Ricky Rubio captured the heart of Twitter for wearing the Adidas “Rookie” hoodie, which was made famous by Donovan Mitchell.

There's a non-zero chance that Ricky Rubio and Shia LeBeouf have been Parent Trapping the NBA all season. https://t.co/e99mpilGHh

How much did Ricky Rubio pay for that pair of jeans that look like the pair my gf just made me throw out after all these years?

Donovan Mitchell opened the game with five assists. Social media users said it appeared like Mitchell listened to Kobe Bryant’s recent advice.
2 assists for Donovan Mitchell to start the game. He may have listened to Kobe.
— Eric Woodyard (@E_Woodyard) May 3, 2018
The Jazz DID what Kobe had been talking on the tape. They had been leaving the paint wide open. Donovan got the ball to the big ... TWICE.

Donovan Mitchell looks like somebody 🤔

Joe Ingles caught fire in the first quarter, which got Twitter going.
Joe ingles has firmly replaced himself as the “ymca pro that randomly makes it into the nba” now that manu is hopefully retiring

I dare someone to convince me that Joe Ingles isn’t the best basketball player of all time ever.

Joe Ingles looks like somebody's daddy who plays pick up at the local YMCA, but looks are deceiving. Dude can play. #NBAPlayoffs #UTAatHOU
