This is the text of the bill:

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the state of Utah:

WHEREAS, the Utah Jazz are a beloved part of the Utah community and the National Basketball Association (NBA);

WHEREAS, in Utah, we support our players when they face awkward abuse during post-game interviews disguised as pep talks;

WHEREAS, the claim by Shaquille O'Neal (Shaq) on January 21, 2021, that Utah Jazz All-Star Donovan Mitchell Jr. (Donovan) doesn't have what it takes to get to the next level is even less accurate than his 50.4% playoff free-throw percentage (slightly worse than Donovan's 88.1%);

WHEREAS, the Jazz eliminated Shaq and the Los Angeles Lakers from the playoffs in 1997 (4-1) and 1998 (4-0);

WHEREAS, we are not talking about 2000, 2001, 2002, or 2006 right now, the years in which Kobe Bryant's Los Angeles Lakers and Dwayne Wade's Miami Heat won championships for Shaq;

WHEREAS, Kazaam has a 5% rating on rotten tomatoes;

WHEREAS, Shaq under-develops his hot takes almost as well as his 1990's "Shaq Fu" video game;

WHEREAS, Shaq correctly described Donovan as an elite scorer, given that in just his third NBA season during the 2020 playoffs, Donovan became the third player in NBA history to have at least two 50-point games in a single playoff series (joining Michael Jordan in his fourth season and Allen Iverson in his third season);

WHEREAS, on the same night that Shaq disparaged Donovan, Donovan made his 600th three-pointer earlier in his career than any other player in the history of the NBA;

WHEREAS, as of January 26, 2020, Donovan has drained 1995 field goals, 604 3-pointers, and 894 free-throws;

WHEREAS, Donovan Mitchell is more than just a scorer, having grabbed 982 rebounds, swatted 79 blocks, and picked 306 steals for the Jazz, as of January 26, 2020;

WHEREAS, it is hard to pull down rebounds when All-Star Rudy Gobert is on your team, grabbing more rebounds than anyone else in the league as a two-time defensive player of the year (more than Shaq's zero), one-time league leader in blocks (more than Shaq's zero), and four-time All-Defensive 1st Teamer (more than Shaq's zero);

WHEREAS, although Shaq's "skill" was being bigger than everyone else, Donovan has progressively succeeded through talent, dedication, and constant effort;

WHEREAS, the following immortal words, once spoken by Bill Walton, apply equally to Donovan, "He is a champion of basketball and of the human spirit as well";

WHEREAS, Donovan has provided backpacks, school supplies, and most importantly, his time, to Utah students;

WHEREAS, Donovan launched the SPIDACARES, a foundation to empower women following the example set by his mother and sister; and

WHEREAS, Donovan has consistently demonstrated his decency by freely and abundantly giving to local communities and charities while volunteering his time to help his fellow Utahns:

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the House of Representatives of the State of Utah recognizes the exemplary service of Donovan Mitchell Jr. to the Utah Jazz and to the people of the great state of Utah.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the House of Representatives consider making the "Spida" the official state arachnid.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED "Aight. That's it."
