Twitter reaction to Isaiah Mobley summer league MVP award and Cavs championship
Former USC Trojans star Isaiah Mobley is making headlines this summer with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavs finished off an undefeated 6-0 run at the Las Vegas NBA Summer League, and Mobley was a huge reason why.
The Cavs defeated the Houston Rockets on Monday night to take home the summer league title. Mobley was named the MVP after scoring 28 points with 11 rebounds in the final game.
The Cavs, in 2021, drafted Evan Mobley, who has become a defensive star in just a short time in the NBA. Now his brother, Isaiah, has exploded in a burst of brilliance and likely put himself on the map in hopes of sticking with an NBA roster. In his first pro season, he was mostly a G League player and wasn’t able to stay with the Cavs for very long. Earning more minutes in his second pro season is a key goal, but the first goal is simply staying with the big club instead of toiling in the G League for a majority of the fall and winter.
The reactions came pouring in on social media following Mobley’s huge night for Isaiah Mobley:

SUMMER CHAMPS
Cavs gonna have a deep bench. Isaiah Mobley, Sam Merrill, and Emoni Bates all look like NBA players to me.

RAW MATERIAL
Isaiah Mobley’s length alone makes him a serviceable member on many NBA teams. He’s an great offensive rebounder, and he has impressive body control for a player his size. His passing is comparable to Nikola Jokic at times, but his decision making needs work.
