Utah Jazz shooting guard Donovan Mitchell had a few laughs at Boston Celtics All-Star swingman Jayson Tatum’s expense on Twitter Monday morning.
The duo, who played together over the summer as members of Team USA in the 2019 FIBA World Cup, have been friendly with each other since.
Quarantined like the rest of us, social media has not only been a means for players to stay in touch with their fans, but also each other.
To that end, Twitter served a medium for Mitchell to roast his former World Cup teammate for a post about his relatively recent facial hair, which the Duke product was making comments about.
Days before the beard look totally different lol https://t.co/dalGVW39Z0

Retweeting a video of his play in high school featuring a beardless, moustacheless Tatum within, the St. Louis native tweeted, “Days before the beard look totally different lol.”
This low-hanging fruit was too easy for Mitchell, who replied “Mannn like 4 months ago was ‘days before the beard.'”
However, the Jazz guard probably should have thought through his zinger, as his own beard is far from being the sort to shield one from exactly this kind of jest; “it’s always ones with no beard who got sum to say,” quipped Tatum in return.
