I feel like when he got to the bulls we all forgot that in San Antonio he was still carrying a sup par roster to the play in game which is still impressive
FACTS. the most silent 20/5/5 seasons I’ve ever seen💯👌🏾
and the offense was not focus on him unlike Kawhi
so his numbers were not really skyrocketing unless he''s on the heat check
I wouldn't really call the roster sub-par they're on pace to have about the same record this season without many significant changes
@@OK-yy6qz eh, we're 23-36, 13 games below .500 right now. we ended 33-39 with demar, big difference
Agreed. And the way the trade San Antonio made caught him by surprise. I think it's him stating "y'all made a mistake" with how he's playing.
Just remember about our Defense: we lost Zo and Caruso. We signed dog defenders and unsurprisingly we are not great defensively without them. Anyone who actually watched the Bulls saw teams making their point run from Lonzo coverage.
Yeah but his critique was on DeMar as a one on one defender not help defense or overall team defense which is true. Shooting guards go off on the Bulls and Zach and DeMar aren’t the best guarding that position
@@TechHustle101 They are still Average defenders not even below. They are actually really solid off the ball and play lanes really well actually. But yes the On Ball isnt great but they show effort which i appreciate as a Bulls fan.
You are right. Lonzo is the key now. Without him, Bulls is first rounder
For sure you can argue that Gregg Popovich made DeMar DeRozan a much smarter and raised his game even more better than what Toronto ever did
Facts 💯
Thanks for Acknowledging Gregg Popovich and Spurs.
pop overrated, no duncun no trophy lol
That’s true but Toronto had a big part of his development too. Who knows what he’d be like if he got drafted to another team
@@cain7925 Steve Kerr and Phil Jackson overrated lol, no star players no trophies lol
I love Derozan’s game. Old school bball. It’s refreshing to watch a player rake in the midrange and not chuck 3s all game
das why i love him man , i dont know anybody who plays so beautiful like him. it’s inspirational asf
Real man drive and shoot 2s
You probably don’t watch enough basketball if you think all the top players just “chuck 3s” alot of the top MVP candidates right now are great - elite mid range shooters (Embiid,Jokic,Derozan) and a top team in Phoenix has 2 guards that routinely shoot the mid range
@@JeyDub08 Jokic, Embiid all shoot too many 3s. Even Vuc shoots it too much. You’re probably too young to remember great centers like Patrick Ewing, David Robinson, Hakeem Olajuwon all really good shooters but rarely shot the 3. Don’t tell me Booker doesn’t shoot a lot of 3s. He’s averages over 7 attempts a game. You probably don’t remember when nba games routinely ended in scores less than 100. Everyone wants to be Steph Curry in this NBA. Don’t tell me I don’t watch a lot of NBA. Lol How old are you?
@@nicotoscani8270 Tbf Booker is kinda newest 2 points specialist in this new generation, other players throw brick from midrange lol but somehow smooth with 3 points shot.
And you should edit your last question :)
DeMar DeRozan underrated player he needs to step up in the playoffs
DeRozan is clearly having the Steve Nash/Phoenix affect on The Bulls. He deserves the MVP recognition. I hope he can exercise his playoff demons. He’s so much greater than he’s really ever gotten credit for.
His playoff demon is now in the west
I’m glad to see him succeed and excel after Toronto did him like that!! Perhaps it was best for both to move on and maybe Demar would be on a championship winning team someday!! Perhaps that trade was worked best for everyone involved and I’m glad he got to be coached by a top 2 coach of all time!!
To be real if the raptors didn’t win then yeah but they did so raptors fans don’t care if you ask them nut they did him wrong for sure
Well the Raptors won a title after trading him so they don't regret that decsion.
Yeah and Andy is wrong that only Phoenix and GSW have better records since Miami is 1st in the east
That raptors team barely made it through Philly, then played a Durant and Klayless warriors. Idc they have one of the weakest, least valuable rings
@@boy1da81 you’re acting like the bucks and sixers were mediocre teams that Philly team could’ve been a contender if Jimmy butler didn’t leave
It's similar to Chris Paul's first season with The Suns. He came in and instantly improved the team drastically, actually he does that to every team he joins. Yet he was not the front runner.
I think they would have been doing that regardless. They started doing it in the bubble but that defeats the narrative of cp making them better.
@@DAV3RAG3 Nonsense, their peak is a first round exit without Chris Paul - even now.
@@dariusgoatland10 facts I think he did expand their horizons.
True! CP3 was my MVP this year, yet some ahead of him didnt even make the playoffs... Ignorance
How is CP3 even at #4? I love the dudes game but I'm just talking about this year and 14ppg and 10ast. Compared to guys under him, he shouldn't be in the top 10
Appreciate you making this video. Demar is going crazy this season. He deserves recognition.
Hopefully he can contain this momentum in the playoffs.
20 bucks he gona choke in the playoffs lmao
*Maintain
DeMar still Gonna ball in the Playoffs
@@tehbeardedflip8828 If bulls maintain health, Demar wont be under pressure...Demar, lavine, Ball, Vucevic, Caruso will cause some choking on the other side (Embid, Gianis Antetosmthing, Stepphany and co.
Straight out of Toronto and we don't sleep But DeMar is way better than he was back home at the 6ix
Poor Demar Derozan dude is from the amazing 2009 draft class deserves more credit!
I'm very happy seeing an unbiased perspective like this! DeMar got me interested again in basketball for the first time in 4+ years. I love watching his style of basketball 🏀 he deserves the spotlight right now, and I hope he does well in the playoffs 📣 🥳
Ive always said Demar is a beast. He was balling in SA, and I really knew what was coming to him in Chicago. He just doesn't get the recognition he deserves.
i loved watching him in Toronto, but i didn't watch barely any Spurs games. now he came to my Bulls, i watch him every game he plays and..
jfc. this dude plays like kobe. i cant believe the stuff he does
@@r.martinwarnke6184 In SA he developed a lot his playmaking, one thing the video totally ignores. Now that I think of, dude saying that Demar isn't a MVP candidate because he's a one dimensional player is not very well thought. Man is not in the MVP conversation because there are literally better players (Embid, Jokic, Giannis...) and because he's not popular enough.
You can argue that Gregg Popovich made DeMar a smarter player.
I'm not arguing, pop did make him smarter 👍🏼
There is no argument here... Here are some undisputed facts in life.
The sky is blue, water is wet, Pop makes everybody he coaches smarter.
@@Smido83
The sky is blue
Venus is hotter
Pop makes everyone he coaches smarter
That's why Pop is one of the greatest coaches of all time
Facts, but they ley him go, that is tough
i think he really learned a lot in Spurs. That is where his passing/playmaking improved
Getting traded there might be the bad & great thing that happened to him
He was a underrated passer in Toronto but now he knows how to control an offense much similar to the likes of lebron.
I lived in Toronto for 7 years, and DeMar was there almost all along. I’m glad to see him finally getting the recognition he deserved.
I also think a lot of the MVP votes now are Stroyline and how flashy the player is not necessarily “Most Valuable” anymore
i mean honestly i hope DeRozan can carry this scoring momentum to the playoffs for the Chicago Bulls, i'm glad to see him Succeed and do great, after how the Raptors did him like that, it was probably the best for him to move on and for him to be the leader of his own team, i hope he can win a chip with the Bulls tho cause he deserves a ring and i want him to do great
yeah hes not gonna win a ring
Demar has been hitting 3s when he needs to this season, hello? Also he has made a huge impact on this team, this team is tied for 2nd in the conference, the bulls have been hampered with injuries this season yet he's helping keep the team afloat along with the other available players.
Back to back Game winners buzzer beaters were 3 pointers
@@smartperson1119 you're really living up to your name cuz you just proved my point further 😂🤝🏼
DeMar has been crazy. Talking about mid range ability up there with MJ and Kobe this year
This is simply put, the results of a guy who works hard, is in a great system, has great teammates and coaches to bring out the best in himself and others...thats what an MVP is.
It makes me really happy to see Lowry and DeRozan on winning teams even though they both aren't in Toronto anymore, hopefully one of the two make it to the finals
lowry won a ring with toronto already
Love to see more Chicago Bulls posts Andy Hoops.. The Bulls now are really a serious team as compared to the old GarPax.. They are not a laughing stock anymore.. DeeBo is a beast now and show some respect.. Many analyst said he is the worst signing and fit issues with Zach.. Now where are those critics! #SEERED
He’s also an elite passer, an above average rebounder, and an excellent leader on the court. He’s improved defensively also. He may not be as transcendent as an Embiid, a Giannis, a Jokic, etc., but he’s absolutely MVP-worthy this year.
thanks for bringing some attention to us and demar 😭
The Wilt record is insane but I think he played like this in SA, you could’ve made a MVP case for him then. So it seems the record plays a role which I agree should at least consider him today. Great content!
Indeed, the aspect of Derozan's game that improved is his passing and playmaking. This version of Derozan is the San Antonio version. It's just too bad that he did not have quality team mates or those that compliment his skill set at San Antonio. For all of the Spurs' glory in yesteryears, they aren't good now. Hopefully, he can win a title soon.
Midrange shots are underrated cuz many players can just shoot 3s just like duncan robinson, patty mills...
I’m so happy so to see my favorite player getting love this year after the last 3 years.
Demar's making Micheal Jordon proud
As a Lakers fan I hope the Bulls comes out of the East and win the chip they are my second favorite team ever since the DRose era.
@Random Bernese Puppy whatever helps you sleep at night
@Random Bernese Puppy ? What was it he said that indicated he was a lebron fan?
@@MaxAndersonn painful when you think you could've got him but you took Westbrick. I feel bad for lakers fans
Nets will win.
Demar's time in the Spurs was so underappreciated. He became a more complete player in the Spurs. His playmaking and shot selection improved a lot. I am so happy for him that his hardwork showed on the Bulls.
Andy posting another masterpiece on an amazing all star Saturday
Back to back game winners! A historic scoring streak. 28 ppg. King of the 4th!!
He's been dismissed because he got smoked by LeBron in the playoffs
And there's that 6ft white girl who's been in a 2 month slump and listed as 4th in mvp
@@UrKneeguh thank you!
MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT FOR THIS MAN DEMAR DEROZAN HE IS SO UNDERRATED...🔥🔥🔥
As a Blazers fan, I've always been a big DeMar guy. He's ALWAYS been overlooked, underappreciated and underrated. And look at how much he's improved his abilities to hit the shots he was always hated for taking. He truly deserves to get a nod for MVP this year for many reasons.
DeRozen has always been a great regular season player. The playoffs is where he struggles.
He hasnt struggled that much mostly inconsistent
Will see this year, after years of struggling, PG redeemed himself last year
@@markusmahadeo1374 He’s inconsistent because he’s struggles but only in the playoffs.
@@smartperson1119 As long as PG avoids hitting the side of the backboard, then he’ll be fine 🤣🤣
Others do also struggle in the Playoffs and not called "DeFrozen"... I can tell of a chef Who turns to Chiken come playoffs
I’d want Bron or Giannis to win this year but if neither make it I’d want Derozan to have a similar season like Kawhi for Toronto in 2019. Fingers Crossed
They ain’t gonna make em like DeRozan anymore!
Not true, Pop is literally making a defensive point guard version of DeMar, in Dejounte Murray.
I always believed that the trade to San Antonio made him a better player and leader
Love the content Andy. Keep it up
Great video Andy. You summed up my case for His MVP campaign perfectly. So underrated.
Its crazy how underrated he is his improvement is crazy and i would love to see Derozan getting the MVP he deserves it the most no cap
This Bulls season kinda remind me when Jimmy joined the Heat.
Great content!!! New subscriber. Go Bulls for life 🎯🎯🎯
I’ve been watching your contents for years already, I wish you post more contents.
Much love Andy🤙💙
This is what I call among my friends "The Donovan Mitchell effect". He's a good scorer, but he doesn't do anything else at an elite level, which is why when people talk about the best SGs in the league they never talk about him, despite him obviously being one of them
Happy that being on the Spurs molded him to being the best version.
Great Content 💯💯
I would say he is one of the few today who actually understands how to play “the real game”. His ability to find balance when he pulls up off the dribble at different angles mid range before release is key ..and looks effortless
I haven't watched the bulls since Jimmy Butler left but this team has made me a fan again.
Andy Hoops, as a Bulls fan all I can say is thanks for giving double D some love
Absolutely on point!! We're still thinking of Demar DeFrozen subconsciously.. He has to prove himself this post season to at least redeem himself(reputation) and be a legit MVP contender..
He is proving It, the Bulls are where they are solely because of him, and how many can carry that team to the playoffs?
@@javigar133 I'm not against demar and the bulls.. but regular season and playoffs are completely different.. knowing demar played when he was in toronto he was like james harden who always choke.. we'll see...
Defensive rating for Steve Nash in his MVP seasons:
2004-05- 111 (Team's was 107.1)
2005-06- 109 (Team's was 105.8)
DeRozan is at 114, Bulls are 111.8
Here we go. I knew it his D shouldn't be direct reason why he shouldn't win MVP
not to mention Nash had the 3rd highest win shares on his own team one of those seasons
"How can you tell me something I can't do when I know how hard I worked?" - DeMar DeRozan
He is how Wiggins should play when he's in Minnesota
DeMar's defense has improved. I know since I watched him the Raptors. He is an MVP candidate. Only idiots don't know. The playoffs DeMar had no help. All the offensive load was on him.
Derozan should at least be top 3 in MVP voting. And I personally think that he should win. Most of the media expected the Bulls to be a 7 seed or so, not a 1 seed. And this is without Lonzo and Caruso.
Demar has a habit of fizzin out in the playoffs. I will not give him his true credit until I see what he does in the playoffs.
You have to say that with Demar, San Antonio made him a much smarter & more efficient player on the offense side
Andy Hoops appreciate u doing this video for Demar DeRozan man , and legit he should deserve more recognition , and a MVP candidate is not out of reach at all . It’s quite valid
Andy, can you add a playlist on your channel that has all your recent uploads? That would be clutch as hell
Idol andy
Demar Derozan was always underrated and unappreciated in my opinion, idk why in nba2k in Toronto he was like 89-90 something overall in my opinion like a 93 to say the least, people forget he only chocked against leBron, before derozan was chocking against everyone in the playoffs and then it only became leBron, stats don’t mean everything, but derozan in his prime was putting up nearly like Kobe like stats, maybe because derozan was in Toronto that’s why he was unappreciated. not even Kawhi could beat lebron, it took KD and Stephen curry, klay Thompson and draymond green to beat prime leBron.
Kawhi beat lebron tho
A young kawhi beat lebron and sent him home in 2014
And the fact that we have had the most injuries and are still at the top without our 2nd (Lavine), 4th (Lonzo), 5th (Caruso), and 7th best players (P Will) should put him at 2 or 3 AT LEAST
There's never been a question that derozan a baller the issue always was his playoff inconsistencies which is still questionable but I am interested in seeing how far Chicago can go this year especially if they can stay healthy
Tbf he was alway fighting against lebron
@@lightofheaven4381 I don't believe that he had other playoff series where he underperformed like against the nets in 2014,the wizards in 2015 and even certain series Toronto won he had subpar performances in at times.Alot of ppl like to forget Lowry was also trade bait that same offseason but derozan happen to go first so he wasn't the lone wolf for Toronto's failures he just was traded first.So he still has playoff pressure imo
They don't wanna put him in the ranks because before the season started, they were calling this the worst signing so they don't want to admit they were wrong
Derozan has been really getting the shaft in the mvp race. He is solely responsible for where the bulls are. If he isn't dripping 35 a night on insane efficiency then the bulls aren't in first place. When derozen is out they aren't even competitive. Everyone just cares about 1 guy getting triple doubles all the time but that usually doesn't translate into team success. Derozan is doing the kind of stuff mj did. Just be unstoppable on offense and let everyone else fill their roles.
I feel like he probably should be getting more attention for MVP. I don't necessarily think he should win, but I feel like MVP is supposed to go to a guy who has a large impact on his team's success, and I'd say he's up there. Either way, I'm just glad he's playing so well
He's taken the most 3's this season than he ever had in the past. 2 of his buzzer beaters were 3's. Why did you say he doesn't take any 3's so bluntly?
Lol that was an absolutely ridiculous statement and a sour point of this video.
Yeah facts.
I believe in him hopefully with this new team he will show everyone what he’s made up in the playoffs
Great vid, Andy! I still want Jokic to win MVP. But we can't lie that this is one of the closest MVP races ever. I won't argue whoever wins it.
Before this stretch of games I had him like 6th-8th on my mvp ladder but when you have a stretch of games this insanely good and your team is still winning with key players players injured he shot up to 4th behind Jokic, Giannis, and Embiid
DeRozan is the last of the Mojicans. His midrange scoring is a dying breed but, he resuscitated it. And now, it's fun to watch again.
I think DBo can keep this same production up & is primed for a huge playoffs. He’s playing with a chip on his shoulder and it’ll only help getting all our guys back healthy. He’s been holding the fort up and come playoff time he shouldn’t have to carry the load he is right now, but that doesn’t mean he still won’t go off.
Gotta admit that my bulls were playing not very good defensive teams with bellow 500.s record and thats why dmar's numbers are even more fantastic. But what im seeing from Dmar this season is a perform way over the expectations, playing with more confidence, carrying ofensive in the clutch and being very consistent, that and our deep are the reasons why were having a very good season so far, gotta stay healthy
Just got a good idea …Andy do a vid on how much the dunk contest suck compared to its early days lol
💯🔥
The lack of detox an push hurts the nba... mans is balling and gets no love, why would any star wanna go to Chicago?
Being bulls fan i agree to this video..he will not get the recognition what he deserve as long as he cant erase in the memories of the fans that in the playoffs hes defrozan... this season is the perfect timing to prove his self..hes impressive literaly but at the end of the day playoffs victory matter at all..
He played for Toronto and came up small in the playoffs
As a bulls fan this video is very appreciated.
Derozan has broken 2 NBA records this season already, in my opinion he deserves to win the MVP. Back to back buzzer beaters in consecutive nights, never done before. Broke Wilt's record for 35+ with 50+ percent shooting. Top of the Eastern conference. Immediately elevated his team to a championship contender status as soon as he joined the team. Yea, he deserves the MVP this year.
Nice.
Derozan has been grossly underrated his entire career
Doubt demar will cool down he been killin it all year. The 4th Q scoring and efficiency should definitely be taken into account as helping his team win I assure you Bulls not getting to 30 Ws without Demar and all the injuries. Had a G league bench half the year where he's our only option offensively if zach is on the bench. Vooch struggles whole first half of the season Demars carried the Bulls. Come playoff time is what his game is built for now. Half court unstoppable iso surrounded by shooters good luck with that
this team is scary when healthy. hope they get it together come playoff time, it's gonna be fun to watch
He gone get even better once everybody come back he doing what he got to do he carrying us and we been without a lot of players
I was about to call Andy a casual and the second part of the video came
demar ballin man
He is not only putting record numbers and carrying a depleted team to the 1st Seed (cough, GSW cough), he is the best story this year, and I Hope he is rewarded
Man I feel like the fix is in. It’s a style of play thing. They not even acknowledging the man. He’s definitely the MVP. Back to back game winners? All those games in a row over 35ppg? The One seed in the East? No Lonzo, No Curuso, No Levine, carrying the franchise on his back in his first season? The Bulls? It’s a no brainer. What the man’s doing is Legendary. I’ve been neither hear nor there on Demar during his career, liked um, thought he had to play the modern style (take more threes) we were all wrong and instead he doubled and tripped down on his style of play and made it unguardable. He’s the only one who plays like that so Defenses aren’t even constructed to stop that sort of attack and players aren’t used to defending a guard in those spots. It’s remarkable; and at the same time it’s criminal how the voters and media are sweeping it under the rug to push the agenda of the wide open 3 point offense which ironically his play is a beneficiary of as this video detailed. It’s cuz the floor is spaced that he can operate one on one. Is this the counter revolutionary force to the analytical three or drive philosophy? I think so, and they don’t like it.
So happy for Demar plus he’s showing how the midrange is still extremely valuable and always will be. He needs to be a top 3 mvp candidate for me
Then who do you take out of the top 3? Jokic, who plays the statisically best season in NBA history, while averaging 26/13.8/7.9 with 15 Tripple Doubles AND playing his by far best defensive season ever? OR Giannis, who averages 29.4/11.4/6 and is also a DPOY candidate? OR Embiid, who also averages absurd numbers in 29.6/11.2/4.5 while also being in the DPOY race?
So who has to go?
I actually love to see DeRozan play. The closest thing to MJ or Kobe I've seen in ages. But he isnt a top MVP candidate. Cause like he sad in the Video. He isnt top 10 in any other major statistical category except PPG, and also a bad defender.
@@Smido83 Giannis he won it already lol
@@TheTEN24 And? Thas why he isnt allowed to win it again? Tell that to Kareem, or MJ or Lebron... Giannis is already in that category if it comes to impact on the game!
Oh... and we havent even talked about that Kid whos averaging 27.5/9/9 while single handedly carrying his team into a good playoff spot without any significant help! This season has so many crazy performers with ridiculous stat lines... 28/5/5 is just nothing special this year.
@@Smido83 just boring he’s allowed lol
I've watched demar since his toronto days. Dude is a baller but always underrated by media
Lol no one's saying he can't ball, he's a NBA player that's been an all star since 2014-15. The reason the media "underrates" him is because he doesn't show up to play when it matters, there's a reason people call him *DeFrozen*
Seeing this makes me so mad at 2k. You can have 99 mid range with HoF difficult shots and still miss barely contested shots. I tried making a DeRozan build but making these types of shots in 2k consistently is damn near impossible unless you set the slider all the way to 90s😭
Hii Andy from the Philippines
Those mid range shots with such high efficiency will be really valuable when playoff time comes...
As a Toronto fan, I'm extremely happy to see him flourish
Same here man! The only thing I don’t like is that now, everyone is acting like this DeRozan just came outta nowhere and started playing nice, when in reality he’s been this nasty since playing in TO. The lack of media exposure here definitely has something to do with that but I’m happy for him nonetheless.
more recognition come on ppl
I really liked it!
So how would you call the attention he attracts? It is not 'spacing the floor' like a good shooter via potential thread, with or without the ball, it is not via 'gravity' due to hyperactivity like curry... To me is like: he dribbles into the paint, being good there, players know it, then dribbles around the paint even if a bit, being good mostly from the paint is bad, but he is good from the whole paint; so he attracts players there, in closer distance. Is like low range gravity but with intense pull, and from the paint you can drag any player, just getting close enough to him... and Demar seems to be in good shape to run around.
It feels a bit like a camaleon tongue, he needs to go there to glue them away. Camaleon tongue gravity sounds wild af to me, which I think is a plus.
