Kenny Atkinson's demand captivates a glory-thirsty Donovan Mitchell

Bold decision by the management of Cleveland Cavaliers to part ways with Bickerstaff, the man who had brought significant improvement to the franchise, deeming him unfit to take the one big step towards glory. The signing of Kenny Atkinson raised some doubts due to his long absence as a head coach, but his connection with the players is complete.

A clear example of this is both the attitude and words of Donovan Mitchell. The talented shooting guard seemed to arrive at the Cleveland Cavaliers setup reluctantly, ready to go through the remaining year of his contract before seeking an exit. However, he realized that he had a chance to do something significant with the Ohio team and ended up being captivated by the project. What he didn't expect was such a genuine rapport with the new coach.

"He's very demanding. During one of the games' halftime breaks, when we were losing, he yelled at us and threw a shoe into the showers. He woke us up. That's what a team needs; we are already surrounded by people who tell us how good we are. It's about hard work and not allowing complacency," stated the guard of a Cleveland Cavaliers team that remains undefeated and can vie for the championship under the leadership of a Kenny Atkinson who has seized his moment.
