Rest in peace Kathy Drysdale. Dereck is so humble and such a hardworker. You clearly brought out his talents to the max and he seems like an awesome guy beyond basketball. F cancer man
What do you mean? His mom passed; wasn't she in remission?
@@edross2826 Yeah his mom got news that the cancer was in remission but it came back unfortunately. Cancer is hard to get rid of
There's nothing like a boy/man who loves his mama.
She just passed away😔
@@IvoryisBlondedmay she rest in peace.
She got to live long enough to see her son make it. Thats all most of parents could ask for. She made a great son. Hopefully she went knowing she succeeded as a mother. Rip 🙏
RIP Kathy Drysdale your son will continue to make you proud!
RIP to both parents. So glad this dude is a Mav. He is full of class and seems like such a kind and caring guy.😊
The mom is still alive
in spirit
R.I.P. MS. KATHY! YOU HAVE AN AWESOME SON AND I KNOW YOU ARE LOOKING DOWN AND SMILING ON HIM NOW!
After seeing him on 4 different playoff game this man is a monster for me in few years he will be one one the best at his positions i am sure of that .
He’s constantly working out with Tyson chandler too! I’m excited to see where he goes with his career. He’s giving me prime joakim Noah vibes with his ceiling.
I was little when my dad passed in a wreck and still in school when my mom died of cancer, I know exactly how he feels.
I'm sorry for your loss. Love and prayers brother.
Nuggets fan here - now I love this guy even more! God bless!!
RIP Kathy Drysdale ,Dereck show the best basketball on earth , love from slovenia
rip kathy.. stay strong dereck! we’ll be rooting for you!
I have never wanted so much to see someone succeed in his career than this young man.
same feels
He's a beautiful example.
I still think Lively is a top 5 talent. The guy was the number 1 ranked player going into college last year. Played in a system with tradition and order, played his role and did his best.
Believe cam whitmore was the no.1 ranked guy but I get your point
Good call
Look at playoff now , this guy is a monster i think in few years NBA will notice him because he will be a monster ;)

RIP to both his mom and dad. I hope this young man continues his athletic journey and realizes that Cathy and Derrick are looking down on him with warm eyes watching him strive on. His mom dedicated her life for his dream and pushed to catapult his career. A true "Shero". Prayers and peace to all remaining family. Keep going young man.
Devastating news. RIP Kathy Drysdale. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I feel so awful for Derek. I loved seeing her support her son at the Mavs games.
This Is a good kid that was raised right even in difficult circumstances. We need more parents to step up
Can’t believe she’s gone
Man he had a tough childhood family wise...im rooting extra hard for him...good luck bro
In any case, his mom with him and helps Dereck🙏, and when there is such a connection, he feels it....❤️

Imagine she's still here to witness her son winning the wcf championship 🥲
Her mother raised him well and molds him with all heart Godbless your mother derek ❤️🙏
This young man is amazing on the court.
He is perfect with the Mavericks! Go get your Championship! Love watching him, Luka, and Kyrie!
Hearing this story after what I went through with my own mother and seeing how hard it makes him work has made Lively II my favourite player. Keep playing hard and making your parents proud kid, it gives the rest of us hope and I know they're both smiling down on you.
He's a warrior!
Bless the moments, laughs, & times this family shared....
Beautiful story. Grateful God didn’t take both of his parents from him. Great job mom an your relentless an strength is awesome an worthy not to be overlooked, now I see why Lively is a beast on the court, he knows what Triumphant an perseverance is all about.❤️💯

Welcome to D town young stud. Glad we got such a humble beast !!! Can't wait to see you ball out of control and help us get a chip!!!
That’s messed up man he Rest in peace
strong women raise amazing people
One gritty woman. I’m a Nuggets fan, but my wife and I adopted the Mavs for the playoffs this year. After watching Derek for several games, but before I knew this, I told her “I really like this kid!” He plays and conducts himself the way we all should strive to.
Very sorry he lost both parents at such a young age. Bet they're smiling on him in heaven, they must be so proud of him.
DLive's mom is a fighter!👏
omg that is so inspiring
I like this pic for Dallas
Awesome story ❤
R.i.p
If he win the championship this year, it’ll be an incredible story.
R.I.P
My favorite player in Mavs uniform and he is one of the reasons that we are in the finals
GOD BLESS!
Beautiful people. 🤘💜
OKC thought D-Live might buckle under the pressure of free-throws with their hack-a-lively attempt 😂 they clearly didn’t know about his mental toughness!!
RIP Kathy
I feel the pain🦾💯🩵🏀
OMG 😱 R.I.H. Miss Kathy GOD PLEASE LET ME BE WITH MY SON … at least this long. Hate that I can empathize 😭
RIP
Come to the Pels mate! 🏀🇬🇧
Tyson Chandler 2.0
💔😭
This kid had to grow up so fast to deal with his emotions and life 😢
Let's go Mavs
I'm actually going to cheer for a team with Kyrie Irving on it.
Difference maker.
They asked Scoot who's a Sleeper Pick. Somebody Elite that nobody is talking about? and He said Derrick Lively.
🥹💪👊❤️
This is lakers guy cmon #17
DRUGS will take you down.
TOO BAD dad missed all this.
He will either shine or go bust with Luka. Hoping for the best though.
It will make him and Luka better.
It will make him and Luka better.
It will make him and Luka better.
Defense oriented player he has a place in the NBA his offense comes later

Screw the game. He shoulda been with the family.. smh. Anerican prioritizes are backwards
Seems like your emotions along with empathy are backwards , but hey as along as you can take chance to throw a jab at Americans why not 😒
