Here's a fact about Cleveland Cavaliers superstar Donovan Mitchell: In his day-to-day life, he wears glasses.
Here's another fact: During NBA games, Mitchell doesn't wear his glasses or contacts.
Wait, what?
That's what Mitchell shared on a recent conversation on the Kelce brothers' New Heights podcast.
Travis, Jason and Donovan were reflected on Mitchell's 71-point game for Cleveland. The brothers were in awe for a moment when they realized Mitchell only had 16 at the half en route to 71.

But their awe grew when Mitchell made his admission.
Jason asked what was pretty much a shoo-in question given that Mitchell was sitting on the screen across from them wearing glasses.
"Do you wear contacts out there?" Jason asked.
"No," Mitchell said.
"So you're just out there with blurry a— vision shooting 3s?" Jason said.
"You're dropping 71 with blurry vision," Travis added. "This guy's crazy, man. We gotta get this guy some Lasik, f—."
"This dude's shooting 3s while he's buffering," Jason finished.
Amazing podcast segment. No notes.
Mitchell has been a perfect fit with the Cavs, he's got his long-term deal, and now Cleveland is heading to the playoffs as the Eastern Conference's No. 1 seed.
His vision is clear on this: The only thing that matters is an NBA championship. And with Mitchell, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen and more at the peak of their powers, the Cavs have a much-better-than-blurry chance.
