The Celevand Cavaliers’ star man Donovan Mitchell has been making the headlines lately after attending Michael Rubin‘s 4th of July “White Party.” Mitchell is said to be a big fan of the Marvel movie, “Spiderman” and interestingly also has a nickname called, “Spida.” Notably, as per Mitchell, Spiderman was one of his favorite Marvel movies while growing up.

Not only that, Mitchell was even spotted hanging out with former Spiderman star Tobey Maguire at the White Party, raising questions about his relation to Spiderman and also breaking the Internet. In addition, Mitchell once opened up on his nickname to the NBA’s official media team when he was 19 years old, claiming his dad’s friend gave him the name.

I had long arms and I was quick to get a lot of steals…I didn’t think it would correlate to where I am now. He never called me by my first name and to this day, he still doesn’t. He’ll text me, ‘Spida, how ya doing?’ Spiderman was one of my favorites growing up and it just stuck with me. That’s where it all came from.
