Jazz star Donovan Mitchell gives a hilarious 4-word reaction to meeting Ricky Rubio once again after their clash against the Cavs.
After the Jazz's triumphant and close 109-108 stand against the Cavs, Rubio's former teammates took some time after the game to show love, including Mitchell's hilarious comment on his Instagram story.

It seems that this inside joke is centered around Rubio's physical appearance, sporting long hair and a thick beard—similar to Jesus Christ's appearance. The post-game reunion somehow shows the kind of bond this group went through in the past, especially during Mitchell's rookie year, as they defeated a heavily favored and talented Oklahoma City Thunder team. That team consisted of future Hall-of-Famers, Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony, and Paul George. Still, the hungry Jazz managed to win the series in six games.
With Rubio showcasing a good performance this year, who knows? Maybe the Jazz can reunite with the Spanish pass-first point guard. But for now, the Jazz are currently boasting a 16-7 win-loss record, placing third among the adamant Western Conference. Apart from that, Rudy Gobert and Mitchell are contributing tremendous impact for the team, with the former leading the league in rebounds and the latter averaging a bit over 24 points a game.
Rubio, who once averaged over 12 points and six assists for the Jazz, is posting near-identical stats for the Cavs this season. Regardless of what the future may be, no one can deny Rubio's tremendous experience and bond with the Jazz.
