NBA legend LeBron James took a moment to publicly recognize and celebrate Donovan Mitchell’s latest career milestone: being named to the All-NBA First Team for the first time.
Mitchell, who has been a consistent force for the Cleveland Cavaliers this season, delivered one of the most dominant performances of his career, averaging 27.9 points, 6.3 assists, and 4.5 rebounds per game. His leadership, explosive scoring ability, and commitment to both ends of the court earned him the well-deserved recognition among the league’s elite.
Shortly after the announcement, LeBron—who himself has made a record number of All-NBA appearances—shared a heartfelt message for Mitchell on social media:
“Well earned, Don! Proud of the work you put in. Keep leading, keep inspiring. First Team vibes!”
The message, though brief, spoke volumes. Coming from one of the greatest players in NBA history and a former Cavalier who brought a championship to Cleveland in 2016, LeBron’s words carry extra weight for Mitchell, who has embraced the responsibility of being the franchise’s cornerstone.
Fans and analysts alike praised LeBron’s gesture, noting how the 20-year veteran continues to uplift the next generation of stars. Mitchell responded with humility, reposting the message with the caption:
“Much love OG. Big respect always.”
This mutual respect between the two stars underscores a broader narrative in the NBA today—one where legacies are built not only on the court but through mentorship, acknowledgment, and community.
With this latest achievement, Donovan Mitchell joins the ranks of the league’s best, and with the endorsement of a living legend like LeBron James, his impact on the game is only just beginning.
