In the post-game press conference after a 111-102 win over the Brooklyn Nets, Mitchell was asked by SDNA about his thoughts on Antetokounmpo.

"Giannis is an incredible player," said Mitchell. "He's an MVP, a two-time MVP, champion... He does a lot of really good things and he is a tough match-up."

The "Spida" praised the "Greek Freak" for the latter's work ethic and effort to develop his game.

"At the end of the day, he works hard, puts in the time, and he definitely puts them on for a reason. He is one of the best players in our game," stated Mitchell.

Statistics would back Spida's remarks, as Antetokounmpo is averaging 31.3 points, 11.4 rebounds, and 5.8 assists on 60.9% field-goal shooting. For his part, Mitchell is averaging 27.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.7 assists per game.
