SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah lawmakers are taking a stand to defend Jazz star Donovan Mitchell against critiques by Shaquille O’Neal.
They passed a playful resolution that calls out O’Neal for his poor free throw shooting during his playing days and makes fun of the “Kazaam” movie he starred in more than two decades ago.
O’Neal is a studio analyst on TNT and he upset Jazz fans when he said at halftime of a game last week that the 24-year-old Mitchell didn’t have what it takes to be a superstar. That led to an awkward postgame exchange between O’Neal and Mitchell.
