Spida Mitchell ROASTS Knicks Star! Yankees-Mets Beef EXPLODES!
Colaboradores
The battle for New York isn't just on the basketball court – it's on the baseball diamond too! Cleveland Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell, a die-hard New York Mets fan, recently clowned New York Knicks guard Josh Hart over a bold claim Hart made during the Subway Series. Hart, a Yankees supporter, declared that New York is a "Yankees city."
Mitchell, whose father has a long history with the Mets organization, wasn't having it. He retweeted Hart's statement with a simple, yet brutal, response: "Saying this down 6 is funny 😂 #LFGM"
The context? The Mets were dominating the Yankees, ultimately winning the game 12-6. Ouch! Brandon Nimmo's grand slam in the first inning set the tone, and Pete Alonso had a monster game with two home runs and five RBIs. Yankees starter Carlos Rodon struggled mightily, giving up six earned runs in five innings.
Hart's connection to the Yankees comes through his great-grand-uncle, Elston Howard, a Yankees legend and the first African American player to wear pinstripes. However, Mitchell's allegiance lies with the Mets, thanks to his father's long-standing role within the organization.
This playful jab highlights the intense rivalry between the two New York baseball teams and the passion that fans – even NBA stars – have for their squads. While Hart might regret his timing, Mitchell is clearly enjoying the Mets' early success in the Subway Series.
Who REALLY owns New York?
The debate rages on. The Mets and Yankees have one more game scheduled this season. Will the Yankees redeem themselves, or will the Mets continue their dominance and give Mitchell even more reason to gloat?
Key Takeaways:
- Donovan Mitchell trolled Josh Hart over a Yankees claim.
- The Mets defeated the Yankees 12-6.
- The Subway Series rivalry extends beyond the field, even involving NBA players.
