mohh2516 he was in a conference with a ton of good points, played on a team with the Defensive player of the year, sixth man of the year and played in only 53 games
Mitchell is more than wholesome..that supermax contract was worth for the hard work and *DEDICATION* for Spidey 🕸 🏀
You're wholesome too LeBeautiful!!
@Mirea facts
Ooh he is Smart🙌🏾
I heard the French call you “Le Virgin”
He didn’t get a supermax, he got the rookie max
Yoooo I wanna see how Ja Morant spent his first $1M
At least 250k was in jewelry I bet😂
@@Keiiluminati 300k on designer clothing 💀
@@glizzy5877 5 dollars for a fiver lesson on how to finish a dunk
Don’t cap he showed you 😂🐐🔥
Fr bro it will be an interesting video if they made it
You know he grew up a family guy, his family comes first before himself, good for your Donovan!
yea he is a family guy but didnt give his dad a dime 🤣 well they do say ladies first
El Soy peter griffin jajajajajajjajajaajaaa
@@thqi_gz1739 lmao he ain’t have a dad🤦🏾♂️
@@londonjennings9608 his dad is very present in his life lol
“Was supposed to be 205 but somebody didn’t make All-NBA, however that may have happened.”
Pretty much sums up how underrated the Jazz are. 😂
I dont get it, making all nba means more money?
@@Chocobohunter yeah it does because you've played better than/you just got more awards
@@Chocobohunter yes suh, a lot of stipulations could be added too depending on the negotiations. Kinda like how MPJ got the max extension but a lot of it is not guranteed unless he makes All NBA , scores x amount of points, becomes an all star
Rose rule
@@Chocobohunter it’s a requirement for the super max. First team all nba or MVP or DPOY I think
Mitchell is such a humble soul. Hearing about all the good he has done throughout the community in Utah and watching this, I’ll forever be a fan.
This man seem so humble and softspoken, but his game is 💯 BEASTLY.
300k on tuition!!? 🤨 that’s is absurd
What a genuine guy! Wow 🙏🏽🙌🏽
Don't follow NBA but I am a fan of him already. Spends 90k out of 1M for himself and give $250k to people in need. Take a bow brother! So inspirational
The only other nba 1st milli vid I watched was Tyler Hero’s..I must say compared to spida it’s night and day their priorities are so different lol
Same 😆
I did the same as well. 😂😂😂
Last vid I watched of the mill was typed hero and now this lol
Guy spends less than 10% of his first million on himself. You can tell what he's about. Respect.
Dude so Generous and humble
Man spends lest than 10% of his first million on himself.
Says: well I'm happy but at least I can give back and save a little on myself.
The man's humble most humble NBA star rn Donovan is very respectful and responsible.
One day I hope somebody gives this man something he likes the things he does for others before he does them for himself. It's crazy how he puts his whole family Infront of him then the community.
Give this man the respect he deserves
He up there with Kawhi and Giannis
Well that 250 for his foundation was for himself in a way.
@@TzUuup how it was for kids in need even if that is it’s selfless
@@HunchoVed bruh it's a tax write off. Yeah it's a good thing but we know that was money the government was going to take. That's why they all do ot
He didn’t spend on his dad lol
Very humble and very smart. The fact he took care of his family and his investments big respect
I love seeing how Donovan spent his first million more than seeing how Tyler Herro spent his. Much respect to Donovan for being a wholesome person :)
He wouldn't have got there if he binjed Japanese cartoons
@@layton6202 israel adesanya become an MMA star because he love rock lee
@@piusbutarbutar1782 he wasn't sitting around all day watching that show tho
@@layton6202 neither was he on TH-cam commenting about what other people do on their free time
@@CP-dr7qy did you just like your own comment
The state of Utah and the Jazz organization are blessed to have this man as a teammate and partner! What an awesome young man!
I’ve never seen Donovan speak outside of a post game and I gotta say this makes him seem like one of the most likable players in the league.
I am his fan for life after watching this video. The man knows what's most important in your life. God Bless Donovan and your loved ones!
Took care of others more than himself with his first million. Mad respect, for real. Definitely got higher after watching this vid.
Wanting to give back is something 90% of most people don't do! Respect.
I’m a Utahn and I could not be prouder to have him here. Surely he’s a tremendous player, but his care, outreach to others, and he’s an ambassador for good across the Utah and the nation. This is the first time in looking at these particular videos, I’m so proud of him!
This didnt age well
Please do more NBA players 🙏🏾
We’ve seen only 3 now I think
He is very smart. You can tell he is mad humble and also knows about the value of each dollar 💵
I couldn't focus with his glasses being crooked the whole time LOL
On me that was legit killing me 💀💀
🤢
Knew I'd find this comment hahaha
😂😂😂
That's funny. I didn't even notice.
Don is the man. I like how he plays the game and carries himself.
Building a foundation the first opportunity he had. That is amazing!
W Donovan He Always Caring Bout Other People Like His Family
Crazy the tuition is the most expensive, think about tech schools or community college and don’t go unless you have a real purpose or degree.
ikr like in england its around 50k in debt over 3 yrs but that was 300k!!! man tuition sucks
med school prolly
300k is insane for tuition
@@cliveo181 om you can go to 4-year universities here in Texas for under 10k a year if you live off campus or with your parents
Here in Germany university is for free man. It is crazy what you guys have to pay for that.
Spurs fan who lives in San Antonio but Donovan is my favorite player in the league. Such a great dude!
Well spoken & financially responsible as a young athlete with a max seal. Salute!✊🏾❤🖤💚
I adore this man's generosity, shrewdness and humility. Loved watching this!
This was very nice to watch. Very humble young man who definitely appreciates his blessings.
Love how he is so humble and takes care of his loved ones first. I see many athletes wasting money on jewellery and crap.
Facts
Well rounded person, continue to give back my brother
He's a franchise supermax player, been stud since his first year. Also, clearly a good head on his shoulders! When it's all said and done, he'll be a hall of famer!
when you first saw tyler herro spending his first 1 mill and Mitchell's 1 mill just jaw dropping.
Remember seeing Spida for very first time in Melbourne, Aus during the fiba exhibition game in shoot around. Johnnie Bryant was helping one on one. You and Tatum are best nba talent I have seen in person.
Respect to Donovan. His play in the court is amazing and he is just as amazing outside the court.
Mans bought one thing for himself, amazingly humble and wholesome so glad he came to the jazz hope he stays around 💙🎶
Happy to have this man in CLE! Go Spida and go Cavs!
He is an amazing and humble guy. He puts others before himself and he is so focused on his community. Respect Forever man
First mil? Bro got 150 of 'em to spend now. Got the bag 💰💼
Finally somebody else who taxes the contracts. I thought I was the only one.
well deserved
@@aka-invisible5666 yeah people see players get $200 mill supermax and don't realize they only get half of that which is still a lot
Donovan a very unselfish guy
Respect ✊
NBA players have come a long way to be this well spoken and financially literate on top of their incredible basketball talents
There were always guys like this, they just didn't get talked about. The focus was on the Antoine Walkers of the world.
Donovan is such a GREAT guy and player. Go Jazz!
Gotta be one of my favorite players in the league!
Super proud of this young man! He's truly dedicated to his craft and family.
wow! i love how he paid for his sister's tuition fees. he is gonna be a great family man .
Just set aside since the sister play lacrosse. Probably on an athletic scholarship too.
@@karlanthonymargate7362 that's what I thought as well
@@karlanthonymargate7362 i go to the same school she does, not much money in scholarships here outside of basketball lol
As a Jazz fan I am so happy that he is on my team. Such an amazing dude with a great head on his shoulders. We are lucky to have him here in Utah and my biggest hopes for any team that I am a fan of is that Donovan can win a title here and that he stays here for his entire career.
Smartest Athlete that has been in the show, respectively
*respectfully
Check out Austin Ekeler
Jalen Hurts
Humble dude…much respect for taking care of your family.
Utah loves you Don!
Dudes a good person and humble, plus a huge met fan showing dedication to the struggle lol.
About time NBA players get on this.
This man and this video totally made my day. I've seen him play and know he's a huge talent. He's also apparently a very savvy and giving person in his life.
I needed this one fasho 💯😩
His Mom and sisters must utterly adore this young man! I love his humbleness!
The wholesome level in this video is over *9000!!* D Mitch, u def gone see me in the league in 2 years. Remember my name *”Laji Saccoh”*
Family and their security...humble brotha
This is amazing man. Great to see athletes doing this. Waiting on artists to start doing this
Donavan makes me and many other Utahns proud to root for the jazz. So classy, humble, and has a mentality to not only carry his team on his back but, the entire state of utah!
300k for tution is insane
med school prolly
lol the real question is why is his sister wasting time in school anyway when she basically hit the lottery
@@jimbobfisher8904 she didn't hit nothing. He did.
@@jimbobfisher8904 What a sad leeching mentality you got
Donny is the coolest. Met him in Santa Monica at a signing a few years back and he was just as nice as he seems in the media.
it’s fascinating how some players have been playing since they were kids and other just happened to pick up Basketball later in high school
Imagine you decide to take a different sport more seriously later in life and next you know, your a pro
Man, he has a big heart for his community and his family for sure!
This guys is genuine man. And he's smart too. Good man.
that’s why his blessed and i hope in his second million he will bought something to his dad
:/
No one outside of Utah understands how much we love him here haha.
He's definitely supporting the economy and helping others than himself 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I already knew he is a guy down to earth but bro i swear that i am officially a hater of his haters cause you can't hate this man either on or off the court
He's the reason why I'm rooting for Jazz. 😤
Donovan is a true one.
My guy literally made 1 purchase for himself out of the first million.
He spent that million dollars the right way
Most underrated player in the game ya live to see him get respected‼️😤
Talk about having your head on straight, keep on keepin on D Mich
He's just wonderful. I'm rooting for you, Spida!
omg been waiting for this Donovan your my idol and i want to be just like you
Mans was raised right. Deserved that max contract.
Out of 1 million he spent 91% of it on his family and foundation, dude is humble. Still mad my Knicks passed on him and drafted Frank Ntilikina smh.
Different draft. We drafted Frank
@@jobinjoseph3574even worse smh lol
@@jobinjoseph3574 they were literally in the same draft class lol
@@gametimeclutch294 ikr! I was never sold on him. It’s funny because McBride is who we thought Frank was going to be
@@PeterParkerwon Knox and Donavan Mitchell were not in the same draft class. Knox was in the class with luck Trae and MPJ
300k for tuition?? This is a quality young man, credit to his family.
Bro these new generation of athletes are money smart. They are gonna do well well after their career is over.
Donovan Mitchell such a good guy props to him
Great role model and player 👏
Spida is so mature. He’s definitely a young person and already got so much maturity
Don spent 250k when he only got his first paycheck, RESPECT
Idk, when I see this type of guys, I go down to the comments and see how people talk about the person, i I saw that Donovan is such a good person and humble.
i've been following donovan since Louisville bro y'all have no idea he much this man worked. Always saw how he cared for his teammates doesn't surprise me that he care a lot about his family.
300k for college is insane just go to a cheaper one that is way too much.
Any college is way too much
med school prolly
doesn't mean she spent all of it, he said he just said aside that amount
Didnt expect this to be wholesome af! More blessing to you spida!
His character speaks for itself 💯
This man got a big heart mann. On his first million. More than 50% of all this money, he gived it to his family....wow! Respect!
finally they got an NBA player. got sick of these NFL players
😂😂😂stg
fr 💀 irrelevant
Eh their nfl videos are more interesting so🤷🏾♂️
@@kivngken crappies the capper of the year
@@reidb6327 just an opinion 🤷🏽
What a Man.! Very humble and selfless. 👏🏽
I respected him as a basketball player, but now I think he became one of my top 3 favorite NBA players. This guy has heart. Bless you for loving your family that hard. Praying for your turn to win the NBA Finals
Finally, an NBA player!
