Proud to be a part of this. DeMar started a necessary movement with this!

DOLLA!
Mine & my brother’s favorite players 🔥🙏🏼💭

Him & Kevin love
Gotta get someone like D Rose on this 💯 he’s the embodiment of learning to vocalize about your struggles to make it through to a better place mentally
frfr
D Rose would be a top notch episode!
Draymond is talking about wanting to see a therapist but what he doesn't know is he's already speaking to one cos that convo in itself was a healing session and this kinda reminds me of that passage in the bible that says 'confess your burdens to each other that you may be healed`. Big ups to DeMar and Draymond 👏
That's real.
Amen.
It pretty similar except the therapist charge you a 100 an hour 😅
Just want to throw this in here, but this podcast was recorded (presumably) before the 23/24 season started, or very early into the season. Since this, Dray started therapy this season during his suspension and has talked about how helpful and insightful it's been for him.
u know demar respects green if he telling him personal info like that
goes to show how dumb nba fans r believing anything they watch from the media.
Green gets a lot of respect from hoopers.
DeMar showing its bigger than basketball We appreciate u fr
DeMar I hear it, Deless I like it
Real shit here. Respect ❤
The part about being traded unexpectedly while your pops was seemingly dying and having your daughter the day he was buried and having to play a game that same night... That's a different level of tough. I really love the fact we get to see you open up more demar and I hope this will be a little like therapeutic for you brother. I'll definitely be watching every time y'all drop
Demar Debo DeRozan is a SOLID DUDE. As a Canadian and a Raptors fan he was my 2nd favorite Raptor but after listening to him being vulnerable and open about his mental health and therapy, he's became my number 1 Raptor ALL TIME.
Facts
As a fellow Canadian and also a raptors fan I've been saying this, he's the GROAT for me because after CB4 left HE manufactured winking on Toronto, he had to work like crazy on himself to make that happen, and only after he did that Toronto started winning a little and people decided to give it a chance Kyle is seen as the best just because he stayed, and why did he stay? Cuz the spurs didn't want him. I love Kyle don't get me wrong but Demar man! Thank you for everything👊🏿 I know we'll meet someday and I'll be able to tell you that face to face.
Both Demar & Kyle are it & it's perfect because their names will always belong together 😉
DeMar you will always be my favorite player♥️♥️♥️
Demar, you're already one of my favorite Bulls of all-time. As someone who struggles with depression & anxiety, I respect you even more for this.
Pretty sure you meant raptors but it’s your boat. 🫱🏽🫲🏾
As a black man, dealing with mental health problems in this systematic country we live in.. this episode was a BLESSING for me🖤🤝🏽
You know what we deal with. With that said, stay strong and stay blessed, brother!!! I'm praying, and rooting for you to win big time!✊✝
Stay strong brother 🙏🏿
Keep this up DeMar! You're saving several lives by doing this and helping so many to get help and therapy or proper treatment for support in treating and taking care of their mental health. Very powerful and inspirational all of this DeMar and love you lots for doing it and continue to create more effective awareness on mental health🙏🙏
So happy this is a series man, all of 🇨🇦 loves ya Demar ❤️
Appreciate the present and past players having podcasts (Dray, Demar, PG, Bev, JJ and etc.). Gives us a glimpse of their world within and outside basketball. Much thanks and respect to all of you and keep pushing the social platform boundaries.
Facts
Draymonds opening statement about your relationship made my heart melt🫶🏻
Demar gotta be the realest athlete out there
Sending love from Toronto. Always appreciate you Demar
Demar this goes so hard. Keep spreading the word, dudes all over the world NEED to hear these messages you're putting out there
I did not know much about Demar as a person until I saw him on Draymond's podcast and really liked what I heard. What an inspirational dude. As a sixty four year old white dude from the Bay Area my circumstances growing up might have been different but my love of basketball was a language all to itself that helped me meet so many people. My role models on the court were first Kurt Rambis and second Dennis Rodman as I had a passion for setting picks and blocking out amongst other attributes. It's the little things that don't hit a box score that bring victories and both of you get it. In this Tik Tok era people tend to judge people on their best and worst moments in life when in reality there is so much in between that truly defines you as a person. I remember times on the court where I got so pissed off about being undercut that I picked a dude up and pinned him against the wall and told him next time would be his last time. If that was the only moment you ever saw of my life you might thing I am crazy. People that haven't participated in a competitive game don't realize what passion can bring out in a man or woman.
Bro tiktok is so judge mental I swear
When a 64yo dude says it's the tik tok era and not the post-pandemic economic recession/regional conflict area... ah fuck
I see what you mean to quite an extent tho. Don't even use the app personally but I can see the impacts it has on people both online and even in person
Nice to see Demar open up. Also nice to see someone shed light on Draymonds true character
This is great. Being an ex-pro athlete. We didn’t have an outlet like this to express ourselves. Athletes are seen as superheroes sometimes, and people must realize that we go through things emotionally.
Don’t care what yall say draymond a real nigga he a kind human being and so with Demar I’m glad he opened up and spoke
Man I was thinking the same thing. Say what you will but Dray has a lot of relationships w/ dudes In the League who say the same thing about him. He solid as hell. He’s obviously a real one and the media paints this narrative of him that ppl just attach to.
Haha yea he said it's all about maturing hahaha that was funny. So question is when is dray maturing??? Haha. This is all about views n likes n getting paid n we all here giving it to them. Smh what a joke
@@joeymiddleton5821 haha u are haha a joke haha... haha haha
No he's not lmao he refuses to learn from his mistakes. He literally endorsed Miles Bridges just last night that's disgusting
@@aswathravindran3273 no shootings today?? Bored??
This show is going to do numbers. Especially this one with Dray. NBA players are HUMAN. Legit conversation!
The black and white was a very good decision, whoever suggested that is good at their job.
This is incredible Demar! My 11 year old daughter is a full time hooper and the biggest bulls fan, we watch every bulls game and she learned how to draw fouls by studying you! So glad we found this channel ❤
I am happy Lil cousin, for using your platform to discuss real things that isn't spoken about in our family & community. Love You ❤️.
i felt demar when he said people will call and ask for something and won’t even ask how you doing or anything first.
They busy being broke and poor. They in survival mode
For real people never reach out to me how I am doing but I always have to ask everyone else
Draymond!!! A huge reason for the warriors success! Passionate to the max!
Thanks for doing this, honestly. I’m sure it means a lot for many of us. As Draymond said, playing basketball at this point it’s easy, but this, this is hard and brave. Thank you!
Respect🫡 I am a basketball RUclipsr from Taiwan and DeMar is my favorite player since Junior High. Thanks for sharing your experience with us and you will always be my hero 🙌🙌
Greatest Raptor of ALLLLL TIMEEE and even better person!!!! most underappreciated star in the game
Please my brother say it louder the realllllllll GROAT🎉🎉
Absolute truth.
DeMar, this is such a great idea. The dinner table is underated in our society, but it's something that can greatly benefit us. It gives space to talk, be heard, communicate, and be seen. One things I've learned is we know the light because of darkness and vice versa, being grateful and patient with ones self is vital for growth. Much respect!
Most underrated star in the league, love from New York
I’m glad I got to see DeMar play for my hometown team, the Chicago Bulls. Hell of player on the court and an even better man off the court. Much respect for using your platform to give us these gems 💎
My hometown of Chicago also
Demar you have been my favorite player for a while now I got your signature thank you so much for making my day
I am a huge warriors fan. Considering that this was filmed in 2022 and seeing everything that happened with Draymond and the warriors in the 2023 season, I wonder if things would’ve been different for him if he had went to therapy. It is great to see that he was actually considering it back then.
Also it’s so refreshing to see professional athletes addressing mental health and not pretending like they are immune to life’s problems. It’s good for our youth to see that it’s okay to not be okay and it’s okay to seek help to better yourself and deal with your problems.
I loved watching this and can’t wait until the other episodes come out!
Your comparison of finding something in therapy like it's a film session is so incredible. You're the best!
It's bigger than basketball, players are human above all else... Thank you Deebo, I really need this.. Please more episodes
Loving all these podcasts from the players 🔥
Men carry so much on their shoulders regardless of what tax bracket you’re in.
Dray would excel in therapy. You can just tell. He'd open up so much
I’d love to see Drummond on the show too eventually. I think that would be dope
Draymond Green the realest in the game
DeMar will forever be my GOAT.
Thank you Demar for sharing all those things you'd lived, we really appreciate it ♥️👍
Draymond's overly animated self did not need this 80 mob film black and white filter 😂
Y’all gotta love Demar and Draymond more as people than athletes. Can’t wait for the next video! Good Shit Demar! COMP10
My FAVORITE NBA PLAYER WE LOVE YOU DEMAR SO MUCH 🤍🫶🏼
DeMar likes to say "you know what I mean?" & "you see what I'm sayin?" a lot. lol
I have mental health issues nobody noticed til I told/tell them I've always opened up about it because most people who look like me don't have someone they can trust
One of my goals in Life is to have a conversation with DeMar. Off the record on the record doesn't matter just want to have a honest conversation and thank him for his impact on my life. Literally been following his career since his high school days and man what a journey it has been. Proud of you Deebo 💪🏾#ProveEm
Beautiful episode. As a combat vet from 2003 invasion of Iraq (amongst other traumas/PTSD), I've been avoiding therapy for years. I never gave it shot. Not against it, it just seems to be inconvenient...but everyday I feel a little closer to something worse. Really open to getting this started. If only the VA here in ATL wasn't so packed all the time. Always an excuse. See Red Etc.
Shed tears listening to this conversation, thinking about my own trauma. But I'm with Draymond I've tried 3 therapists and felt like they were judging me and decided it's not for me and looked for other outlets...
Draymond's perception of therapy is very normal and more so in the black community and his fears are normal. One thing for sure, you will know when you're speaking to the right Therapist for YOU, but it takes time. Good luck to you both!
Therapists would lose their license for spreading y’all’s personal stories!!!!!!
Same, same. Have resisted therapy for many years but my current primary care kept suggesting it. Finally stumbled across a virtual program where I can have sessions over the phone for six months, instead of going to an office. So far, so good.
Damn, i’m excited to see more of this! DeMar’s voice isn’t really out there like that but it clearly needs to be. What a powerful talk to be gifted the opportunity to witness.
Nah this was powerful! No athlete is doing it quite like this. Looking forward to this series!
DeMar,is one of my favourite player's. Great and pure hooper,but even more stronger as a person.❤
Real Ones
I feel better after watching this video. Thanks guys!
Great podcast, but damn! Draymond fucking up the food and fork as this man opens up. Stop eating lol
so we just ignore the food sitting there getting cold 🧐 "Dinners With Demar" but nobody eats
Is there a reason this video is black and white? Wouldve enjoyed this much more with colour - being able to see the colour of the dishes being served etc
It’s simple ma boy it’s some basketball players homie that take it serious for the love of the game & some that do it for the bread same wit therapists homeboy LA love
You are still a Toronto guy & always will be Demar!
I love how DeMar is letting himself be so vulnerable, this show is 100% going to help others ❤
Powerful conversation. Great job my brothers.
Please get D rose on this
This is a good episode..I hope this show gets more sport figures on for sure.
more than one in three Americans who are no longer in therapy said they discontinued treatment because of cost-related reasons.
DeMar DeRozan always Delivers! You are loved and appreciated bro
This was therapeutic just to watch. Chicago get this man that extension 💯
Demar thank you for all the years in Toronto and beyond. You are my favorite play off all time.
Great questions by Draymond
DeMar we love you ❤
Let’s get Draymond to therapy Debo
Demar is the goat 🐐, love to see this actually platformed in this format. ❤
The father, Maestro for Midrange. 😊
This a fire ass concept demar💯
I love deMarrr. But Mason Sath solos
DeMar is the reason I started hooping & now have a yt channel around basketball 🙏🏼
Toronto still got u, raptor forever
Thank you for creating a platform where we regular people can see what life is like as an NBA player, what its really like from the other side's perspective
DeMar The Real Diamond in rough
Ahh it’s always nice to see my favorite player 💙
Dramyond is my fav player in the history of the sport. This is a great show... DeMar is a real one. I hope this keeps going for hundreds of eps.
You gotta get Dejounte on this !!!
An amazing way to use the platform! This helps a lot.
crazy love to deebo man..
Hello, I just want to say thank you for everything because of you I watch basketball more. If you see this you've been my favorite basketball player since I was 5 and in June I will turn 13. Please one day I hope we can meet each other and I can take a picture or get a signature but for now. Bye
2 of my favorite players having an honest and deep conversation! Thanks DeMar. I hope you know you're loved here in San Antonio. I know it was a dark time in your life, but you honestly gave me some hope in those days post Kawhi. As you know the Spurs are a part of the city and the culture here and you helped a lot of us get through a tough time. So for that I thank you.
POWERFUL
Demar tweet regarding depression was definitely ground breaking and doesn't get enough credit for that.
My first to see this channel WELCOME TO THE CLUB❤
As a huge fan of Demar, this is officially one of my favorite RUclips channels. He has been such a great inspiration for any aspect in my life. I appreciate you Deebo!
Dope first episode. I swear I’ve said 90% of this episode to family friends co-workers about trying therapy.
Thank you for this DeMar. Watching this from Ethiopia, father of 3. I've never seen something this inspiring on youtube... I'm learning to deal with my stress, especially traumatic stress recently. I'm looking forward to seeing your journey through this 🙏
Definitely needed to hear this I'm glad i watched this today on the ride to work
DeMar is a very unique player love you Deebo forever my favourite player💙
Brave men! Basketball, laborer, doctor - different struggles but common needs. Thanks for this forum, Demar.
that was really good! i really related to what you said about laying on the bed and not having the energy to do anything. ive felt that shit before and its definitely tough.
you should do a follow-up to this now that draymond actually got therapy!
