I think leaving San Antonio was the best for him. He always felt a scapegoat for the kawhi trade and kawhi winning Toronto a ring. Now demar has a fresh start in a new team
I actually think going to san Antonio was the best for him..for them 3 long years😂 he played for one of the greatest coaches In NBA history..I truly believe he built his confidence there .before that, he choked lot In the playoffs specially against lebron..let's see what he does In the playoffs, that was the main reason he was traded for kawhi ...but he def deserve to be In the MVP talk..been saying for A while now..
It doesnt hurt that the rest of the bulls are also energized and hungry. I stringly believe theyre still number one in the east if carusso hadnt missed games. Even without him they 2nd
@@intrepido4695 he was there for 3 years I think lol
@@intrepido4695 he was there for 3 year's.
Lol mane pop made him a better player he gets to his spots wayy easier now
He does. What he’s doing for the bulls right now, being a master in the mid range, dropping 30+ every night is insane. Everyone wrote him off when he was in San Antonio but in Chicago he has come out and balled every night.
He’s averaging 27.9 not 30
@@camerondrain8166 for the season yes, he has averaged 35+ a game the past 6 games on 50% or better shooting. That hasn't been done in the nba since Wilt Chamberlain.
San Antonio was the best thing that happen to him. He learned the right way how to play and utilize his skills to his best ability from Pop and the coaching staff. Now hes even better from learning from a great organization. Those 3 years taught him so much.
He is an all star starter and getting heavy recognition this year. He needs to perform in the playoffs to be certified
Still would like to see him be a little less ball dominant. Sometimes it can get to a trade off with him and Zach taking turns instead of just running offense. That can be a hindrance come playoff ball. Especially if it means less post touches for vucevic like it has tended to be when they are all on the court together
Tmac makes this show much more entertaining. T-Mac has the confidence and comes off as if he knows he was the best player in the room.
Demar is the biggest story in the NBA that nobody’s talking about. That’s crazy if you think about it.
Last 6 games, Averaging 35+ a game and shooting 60%.
@@_Blonca crazy
Facts..nah broh but these other players who take time off, and who sabotage their teams record by throwing A fit wanting to get traded every other year get the attention...
@@intrepido4695 exactly. Let’s focus on actual basketball and not the antics. What Derozan is doing is crazy. I hope he gets a ring, he deserves it.
Idk but I been paying close attention to his game since the start of the season LOL I knew he'd be a good fit in the bulls. I guess not a lot of people would've known that if he hasn't had eyes on him.
Please keep T-Mac! He fits in well with the crew and I miss him on TV!
Us basketball fans love DeRozan in part because his game is a throwback
Exactly!
a throwback to...

Watching these guys together makes you realize how under appreciated TMac was as a player
He was not underappreciated.
Disagree. If you grew up with 2000s bball you know he was a superstar.
@@Borrister When I hear of the all time greats he’s rarely mentioned though and he was noticeably absent in the top 75 players of all time list
@@jovanbrown9673 I think it's because every chance he would've had for greatness in the post season was ruined by injuries or other teams (would honestly have a ring if it weren't for the Heat picking up Ray Allen, even if it would've only been as a bench player), poor dude's body just couldn't handle the power he balled with
@@ILOV3BUTT3R it wasn't that though. You said his body couldn't handle it? There was an article years ago, it mentioned how Tmac took his talent for granted and how he hardly put in the work to prep his body for the long term. How else would you explain how he went from scoring at such a ridiculous high level with the magic then slowly decline once he got with the rockets.
They needa keep bringing Tmac on, he’s a natural
The Bulls deserve their respect and Demar should get some props. They rarely talk about the success him and the team has had on any sports debating shows. Considering the injuries they’ve faced and lineups constantly changing, they’ve still managed to do great.

Keep them quiet. We like being in the shadows we don’t need any media coverage 😈
Normal season with healthy superstars the Bulls aren’t better than a 4 seed
@Shayne Silva Bulls are tied for first as of today with the Heat who have had multiple big 3 players miss significant time. Teams below them like Philly had $40 mill opting to sit in street clothes all season. or The Bucks big 3 has missed 39 games combined. Nets have had plenty of issues with missing big money players other than just KD.
Fact is the Bulls have only missed more than 10 games from players that aren’t their big 3. Derozan, Lavine, Vuc, have only missed 11 combined games. Derozan hasn’t missed any time and for that reason is also among MVP consideration.
@Shayne Silva
1. Miami big 3 = 57 games missed
2. Bulls big 3 = 11 games missed
3. Sixers big 3 = 79 games missed
5. Bucks big 3 = 39 games missed
8. Nets big 3 = 83 games missed
I think I see a trend…
You can tell the respect that TMac gets from guys who played against him, just cuz guys had deeper playoff runs don't make them better than that HOFer
Demar derozan got his passing game together and became much more of a overall offensive threat. How he played got better when under Pop's influence. I'm surprised how few people are taking about how Demar adapted and has been so successful.
Told people he got completely under pop system. Overall better offensive player
DeMar is actually the MVP this season.
Two all time scoring machines talking about another one.
Bots on CZcams comments now…
@@rastafar3899 They been on CZcams and IG comments lol
Get tmac on the show more I feel like he gets better the longer he’s on tv
Why did he leave in the first place? I enjoyed him a lot in the jump
@@Kama_lefagaoalii the Rachel Nichols thing. They shook that show up afterwards cuz they trying so hard to get an inside the nba. A lot of guys moved around since then
@@andreearl3258 What's the Rachel Nichols thing??
Tmac makes the show
I’m loving this crew. I like Candace, but TMAC is TMAC.
TRACY is JST WHAT TUESDAY NIGHT NEEDS BESIDES CHUCK AND ERNIE LISTEN TO ME
Keep Tmac on here!
The world finally seeing what we saw in Toronto for many years, just hope he can take this form to the playoffs, thay was always the big question mark
Lol he good but he aint all that. I seen him many times in the playoffs play like he is playing for JV instead of a top flight professional team
Fax. He's an MVP in the regular season but chokes in playoffs
Tmac so good at this man, this lineup is elite
This video is so awesome to me.
My first and third favorite team at the top of the East and two of my favorite players in the set :D
Derozan's stats
2016-17: 27.3ppg, 5.2rpg, 3.9apg
2021-22: 27.8ppg, 5.2rpg, 5.1apg
People are acting like this is somehow new for Derozan. The issue was never with his regular season performance. Never. The issue was his playoff performances. Let's wait for the playoffs before saying that Demar "changed" or not.
Even the playoffs are far too criticized. Kyle choked just as much AND by that logic, the entire East choked as Lebron dominated the east for more than a decade. I won’t argue the 2016 ECF run they made it to with Cleveland. He really struggled in that playoff series. But in nearly every other trip to the playoffs, his overall numbers have improved compared to his regular season numbers.
If you look at the basic stats, you are right they look similar. The difference is his efficiency and the decision making he makes within the game. He’s a more polish passer and plays in a more controlled pace to get to his spots. His years in San Antonio did him very well.
I've legit been following Demar since HS, his Hoops mixtape back in the day on CZcams on that AAU team with Lil Romeo, then on to USC, his game evolved every year
I remember that show with Lil Romeo 😂😂 first time I realized Demar was really like that
Love having him in Chicago. I had a good feeling about the signing, but he surpassed all of my expectations.
T Mac needs to stay
Demar is one of my favorite players of all time! I hope he keeps it up!
Ive always been a Derozan fan. But I was so sad when my raps betrayed him for Kawhi. Good to see him do well
You're sad you got a title? Because with playoff Demar you weren't winning anything.
@@Paulafan5 Im sad they handled him in the deal and trading him the way they did
@@superpro1thomas858 he was never winning a ring there. That team was dogshit with him
@@nictartaglino5622 Read the comment above you buddy I legit said the Raps did him dirty because of how they handled his trade
Simple..... The Bulls weren't even expected to make the playoffs or at best an 8th seed or a play in team.... You instead, we're the #1 seed in the east with the entire rosters missing time... Truly Tue difference maker and what defines a MVP
DeMar DeRozan is a reserved laid back player. Those type of players don't get the credit they deserve. He would probably get more endorsements if he had more personality. I don't think i ever saw Tim Duncan in a commercial.
Demar has been balling all season he deserves more credit then he’s getting 💯💯
Mid range game is still beautiful to see!
Miss him in Toronto still. All the best Demar.
But to win a title you had to dump him because he wasn't getting any better (in the playoffs).
🙏🏼🙏🏼
I'm a Mavs fan, but I still see him as the often overlooked Raptors guy.
He was traded away from Toronto & under the radar in San Antonio, but here he is again just playing like he always has. Just now he's finally getting more credit with the increased spotlight & improved efficiency.
👍🏼 Demar is just an amazing player.
He is balling, but dont forget the Raptor days... Needs to deliver in the playoffs.
DeMar is killing. Dude been nice. Give that man his flowers.
In Toronto he went from strictly a high flyer to a bucket. In San Antonio he learned how to be a facilitator. We're just seeing him put it all together in Chicago. He's been a bucket for a very long time this ain't nothin new.
Derozan does it in the house of MVPs..best of the best at their prime ,MJ and D'rose..
Big shot out to DeMar DeRozan he's balling out of control there's levels to this and setting the bar real high rn!! In my opinion DaMar, Ja, Luca & Booker are top guards in the league rn
Yeah boy!!!
This panel is sick!
T-Mac is a legend!!
One of my favorite players of ALL TIME!
But, somebody get that man a Comb..
🤣✊🏽🙏🏽💯
MVP!
San Antonio Was Actually The Best thing For Demar’s Career He Learned the system now he going CRAZY I LOVE IT
Love how Wade is rocking the semi formal look
I been a long time fan of Demar since he was the AAU teammate of Lil Romeo. It's so good to see him get the recognition he deserves. I know it's a long shot but I hope he wins MVP.
Lil romeo lol
love this panel ! bring back t-mac !
Absolutely he does
See Pop gave demar the fundamentals in his shot selection and his mid range taught him how to be a leader he took that with him to Chicago
He's doing his own thing. That's what I like about his game. He's just going deadly from mid-range not caring about 3p hype.
It's crazy that the Celtics at the beginning of December barley in playoff picture and now are 3-1/2 back from 1st place.
Derozan is actually balling like DWade right now.
literally prime example of the right fit/organization can really change the perception of a player.
As a bulls fan here derozan should be in the mvp conversation if we can just get healthy no more injuries and depends we do on buyout market we need another big man and a guard if we get those 2 we will be able to make some noise in the playoffs.
San Antonio just play fundamental ball. Demar needs to handle and dish or take the mid-range to dominate. He is an animal. Glad he got out of the deep south
“Fundamental ball”
The San Antonio playstyle has changed so many times over the years, they’re always ahead of the curve and teams copy their style.
Being in SA helped Demar be a better player.
I hope they at least reach the ECF, I am rooting for this duo DemarXZach..
Derozan and tmac are my fav players
Toronto he was all offense...in San Antonio he became a play maker...now he put it all together but the playoffs is where u make your fame
Shout out
derozan &jh are best budz before nba
How much more praise does he need to get, he is an All Star Starter
Right now currently demar is 9th in nba in the mvp race which is ridiculous he is definitely top 5 for sure and with him breaking the record last night too. Mvp derozen vote now.
Thank you Tmac. Give this dude his props.
mcgrady needs to be on this show permanently
he will get his flowers when he gets to the conference finals and FINALs
Demar Derozan deserves MVP votes.
DeRozan is now THE best SG in the NBA
To me Derozen is MVP watch out for Chicago come playoffs
Facts
If he continues to play like This in the Playoffs he will get it
Demar went to SA an became a better player. Now he’s in a place where those play making an ball handling skills can shine.
If DeMVP was sitting at that table he would be the greatest scorer among them.
Derozen hoopin , plain and and simple. He will get a ring or two in Chicago in the next two years.
Legit top 5 MVP candidate
First team all pro
the central division is one of the most competitive divisions in the nba today
Sonic - D-Wade
Knuckles - Shaq
T-Mac on NBA live 2003!
His numbers are not much different from his 2016/2017 season. His effeciency was 46 percent but he was scoring 27 ppg. The Raptors where second in the east that year. The Raptors made it to the ECF and lost in six games against a very dominant Cavs team. ALL OF YOU where clowning him and the Raptors back then. Now all of a sudden he's this amazing player. He's always been amazing. This is too much, the subjectivity is offensive.
Shaq tried to hide them feet 😂😂
Top 3 MVP
He should definitely be in the MVP conversation. Don't think he'll win it but he should at least be a consideration
He could win , he's underrated he's only averaging 1 point less than Embiid, derozan is shooting better from the field just imagine a guard shooting with higher FG% than a center, but I think Giannis is having better season than everyone on both ends
love Tmac joining the panel
I can watch T Mac every week
Some players age very well in this game. Demar, at age 32, is playing the best basketball of his life. Look at players like Chris Paul and PJ Turcker, they have great career after age 32. A player needs to grow and play smart.
derozan is no doubt a component to the bulls success. despite that his teammates are also a factor to their record. I hope they continue Ballin up and bettering their record. go bulls and go caruso
He's 32? For some reason I always thought he is 26 or something I didn't know he's as old as Harden. Maybe its because I still remember his dunk contest.
They were both drafted in the same NBA Draft Class back in 09. James Harden was the 3rd overall pick for OKC, while Demar DeRozan was the 9th pick in the draft for TOR. Both players were born in '89.
I love d wade and Tracy but it’s so obvious how different the type and level of competition was in Shaqs era seeing how competitive he and chuck are over every little thing lol
Mac was also drafted in the 90s. He's seen his fair share of bully ball and heavy competition.
And why demar not in the mvp conversation? Team been in and out hurt he hit game winners and team tied for #1! That’s interesting 🧐
My boy going off bulls made a great pick
TMac's 🌹🌹🌹🌹's can't wait for Friday night's Iverson/McGrady top 10 💯
He is imo an mvp candidate.
Demar is an MVP candidate for real
WAUKEE BABY!!
Last yr everyone was saying he was washed up and close to retirement🤔.
Once he got the Preying Mantis hair and the spliced up threaded Eyebrows....His confidence went way up
regular season demar at it again.
Bulls get no love. But that's about to change!
Please keep T Mac on Tuesday nights. Sorry Candace, way more interesting to hear T Mac’s thoughts on things
Damar is doing all this without Zach LaVine, Alex Caruso, and Lonzo ball
