Kinda feel bad for DeMar
I like how he still considers Kyle his best friend
TSwizzleRex Mixtapes kyle wasn’t the one who traded him
Tracy Sharp wasn’t they aren’t gonna win with DeMar it’s fact Kawhi was up on the market and Raptors took a chance why they’re making all these trades of one year player for a championship
TSwizzleRex Mixtapes
It’s implied when you said “still considers” Kyle Lowry a friend. Dude is basically saying, why wouldn’t he still consider him a friend...it’s not like he traded him.
TSwizzleRex Mixtapes for real bro 💯
TSwizzleRex Mixtapes u don’t get it do you huh
If Demar wasn't as good as he is, he would've never gotten traded for such a high caliber player. He's right about making the groundwork
Exactly you hit it right on the money
Demar is half the player kawhi is. Spurs only accepted the trade cos kawhi wanted to leave and he’s on his last year of his contract, which diminished his value
Spurs made a terrible trade. Raptors got Kawhi and Danny Green (who was good in the regular season) for Derozan and Poetl (who?).
@@MrWill1729 Getting a multi-time allstar who averages 25 isn't bad so i think you're selling demar short. He fits the spurs culture and was on an eastern conference team. Kawhi's expiring contract was one factor among many, including these.
@@Paulafan5 Poetl started many games at center for the spurs. He''s a nice developing player now. I'm a spurs fan and I've been fine with the trade the entire year. I'm happy raps got kawhi so they can compete in the finals against the warriors
love the respect that Toronto fans have for DeMar, it really is bigger than basketball
🙏🙏🙏
a lot of them don't tho
@@denfedehyneDK they're not real raptor fans if they don't. It's hard to find players who wanna stay in Canada but DeMar was loyal and wanted to be the king of Toronto and Canada as a whole. He wanted to be like the next Vince Carter for Canadian basketball and we'll always love him for the way he repped the city & country.
@@zaynrivers7433
Im from BC n I could give a f about Derozan or the Raptors go Lakers
@@jordyjohn2275 “couldn’t” shizhead. And nobody gives a fudge about your opinion too
May we never forget how much demar did for our city....
You forgot what he did yet?
@@neanam No. Real fans will never. Fans since 2018 on will never understand the magnitude of everything he did, all the paycuts, all the hard work to make this team relevant from 20 wins a year to 60 wins a year. Took us to the ECF as well.
@@Mr360Gman and at the drop of a hat y'all fired him for kawhi
twistr I never supported it. This chip didn’t feel good at all. DeRozan is my favourite player ever, and I spent a lot of time rooting for the spurs over the Raptors this year. Kawhi’s amazing, but I really want DeRozan to resign
@@Mr360Gman you are a respectable & true fan!!!
Demar we still love you in the city fam. Never wanted you to go.....This is still your city bro.
Friday Saturday so you didn’t wanna go to the nba finals 😂😂
@@AnthonyDavisGOAT thats not the point. It's good to be in the finals. It's even better if he was a part of it. The city still has love for him but the media is only talking about Kawhi. Trust me..most people in Toronto appreciate him.
@@AnthonyDavisGOAT so we should just forget about the first player in the franchise's history that stayed and loved the city? Toronto making the finals is great but let's not forget about the guy before Kawhi who gave it his best every year even if he wasn't as good.
@@Vincent-ld2bp it's not that he wasn't good enough but couldn't get past LeBron who is what, arguably the best player of all time
Friday Saturday. Bruh stop lying to him he is trash not super star let's be real 💯💯
TORONTO WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT DEEBO!!!!!
NO ONE CAN TAKE AWAY WHAT YOU DID AND HOW FAR YOU TOOK US!!
WE WILL NEVER FORGET!!
NOTHING BUT LOVE AND RESPECT FROM ALL RAPTORS FANS!!!
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MIXTAPE DEMAR!!!!
Clever Girl
we always got you Demar here in T.O like you had us.
Demar didn’t do shit. Choked every playoffs 🤦🏾♂️
How far you took us
Lmao this guy chocked every game against the Cavs even with only bum ass players like JR THOMPSON GEORGE HILL
Nicholas Davis FUCKING FACTS
Beast shut yo beast headed ass up nigga
Demar is a legit good guy...
Toronto will always love you
ALWAYS....LOVE & respect for him forever
Kyle, Demar, and Kawhi would be brutal.
KAWHI, MANI, TIM AND TONY WAS BETTER!
Geonidas he is talking about right now
Geonidas if your talking about prime then your right
I know pg sg sf
How would they get kawhi tho
It must be heartbreaking see the team you used to be on make the Finals soon as you leave
I know even though I’m a Spurs fan I still feel bad for DeMar
@@Idk_jotaro hell, I'm still sad for Demar
if lebron was not on the este i think they would win witth demar
I'm a Raptors fan through and through. I felt horrible for demar and I was extremely pissed. Yea kawai is great but a complete rebuild will bring us back to the beginning once he leaves. Best case scenario is that he stays another year or 2 TOPS.
As a Raptors fan, I actually think about that alot. I feel horrible for him. I'm guessing it's why he hasn't come out to watch a Raptors game in the playoffs yet. Probably too hard for him to do.
Demar is such a down to earth, genuine and humble soul. He’s a solid guy, really inspiring individual. Great interview, love Taylor Rooks!
pammo12 didn’t deserve what he got
@@jakegraham3758 you're being way too emotional. Trading him for Kawhi is one of the best things the Raptors did for years.
Zyad Taha wasn’t really an emotional comment but ok
but he sucks in basketball. next
got 5 on it averaged 21 on a playoff team and was a All-Star
“You can be around a group of people and still feel alone” man I felt this💯
I can't believe Pop made the spurs watch March of the Penguins
whats wrong
Always a special place here in the 6️⃣ for DeMar.
For real...I'm happy he did this interview. Respect to DD10
@Sean Jones Toronto area code is 416. The 6 is short form of saying your from The City of Toronto.
LMAO for some reason that 6 looked like a handicap sign at quick glance to me
Naww nawww. No place in here for the shooting gaurd who cant shoot. Hes average and defnetly a forgetable piece of our franchise. He held us back for years...
@@kevinbobb1031 You must be a bandwagon fan. Can't shoot? He's one of the best mid range shooters in the league. Top 3 shooting guard. He didn't hold anyone back, he average over 20pts every year in the playoffs, it's not his fault he had no help.
This is the first episode that I've seen most of the comments are actually about the interview than Taylor
I want her tho 😍
Cause she gross
we all want her......but apart from that she is a really good interviewer ...never knew DeRozan was so cool, he is a good dude
@beanie0112 yup i see that...I stand corrected!
But damn if she ain't looking like a whole snack.
He is so handsome and laid back. His shirt made of husband material fo sho 💯
Awww he seems so relaxed and light now. We miss DeMar :( You were integral to the Raptor's success.
0:22 DeMar on Raptors playoff run
4:35 How many pairs of shoes DeMar truly owns
5:45 Why DeMar plays in a new shoe every game
6:33 What Kobe means to DeMar
8:20 DeMar on rapper Nipsey Hussle

Bleacher report. You know very well that he's dying on the inside. Raptors trade him
Can i get free iphone?
Pin the comments because the RUclips comment section is really buggy
..or just watch the entire thing because it was pretty damn good? 🤔
This made me appreciate DeMar even more. Really great questions and really great answers.
Same here..
He is just an amazing human...
Did you do it?
Yes.
What did it cost?
DeRozan
What did it gain?
Kawhi
What did it cause?
A ring
What did you lose?
Kawhi went to the Lakers
@@ishantaryal6994 clippers*
Ishant Aryal L
DD deserves a ring just as much as anyone on the team. Such a classy guy, so proud that he was a Raptor, when everyone seemed to be jumping ship, he stood up “I want to play here”.
Taylor is really on a roll with these interviews! Kudos
Reason why demar never went to the next level because he always wear new shoes and never got a chance to brake into them. And he never tied his shoes smh
Mike Jones AHAHAH
she on a roll wif lotta thangs lol
@Mason Albert It's the THICCNESS right?
Really love what Kawhi has done for the organization and how hard he works. But Demar paved the way and put Toronto on the map for us through basketball as a successful player, and a person. As a fan, he did so much for the organization for the last 9 years and I wish the situation was dealt with in a better manner. Just know Toronto loves and misses you.
You said it....🙌
Love him so much. I Dont care he couldn't go further but he did so much for the city.....he is just an amazing human the fans will never forget that.. We will always love & respect him....ALWAYS
Nah Vince, Tmac, and bosh put Toronto on the map.
There was no better way. Demar for Green and Kawhi is why they are in the Finals. Period. I like Demar, but he's gone.
VC put Toronto on the Map.
Damon and Marcus brought Toronto started it all. VC and T-Mac brought Toronto to a place where players can flourish and be stars. DeMar, Bosh and Lowry made Toronto even better. Then Kwahi brought this team a ring. That's how it went.
🇨🇦🏀 Canada and RAPTORS fans still love❤ Demar! We miss you Demar❤ thank you for everything you did for the RAPTORS Nation
Great interview. Demar looked really comfortable. That was nice.
Demar DeRozan seems like he is one of the coolest dudes out there
He makes millions and is just a average player. I would be cool too
I don't know I doubt it you seem like a piece of shitt to me lol
@@Chiefqueef- Average?? Lol he consistently averages over 20 a game year after year.. that's not average lol
@@Overlinking yeah you said Average "Superstar" dude said in what I was replying to that he was just an average player.. like a J.R. Smith or something
We still love you so much DeMar. Thank you for everything you've done for our team, our city, and our country. We'll always miss you 🇨🇦
ALWAYS.....we will never forget him
He will always be in our hearts....
We miss you DeMar.
You deserve a ring for everything you did for Toronto.
❤️🏀🇨🇦
bruh im a fan of the raptors but at 1:10 is the exact statement is why i'm happy he got traded cause it's straight fax
if you really think about it demars personality and kawhis are very similar you can tell demar is shy and maybe a bit anxious around other people
zwebackshyper yeah but not as much as Kawhi. Kawhi way more awkward than DeMar stop playing lmao DeMar way more open to talk. Did U even watch this video? Damn bruh lmao
bruh also, talking on camera in an interview is diff than just in person
he IS TORONTO. Nothing but love double D
Yes he is & will always be..
He will always be our DEEBO
Major pause right there
Man's out here preaching love for Double D with only one butthole but that's cool with me
@@DosSantos721 maybe the butthole is hella stretched out

Pop just wanted to watch the penguin movie

Demar Derozan - I don’t tie my shoes when I play
Editor- *pictures of Demar with tied shoes*
maybe what he ment is really tied, he just laces them, not really tied them up, you Know what I mean?
He's not playing, hehehehe 🤣🤣🤣🤣. He's doing an interview.
He's not playing hehehehe 🤣🤣🤣🤣. He's doing an interview...
are u stupid? those werent pics of demar wearing those shoes demar never once wore any of those during a game. that scene had nothing to do with what demar was saying.
Miss this guy wearing the Raptors jersey..
Demar we miss you in toronto brother !
Demar still rockin that COMP10 hat with the Raptors font. damn demar..miss you bro. Raps fans love you
Love Demar, and I don't think anyone up here will ever forget or not appreciate what he did for basketball in Canada.
This was a pretty dope interview...wow Taylor Rooks is the future
Im really glad to hear this from his perspective
I wish I could buy a new shoe almost every other day
I wish I could buy a new shoe every week.
I wish I could buy a new shoe every month.
I wish I could buy a new shoe every year.
I wish, I wish I could buy a new shoe.
Ikr I have 1 pair of shoes😂
priorities in all the right places.
I’d suggest he’d give some of those shoes to the community. But then again how many people got size 13 feet? 😂
@@jamesbautista4694 he would be, they wouldn't just throw them out. them shits are either on eBay or they're being given to charities to sell
TO still loves you Demar. City hasn’t forgotten the work you put in
Yoooo DeMar. Send me that mix tape. One of my favorite players forever! Thank you for making Toronto great and opening up the sport for Canada. Love this guy
what a easy guy to love.
awesome interview.
This was a kool interview.
Taylor fine af
Toronto is your city bro and we hope you’ll come back. We didn’t want you to leave; we were just as hurt when you left. We want you to at least live here during the off season. We still think this is your city.
He didnt leave he was traded for kawhi
I think I found my new favorite NBA player for this era . Great interview
Wow - great interview, DeMar looks so relaxed, great role model.
Shitty title for this interview. Made it seem like Debo was crying about being the guy who had to sacrifice for the raps to make the jump. Fact is demar is a legend here in the 6 and he deserves top praise for everything he did to get us here! You the man Debo! Much love from long time raps season ticket holder!
Enjoyed this interview... I have always liked Demar... he seems like such a laid-back and cool person ❤️
Love the fact that a succesfully sportsman can talk about depression and how it affects people. Props to DeRozan.
Exactly.. without his many years of work ..none of this would be possible... it's really humble of him to say it himself.. cause nobody else will... that team wasn't built overnight
SM Pink I guess chocking in the playoffs really helped Toronto shine
Lmao 😂 choking in the playoffs lol really helped
Very true, that's why at the end of the day it's a business and you have to look out for yourself no matter what.
Choke choke choke....and more choke
The Raptors didn't choke.. they got LeBroned
Damn he’s suffering from depression then gets traded away. That’s rough, I can’t even imagine how it must have felt
us regular ppl are depressed all time, except we don't have millions of dollars and 400 pair of shoes.

Gooooooosh....I LOVE Demar's laugh....just love it
Oh Demar....we miss you❤
What a guy.....
Keep your head up DeMar.
You are a super elite player. We love you man.
Life happens.
God is with you.
Keep balling and being the role model man you are.
God bless!
I've watched your interviews before and never thought this, but yall look cute sitting by each other and it looked like a good relaxed vibe
10:05 WOOOOW! He did the Kawhi laugh! 😂😭
Thank you DD for all you have done for Toronto and Canada in general. We will never forget your hard work,love and dedication.
Demar was one of my favourite players before I even know Kahwi.. Always Team Demar, just being loyal ✊🏾
Really pisses me off how everyone is doing him dirty.
Derozan will always be a dinosaur 🦖. As soon as he went to spurs they became my second fav team
uh oh james charles i think hes straight
Toronto has always been one of my top 3 teams because they are always the underdogs and when they started making the playoffs I got super excited I do hope the city of Toronto wins a Championship. Its will be a huge win for the city. This is coming from a Spurs fan.
Hopefully we give him the max next year.G0 spurs!
bye spurs. yall treated kawhi badly. only like derozan on the team.
@@varunibali2367
Hell kawhi gone from Toronto too.Hes a clipper next year!
Demar we will never forget the work you put in. All time Raptor
Demar has been through so much, depression is real and his story is so inspiring I can’t even imagine what it’s like for him rn losing Kobe but he’s a trooper he’ll get through
DeRozan is a fav player of mine. Interview had a fresh feeling to it and her personality is contagious. She create/found a new fan
Demar is so down to earth guy. Happy he is a spurs and hope he find success with spurs! i am rooting for him
Raptors could not ask for a trade without DeMar DeRozan. He still made a contribution to Raptor's success this season that eventually land them the first road to Finals and Championship title. Respect for this man for his hard work to the team and may find success in the future with Spurs!
These interviews are so damn good! I have a whole new respect and appreciation for Demar! I need that mix tape!
This is a great interview. DeMar is the real one
On Game of Zones he was literally the sacrificial lamb
Love this Dude. Canada misses you
This interview was honestly so good ngl
my mans up there speaking his heart to her...keep fighting demar
Such a down to earth guy.. great things are coming man just wait for it...
Will always love him....
I don't understand how so many people can't disrespect him
Demar as a Canadian, you need to know that we got love for you brother!
demar we hope you miss toronto as a city too.... we loved you man i was shocked when i heard the news.
My boy Demar look happy in this interview great to see!
pee pee
Run to where Nigga a golden state ass whoopin
He ain't no king nigga couldn't even make it to the semis
@@thatboyjohnny3849 Bruh they made the Semis multiple times, made ECF in 2016. But I agree DeRozan ain't a king, he choked in every big playoff game. Otherwise they woulda already been to the finals
He didn’t walk though. He was pushed.
A Healthy Snack he’s still a legend no matter what. An ECF was the most we could have gotten from that team anyways so... Lowry wasn’t great in playoffs either back then
I love How demar is still In Good Spirits he shouldn’t be mad he got traded for a top 3 player & He ran into Lebron James & Kyrie in the East I still rock with you DD can’t wait Too next year 💯💯
Demar, Canada loves you forever. We know you are the reason our country is here. Lakers fan, but a Canadian first. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Man I miss this dude... so genuine. A great person overall!!! Best of luck to you man. You and Dwane got the Raps to where they at right now. Feel bad for the trade, but I guess it worked out for everyone.
Canada will always love you and respect the work you put in when you were with us.
🙌🙌🙌
OUR Demar forever
Everybody forgetting No one wanted Lowry. Pop traded Leonard and green for him. Think about that.
Nikola Obrenic they shouldn’t forget
Lowry would have a higher trade value if he was the same age as Demar. However he isn't and Lowry is out of his prime unlike DeRozan.
Spurs also got a pick
Nikola Obrenic dont forget about poetl
Lowry is 32 and the raps gave a pick and Jason Proetk or whatever the fuck his name was
Thumbs up to the interview, very funny, entertaining, all good
One of the most genuine interviews I’ve seen
Tbh they look cute together 🤷🏿♂️❤️
I low-key was thinking they clicked somewhere in the interview.
@@infinitepeace6124 same lmao
DeMar is at the top of my athlete's 'i would like to collaborate with' all the best to him
I don't hate neither love him but seeing and hearing all of it makes me appreciate Demar more. He's more than an athlete, great man. Wishing him to prosper more on his life. Goodluck on Spurs
That was a lovely interview. From Toronto, we definitely miss DeMar. He was a necessary casualty of the business, but he will always be an icon in this town and country.
Demar is the only non-Raptor I cheer for. I even cheered for him when he played Toronto
Lmao same,
I wanted the raptors to lose
Both games but that steal by kawhi on derozan in toronto had me like 💔.
The 2019 Raptors didn't have to face LeBron in a playoff series. It's an apples and oranges comparison. DeMar would have got em there if there was no LeBron. D Rose would have had a ring in 2011 if the Heatles weren't there. Stockton and Malone would have a ring if no Jordan. PPL need to chill with dissing DeMar.
Prince G-MO PREACH brother
Even with LeBron gone that Raptors team would still have to contend with the stacked starting lineup of the 76ers ,the dysfunctional but still talented Celtics ,and 60 wins with MVP Giannis Bucks . The harsh reality is that the Demar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry though talented had hit a glass ceiling in terms of success . The Kawhi Trade is the biggest and possibly only reason the Raptors are in the finals .
Yow KAWHI faced Lebron too!
Damn klaw got a ring yow!
SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE ONES IN THE BACK! Been waiting for someone else to bring this perspective out. Lebron was the king of the east for over 10 years, he's an all-time great and they hate demar for not being able to beat that... It does suck that he didn't come through in some cases, but we wouldn't be in this position rn if it wasn't for his legacy in Toronto.
Demar wouldn't have been able to get pass Giannis.
Acquiring Kawhi was the difference,not Lebron leaving.
We all love you man. We have mad respect and we’ll always be fans
I love this guy......so glad he’s with us now
DEMAR you did what you could while you were at the north and we will always remember that.
Keep that head up, fam. U a beast. I saw you at Disneyland after last year's playoffs and wanted to tell you as much in person but that woulda been weird. Anyways man it's gotta feel strange to see your ex team in the Finals but that's sports for ya. Doesn't detract from the fact you're a great player.
Ew

DeMar, thank you for all your dedication to the Raptors and to the North. Raptors fans were sad with the news of the trade when we lost you to the Spurs. You will always have a fan in me. I wish you all the best with ur new team & hope they appreciate you as much as we do.
Off topic: Can we appreciate her respectful beauty tho?! 😍
She really knows how to handle an interview!
Chief and a cock
she can handle something else too!!
Nice interview!
Now I know some new informations about Derozan
Toronto will always have love Demar. He'll always be cheered when he comes back. He'll never be forgotten. He was a huge part of who the Raptors are, were, and how they got to where they are now.
Clearly DeMar watched that game of zones episode where he got sacrificed.
