The Cleveland Cavaliers may be currently competing for an NBA championship in the 2025 NBA Playoffs, but when they aren't busy with that, they're fighting dragons...?

Well, at least six-time All Star Donovan Mitchell is in a new campaign that sees  him at the forefront in a promo for the upcoming film "How to Train Your Dragon," which is slated to hit theaters on June 13. In it, Mitchell fights off the different fire-breathing dragon characters, while simultaneously trying to pretend as if the fire they've launched onto him isn't bothersome. Sure...whatever you say Donovan.

As far as "How to Train Your Dragon" goes, the film is directed by Dean DeBlois, and is centered around a Viking boy named Hiccup, who defies centuries of tradition by befriending a dragon named Toothless. A problem, however, emerges when an ancient threat emerges that endangers both species, which means that Hiccup's friendship with Toothless will become the key to forging a new future.
