Mitchell Exchanges Jersey With Childhood Friend After Win Over GSW

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – After the Jazz beat the Golden State Warriors Donovan Mitchell exchanged jerseys with his childhood friend and Golden State forward Eric Paschall.

The Jazz beat the Warriors 122-108 in Oakland, but it was all smiles from Paschall after the game.

Both from New York, the two became friends playing amateur basketball before Mitchell went to Louisville for college basketball and Paschall went to Villanova.

“Can’t even count how many people doubted us and didn’t think we could be here, but here we are!” Mitchell said in a retweet of the video.
