Mitchell's definitely near the bottom of the totem pole of superstars when it comes to favoritism/marketability, which a lot of it has to do with him playing in Utah. I mean he got disrespected last year in the all-star draft along with Gobert although they had the best team in the NBA. Best offensive player on the #1 offense in the league. Superstar is probably accurate although it varies by fan interpretation.
The dunk contest part is funny though, especially when it's the judges who pick the winner; I remember on the old board I posted a pic with Mitchell holding the trophy and got downvoted to oblivion. Good times.
