The way DeMar speaks on managing his mental health and the realities of blocking out the traumas of your childhood is powerful. More life to this brother
One underrated aspect of DeMar’s skillset is his foul-drawing and FT making. Absolutely elite in both categories. The Kings have never had someone who can reliably add points at the line, and DeMar is exactly that.
@t-raw4316 Obviously cuz you brought up the Kawhi trade, you make it seem like LeBron not being there wasn't a big factor. And you used that trade as a way to validate your "point". If you don't like demar then just say it, don't hide behind narratives omitting facts.
@@goodiegoodiegumdropsLeBron was hurt that year and it was his first on the lakers and Durant got hurt that finale . Kawhi would have done the same as Derozan had In Toronto
0 controversy smh if only the media would investigate this lying ass mf they would find so much boiling tea on his ass... Promoting mental health really been saving his ass fs smfh
@@Jecko157 the fact DeMar avoids controversy by faking to be someone he's not is disgusting behavior. Can't wait for the tell all book to come out... ⏳
@@Angelabarbosadominguez-it4fh rn everybody loves him BEEN loving him esp. since he started this whole mental health thing but when the tell all comes out about how fake this man really is it will be a sad day for all DeRozan sexuals out there trust...
Different kind of effect. I think Kobe showed how much you can achieve with hard work and dedication. Demar has started to show how important it is to be mindful and genuine whilst you do it.
This is how you get people to hate on demar saying nonsense like this. Like why even say some bs like that?? Wtf 😂 you understand Kobe “mamba mentality” spreads across different sports across the world? Stop it man
tuff to see pg and derozan getting older & older, we have to rlly appreciate these players now because we will miss them when they're gone😢, good luck demar loved u here with our bulls🖤
@@Jordanbiggs1473 never said that my brother i just said they're getting older so we should rlly appreciate them more & more but i can see where u coming from
@@Jordanbiggs1473brother he's talking about basketball years not regular life years. Once you're 30+ in the league you're on the decline with a few exceptions like LeBron. It's common sense man. PG and DeMar both been in the league hella long. 35 years old in the league translates to about 3-5 years left to go. That ain't a long time man.
Say man Derozen is the truth. Great speaker and authentic. I need at least 6 copies for the men in my circle. I am in grad school for psychotherapy, and I get his message. When I went through, it was a rough time for my wife and I. The reality is no one will be there as you need but God!! Your wife or help may love you, but you need to be able to love yourself. If you know you know! He will get you through.
I think the Drew should go in this direction. Get other major cities to have their own Drew Leagues and the champs from those leagues play for the summer title for bragging rights and and a grand prize. Seattle, Chicago, LA, and ATL or any other city who think they have a city and the players to have a summer league. It would be great if any players could get their city to the point of have a competitive league.
@@Vichinsky-ox8px -- Hopefully, it would be mostly people from the areas. At least the team leaders or captains putting the team together should be from the areas. Everyone knows the Seattle summer leagues are run by Jamal Crawford. People know Harden and DeRozan playing at the Drew are from LA. Maybe people don't want to be hard stuck to only getting players from that city. I'm sure the ballers could figure out something that works for them. The way it is now we all just have to accept the LA ballers are the best and we have no way to prove them wrong.
Demar was always one of my favorite players to watch just cuz of how he approached the game. It’s been nice to see this other side of em. Keep going champ 💯
DeMar and PG are two of those amazing players who don't get the recognition they deserve, in the sense that even being popular and loved by the fans, the "specialized press" see them as "only stars" and not "superstars". I think is more a matter of timing and where they have played, that is, playing with other superstars who may have had s more prominent role as scores, in a league that pays too much attention to only that aspect of the game. Both of them can affect the game in various different ways though, and are the type of players you need in a championship team, I can only hope they get their chip before retirement
I think it's amazing the way DeMar DeRozan is using his platform to highlight mental health and discuss his own struggles. It's great leadership and he's brave to be that vulnerable when under such a spotlight as an NBA player. I really enjoyed his honesty and openness, I'm excited to read his book.
So much competition though! OKC, Wolves, Mavs, Denver at the top, and the tier below is still tough like Golden State, Clippers, Suns, Pelicans, Lakers. The West is stacked. They will be the 5th seed in the west behind OKC, MN, Dallas, and Denver.
@@OP_-pk9hm kings had a winning record against min and split with dallas. they played down to the bad teams but played up to higher comp. adding demar we win most of our close games especially the games we straight up collapsed in the 4th. kings regular szn record last year isn’t indicative of their talent, also if keegan breaks out top 4 in the west is not out of the picture at all
@@javya699 you forget that those top teams got better as well. Dallas added Klay, Minnesota is getting better with experience, OKC added Caruso. I still don’t have them better than Denver. Top 5 at best like I said. Winning records in the regular season don’t matter
Yea that’s two teams in a row Spurs, Bulls that didn’t really utilize or appreciate Derozan. Kinda similar to Harden. Wish he came to the Clippers to win a ring together
Amazing pod Paul George way to have DeMar DeRozan as a guest again and shout-out to him being on the Sacramento Kings there just dope in intriguing to see.🏀💯
Right there. I like what you said that it is bigger than just one person. Sharing your incite does help a lot of folks who maybe don't have resources to manage or deal with trauma. Thanks for playing with my Spurs. I know you were not happy with that arrangement and for good reason that trade blind sighted you but we love you and happy for the time we had to get to know you.
I remember pre covid driving from fresno to Disneyland . Seen demar at Disney with all his family. Made the trip worth it. Respected his space didn’t want to fan boy it. Dude was having a good time watching his kids all happy.
S/o to you i plan on getting into socccer since i just had my first shes just turning 1 monh but i want to learn because its something i want her to play
Demar is literally the best dude like ever. Super genuine and real. Love his game and love that he dosent change his game for today's game. He a real one and still will be my favourite player besides Kobe🙏🙏
Watching the rest now and I have to say, great, great questions asked! Interesting to hear about their moving experience as NBA players. I'll def be picking up Demar's book too
Tsss love you guys man. Demar I’m definitely buying your book! P your my cousins favorite player so I’ll see you this year in Philly! Big ups be safe enjoy yourselves!
Fox don't fuck with the limelight like that. That's why he's one of my fav players. He don't get involved with the social media bullshit which is probably why he's so underrated
@t-raw4316 you make me want to tell my kids that was Demar Derozan one year with braids then he went to the spurs and Kawhi retired cause he don’t play no more.
@t-raw4316 Bros a Robot he was groomed for greatness by them Euros 😭 Nick Nurse is Greg Pop they’re the same person t-raw4316 your tyler perry yall the same person.
Big congrats and prayers. People expect because your life seems so happy you're not supposed to have bad days. I can be on top of the world one minute and depression will creep in for no reason. Salute to your for stepping up.
1:03:00 buddy they talking about is Sir’Dominic Pointer. he was legit blocking everything 🫡 the video title is Paul George, Patrick Beverley, Pascal Siakam & MORE Compete at Rico Hines Runs
PG, you guys are one of the best player podcast because your team does it on set. Wouldnt be the same digitally. Hopefully the quality still says the same
"Mindfulness" is a good word to describe the process at 19:45-22:00. Super helpful for most people struggling with mental health issues, stressful events, mental illness, etc.
That Keon Ellis emergence is gonna help tf outta their defense too. The more he played the more their defensive ranking rose. End of year they were a 4th ranked defense. Watch with him as a starter from opening game their defense is gonna put the clamps.
Thank you DeMar for sharing your story. Congratulations with your book. I can tell you now that you will be helping so many people who have watched you on the court and for those of us who are going through it. I love these types of conversations. Keep having these types of conversations PG. The Election is coming and your platform is perfect simply to ask your listeners who are of voting age to Register if they are not registered and Vote. It’s the difference between Keeping our Rights and Losing Them.
So excited he’s come to sac 💜 always been a big derozan fan. Glad to get to enjoy him for a few years! I can’t wait to see the knowledge Keegan will get and fox will get from derozan. I think Keegan is going to benefit the most
I wish you both the best on your new teams. I've got to say that Bulls team from 2 seasons back was real until Lonzo, AC and others went down. There was some real chemistry and talent there. That is the team that could have been and should have been. Looking forward to next month. I'm an NBA fan and a free agent for favorite team. I just love the game.

You forget he and the rest of the east had to deal with lebron for almost a decade.
@t-raw4316this is doesnt mean he isnt good at certain skills. Just because there is better players in the league doesnt mean that Demar is bad.

Kobe is much more intense and outwardly. Lot of Philly energy in Kobe
yeah nah

@@StayTru101 not a reason for him to lie in it when people praise him for being honest n transparent smh

Always great having Demar on here. As someone from Toronto we always want to see him win
He really wants to light the beam lol we’re ready for him 💜
Can't wait to see this dude on the Kings.
Gonna miss Deebo in Chicago. Wishing him the best out West! I love his way of articulating things and his fashion sense
Him talking about the respect he has for wizards Jordan and Alex English explains so much about his game. My Kings are lucky to have you.
Chicago is going to miss this man. Wish we figured out how to keep him. But he deserves a WAY better team.
Yea that’s two teams in a row Spurs, Bulls that didn’t really utilize or appreciate Derozan. Kinda similar to Harden. Wish he came to the Clippers to win a ring together
p not creasing them forces 🤣💯
DeMar and P giving the nod to Casper Ware sold this conversation for me.
killed it in the NBL in Australia so underrated
My favorite Raptor of all time. DeMar's old man playing style is so controlled and steady and the midranje jumper is the cleanest in the league.
Amazing pod Paul George way to have DeMar DeRozan as a guest again and shout-out to him being on the Sacramento Kings there just dope in intriguing to see.🏀💯
God blesss y’all just made my work day fly by 🙏🏼
I really hope he finds a lot of success on the Kings. He should fit like a glove on that team🔥
