The new NBA dunk champion had to beat Larry Nance, Jr., the son of the original champion, Leapin' Larry Nance (1984). But Donovan Mitchell has pedigree of his own, being the son of Mets Director of Player Relations Donovan Mitchell, Sr. [fimg=500:1f3ppkxh]http://www.mlb.com/assets/images/8/1/6/266673816/cuts/1600x900/cut.jpg[/fimg:1f3ppkxh] Here he is with his two favorite hoops mentors, Dunkin' David Wright and Jumpin' Josh Satin.

I couldn't find any active "Mets Beat" threads, but I found it interesting that Mitchell, Sr. was the Mets ringer on the diamond as they beat the press corps handily.
