I was a instant fan of Brandon Roy.. He's one of those "what ifs" that don't get mentioned enough.
Brandon Roy was the man in Portland & Greg Oden is another one of those what ifs
@@henrywitherspoon8064 Yeah, that's another one. Portland had a lot of talent pass thru their hands.. What if they had held on to Z Bo along with a healthy talent pool.
@@Jp-be9xx Z. Bo with a healthy team would've been awesome to see
Beast since he was with the Huskies
Not mentioned enough? He's surely in the top 5 what-ifs of any fans that watch the game together with his teammate Oden. Anyone who says otherwise is either new to the game or just nuts.
Seeing flashes of Kobe in his game. Chicago is fun to watch with Demar, Zo and Lavine.
💯💯💯
czcams.com/video/1UY8ccC5fhI/video.html
Most if us from the city based our game of Kobe's. I'm a tad bit older mines was MJ( I wasn't a fan of Jordan but he was too cold)
It's really so fun to watch the fkn bulls this year. Vuc has been raw too
Don't forget AC!
I love watching Chicago play. Their ability to create shots and play make is almost unmatched.
Highkey one of the best interviews I've seen for DeMar, these OGs really knew what to ask because they knew his history and that's respect and that came through in the interview beautifully
Truth man
czcams.com/video/1UY8ccC5fhI/video.html
Yea they did a great job with this episode fr
💯…masterful interview..
Facts! I've seen alot of DeRozan interviews and this one was definitely the best one.
highkey lol what a stupid fucking term
CANADA represent! And Demar is solidified as a Toronot Legend! We will take him back anytime!
We not givin him to you
@@The_token__black lolll, I know we screwed up. truly miss him, but the nba title was worth it. I hope he gets a ring too, without him, raptors would not even be in that position
man I used to go to Caribana every year in early 90s...
DeMar's great, so happy to have him here in Chicago. And good to hear that mental health discussion towards the end, let's keep normalizing that sort of talk.
If DeMar can bring the Bulls a championship & do it since Jordan/Pippen have left, that will put him in the Hall of Fame.
the mental health thing will be his greatest legacy. player 20 years from now are gonna be thanking him for the culture change. maybe in all sports tbh.
Can anyone from Compton tell me if DeMar has a mural around the city yet? I mean .. 13 years in the league, multiple allstars, currently playing his best ball and all while repping Compton from the moment he chose Compton High over bigger schools until now as a millionaire. Give the dude his flowers.
I moved to Compton 3 years ago ! Originally from Long Beach...lmma look and ask around I’m almost sure they don’t have one ! Bro they don’t even have one of Dre or game or even dj quik ....bro Long Beach don’t even have one of snoop dogg!
Truth
czcams.com/video/1UY8ccC5fhI/video.html
@@giovannigarcia7616 nah, we have a Snoop mural. It's around Pacific and 23rd Iirc
@@NiqueAngelo ok !damm ! I have never seen it I only seen the Jenni Rivera one right there by Long Beach city college!
@@NiqueAngelo imma have to go smoke one around there !
Vince helped put Toronto on the map but DeMar and Kyle got Toronto respect. Watched DeMar grow up here, he will always have the love from the fans and the city. Big up Knuckleheads for this one!
demar derozan will be a hall of famer, mark my words, really is showing that with the bulls, few more all star and all nba nods will be hard to deny him. hope he gets that chip too. Mr I am Toronto
@@VictorLionsTV thats true and I hope so.
Nah. I like DeMar but unfortunately, he doesn't have enough accolades or even impact to be a HoFer so don't stretch it.
@@s_ame1135 i think he will, depends on his bulls run. he makes the all star team 3 to 4 more times and a few all nba teams, hes in. my man made a point, how the hell did TMAC get in LOL
@@amritbajwa5607 McGrady is a 7x All-NBA, 7x All-star, 2x scoring champ, 1x Most Improved Player award, and 1x Olympics Gold. DeRozan only has 2x All-NBA, 4x All-star (5 if we count this year since he probably will be there), and 1x Olympics Gold. McGrady also impacts the game outside of the US. He's a legend in China where billions of fans watch the game. That alone is enough to nominate him in HoF (just like Yao Ming). Don't ever disrespect McGrady and doubt why he's in HoF by comparing him to DeRozan. He deserved it more than anyone in there. If anything, DeRozan's nomination in the HoF will be controversial if his only contributions to basketball are mediocre at best. McGrady's HoF probability is 95.5% whereas DeRozan only has a measly 7% according to Basketball-Reference, a reputable site for basketball records and stats. It would take DeRozan at least a ring and a Finals MVP to even have a case. For comparison, Lowry has an 86% probability when he won a ring but to be fair to Lowry, he has enough all-time franchise records and other accolades to be nominated in the HoF but it will surely be lower if he didn't win a ring.
@@s_ame1135 hear your point, but demars in year 12, having his best year, lets see what he does the next 4 years. if he adds more all star reserves and all nba teams, heck even a nba title, which is bulls keep playing the way they are, could be possible. Demar has a shot, your acting like its impossible, ps demar has all the all time leaders in the raps too, just to add that in, he will be a 20, 000 plus scorer too, and no offense to TMAC, Demars had way more playoff success then him. TMAC never got out the first round.
Here after he hit 2 game winners after back to back games. Happy to see him thriving with the Bulls
One of the few athlete’s I hear giving his dad credit. Big ups.
Facts man, the single mom sob story gets a lil old
@@licoricelaces4205 statement was to be applied where it fits
Demar is playing with extreme confidence this year…i think the bulls are gonna make a deep run in the East this year 💪🏾💯‼️
Demar really deserves it !!!
For real !!
czcams.com/video/1UY8ccC5fhI/video.html
2nd round AT LEAST with the potential to go to the nba finals
People here saying he’s not a playoff player he has only ran into one problem just like the rest of the league and that’s Lebron James, bigger, stronger, better than Derozan and the rest of the league, that’s why they call him the king, and perhaps the greatest of all time in modern history, so you cannot say that he flops in the playoffs, Lowry went through the same thing and yet he doesn’t get the hate that Derozan does, I think Chicago has an amazing player at their hands, he was robbed off a dunk contest and allstar, he should’ve won that dunk contest and also became an allstar, he’s also a gold medalist
Agreed
"And my city love me like DeMar DeRozan" - Toronto STILL has so much love for DeMar. At every Raptors game, guaranteed to see a DeRozan jersey in the stands.
Chicago Bulls basketball is back baby. We rocking with Zach, DeMar, Zo, AC, Vooch! But DeMar is ice cold man, he got that midrange on lock with a nasty jumper, I see a lot of Kobe’s influence in his game. 4th quarter DeRozan is a straight killa ❄️🧊🥶 Bulls fans been waiting for a solid team for years man, it’s a breath of fresh air 🤞🏼
Celtics fan but im glad the bulls got a good team again. The d rose times vs the celtics was great
@@KingJohn301 hell yeah
Heck yeah fam !! GO BULLS! Chicago all day everyday baby ! We back !
@@KingJohn301 The Bulls and Celtics had arguably the best playoff series of all time, so many overtimes. I remember I was on the westside of Chicago at a sports bar and the Celtics eliminated us from the playoffs. The mood was real sad, except for these 3 black guys and 3 white guys from Boston celebrating with their various Celtics jerseys on. Some of our fans picked a fight with them and every last one of those Boston boys could fight lol. They held their own against 10 or more of our fans. Everybody gave them their respect and someone ordered them wings, pizza and a pitcher of MGD. Those Boston boys are built different lol
Thank you Toronto and San Antonio.
Love,
Chicago
We miss him so much here in Toronto 😭😭 Enjoy his talents to the fullest!!! I'm cheering for Toronto, Miami and Chicago these playoffs!
Darius Miles is a real fan and student of the game. Frfr
I’m from Toronto and We Love Demar No Fucken Cap We wasn’t happy about the trade but had to live with it he the greatest Raptor Ever!!!
Almost sprained my thumb clicking on this notification, what’s good KH fam🔥🔥🔥
On God
On me
😂😂😂😂
********get Derrick Rose on the show! I know he don’t do interviews like that lol but I’m sure y’all can make it happen. Great show as always. Keep with the timestamps and content. Salute from a real south side cat.
Yoooooo they is a must!!!!! Isn’t Q from Chicago too
@@georgeac2995 yes he is!! This is a great time to interview him too. He’s been the MVP the most athletic guard of all time arguably i would say he is. His speed acceleration first step power was unmatched and he has finesse and extremely high skill level. They used to do articles on him damn near every week of high school in the sun times about how athletic he was and overwhelmed people and his unselfishness etc. He has had his legal troubles and injuries and bounced back greatly this is a great time to interview him. I’m sure they can get him on the show. I keep refreshing to see when they have that interview lol.
spurs really helped demar become a more complete player. He was basically a point last year and carried way too much offensive responsibility, this year he is surrounded by weapons and taking advantage of them completely
Absolutely. Before that he was only known as a slasher and dunker. Then the spurs made up a triple threat guy
Bulls play Spurs 01/28/22. Hopefully Spurs fans will cheer DeMar unlike they did Kawhi.
@@MikeJones-pf4wd Man Derozan fought for that team thick and thin
Spurs fan here…. We love and respect Demar here. We are a small market so the love is not as obvious as say Toronto or Chicago but San Antonio loves Demar.
@@creydadj a mid range shooter then a dunker
Demar is built for the finals stage. Warriors VS Bulls 2022 NBA Finals.
Cap!!! bulls are cheeks. They gonna get exposed in the playoffs
DeMar was the reason how I became a Raptors fan. He made the team great and to enjoy the game. That dunk on Boucher was good. I also like the dunk Tristan Thompson
🇨🇦 will always love demar no matter what
I've been a fan since he was coming out of USC. He's playing the best ball of his career. I'm so glad for this brother. Them bulls looking nice mayne. As always great job Q and D, yall cats killing the game.
His best ball was played in T.
Your just hearing about him now because of the US media bias. He’s a great player now but he was insane a few years in Toronto.
Canada is the place to be hommie
@@ActiveRehabMobility This is without a doubt his best ball. Has he ever been mentioned in MVP conversation before? This is his best ball. He's an elite scorer and a great secondary playmaker which he was not in Toronto. Being in San Antonio really helped him develop his playmaking skills. He's fully rounded out his game. Yall niggas just talk to talk. P.S. you probably never even saw him play at USC.
People here saying he’s not a playoff player he has only ran into one problem just like the rest of the league and that’s Lebron James, bigger, stronger, better than Derozan and the rest of the league, that’s why they call him the king, and perhaps the greatest of all time in modern history, so you cannot say that he flops in the playoffs, Lowry went through the same thing and yet he doesn’t get the hate that Derozan does, I think Chicago has an amazing player at their hands, he was robbed off a dunk contest and allstar, he should’ve won that dunk contest and also became an allstar, he’s also a gold medalist
Two game winning buzzer beaters two nights in a row. Love to see it from him.
That 360 dunk he did in the Olympics is the best missed dunk of all time lol
No it's not. Vince Carter off the backboard from Ed Cota at UNC
@@TheRealBigManHarris na
@@richierich4330 It's an exhibition game against a Chinese player so I don't think there's real pressure. The best missed dunk of all time is Vince Carter against Tayshaun Prince in a game against the Pistons. He almost did it but Prince contested. He's also known as a great defender so there's real pressure right there. OR as someone said above, Vince Carter dunk off the backboard. You can feel the electrified environment while watching it so the disappointment is real when Vince missed it.
Demar always been a real one, just glad now everyone can give him the respect he deserves!
Demar is a lead by example type of player. His work ethic built toronto to a championship team. He has taken that mental leadership to Chicago now and they see it full force. This man deserves a chip more than anyone.
This guy deserves to be an Hall of Famer😤I appreciate what he has done to the city of Toronto and country of Canada for making the game bigger
Man, it’s good to hear B Roy get is flowers. He was going to be one of them ones.
Washing dishes now finna make pancakes was looking for something to watch thank God this popped up
AYOOOO.. TWO GAME WINNERS AFTER DROPPING THIS VIDEO DROPPED IS INSANE 😈😭
who’s here after that game winner against indiana
Absolutely ridiculous lol
Rewatching this after he just hit 2 game winners in 2 days. King of the 4th!
Two buzzer beater game winners since this video came out. Straight outta Compton
As a 25yo Raptor fan, hearing Demar saying nice things about Toronto like him becoming a man in the city, made me feel like I grew up with him
DeMar's historic run only helps the Knuckleheads Podcast.
Demar DeRozan for MVP.
DeMar is my guy bro. Killing it for my bulls this season but I've always been a Derozan guy, his play style is beautiful and he's the realest dude fosho
Every time DeMar says “Nahmean?” take a shot
Absolutely love this man as a human being!
Who else is here after his back to back game winners!
DEMAR YOU THE MAN !! Chicago is blessed to have you on the Bulls. Saw you and Zach win in Chicago vs. Atlanta before you hit 2 game winning buzzer beaters. Let’s win a championship!!!
CHICAGO SHOULD BE PROUD 👏 THIS A TRU 1
Man Im a bulls fan so i obviously love Demar rn, but I never knew how down to earth and just a likeable guy he was until this interview. This interview made me love Demar and also Kobe as a person.
DEMAR DEROZAN!!!!!! He did it Again!!!!!!!!!! 2022
He's having an incredible season. MVP candidate! Bulls are really looking up.
Demar is extremely under-appreciated. Love his game a lot, he got that dog in him frfr
Here after DeMar hit back to back game winners in 2 days over 2 different years.
I’m a young man from Chicago n I love Demar Derozan cool calm and collective humble and is playing great basketball for the city 🏙 you can tell Kobe 🐍had a big influence on him also real gonna recognize real💯
Two game winners since !
Realest and most humble dude in the NBA get that ring bro u got it
DeMar is balling with the Bulls this year I'm gonna all star vote 4 him to be a starter out East
Greatest Raptor of ALL TIME
2nd greatest...the guy who turned Toronto into a basketball city, and Canada into a basketball country, who also inspired all your favourite players in the league now...he's the greatest raptor of all time. But Demar is that nigga!
DeMar the best thing to ever happen to the Bulls ..everybody doubted him and now they have to eat their words ..keep ballin out DeMar cause we getting that ring !! Let's gooooo! GO BULLS!
demar is the patron saint of toronto basketball
Played against that P Miller Ballers squad with Demar, Romeo, Brandon Jennings, Lance Stephenson, etc in 8th and 9th grade. They were TUUUUFFF! Demar wasn’t known as the best player. He was like 3rd or 4th best, but I always felt like he would eventually be the best one. My team was trash, but I’ll never forget those games. First time, I dropped 23. Romeo had 18. We guarded each other the whole game. But we lost by 20 smh. Brandon Jennings had like 35. Next year I had 25, Romeo had 22 or 23 I believe. Jennings had 40 something smh and we lost again. Don’t remember by how much but it felt like a blowout. We always got up for those games because they had a lot of talent and we knew who they were. Glad to see him shinin and playin some of the best basketball of his career this year! Especially as a Bulls fan. Gotta love it! Keep killin em boss 💪🏾!
DeMar just became one of my favorite NBA players. show your heart allows others to know its ok to do so!!! WORD! respect gents!!
I like how dmiles always seems extremely interested in the answer he receives from his guests. It makes the podcast much more authentic.
He deserves a ring bulls are the most fun team to watch
Should have way more views. Demar is just such a beast.
I've said it before and I'm a keep saying it; "this man can ball with the best of them"
People said when he got traded from Toronto, 'he had to go', 'bad shoot selection', etc.... Miss me with that!
This dude is sick, and people are seeing his ball game now like it's something new, like what!!??? Saw this coming like the sun rise! Just greatness only getting better!
All the best to you DeMar! Always a fan and always thanks for your hard work in Toronto!
So happy for Demar this year. His game is flawless. Best mid range / driver in the league. Now he's throwing up assists that would make his buddy Kyle envious.
Merry Christmas to you and your families and happy new year. Keep on grinding the Larry O'Brian is within reach for your Bulls
He doesn't get enough appreciation of how incredible his handles are. He has the ball on a string.
Demar & Zach are the Best Duo in the NBA. Can’t tell me anything different 😤
Having DeMar in chi still hasn’t sinked in 💯
Class and humility.. he the realist.. if DeEeeboooo don’t get MVP.. we riot!!!
Love you and miss you as a Spur DeMar. I am happy to see you shining with the Bulls.
Toronto will always have this mans back - for life.
Its nice to finally see Demar getting his respects
Yall dont know how happy i am to hear demar go.. he blocked my shot like 3 times and i took offense to that. You can tell he is carrying that mindset this season
I believe that being under Pop helped him expand his game
Demar derzoan to my favorite player to watch a lot the best mid range ever
This was fire, man. Run this back ASAP.
Derozans been my favorite player his whole carrer i watched him grow into a polished vet super underrated to the avarage fan
Love you guys great interview 🔥
Not just the city but Canada, I'm not from Toronto but I respect and love DeMar
Demar been one of my favorites since he got to the league. I’m soooo happy he’s on my team now! Go Bulls.
Man I’m from Toronto and I couldn’t be more happier for my boy
I'm gonna love this guy forever
Chicago Bulls look great. Finally excited again. Go Demar and company!
One of my favorite SGs ever !!
See Red!!!!!! We Love you in the Chi Demar. MVP
Lets go DeMar! I’m embarassed that nobody thought of DeMarvelous when you were in Toronto.
demar making it to the hall of fame
7% probability right now according to basketball-reference. He needs to win a ring to even have a case. lol
Wow I didn't realize this was right before his 2 buzzer beaters. Y'all can't tell me that this interview didn't help his confidence even more to make those shots. Incredible interview fellas sorry I just got put on this show 😂
DeMar DeRozan is a beast 💯
What a great interview.
Props to everyone involved.
"Who put the ball in your hand?" Loved that question. Also liked that they pointed B Roy for his amazing talent. Reminds me of Durant's game.
Great interview! I’m a Bulls fan and embarrassed to say I never really paid attention to Demar before this year. Q&D definitely did their homework, but it’s really cool to see the perspective they have as NBA players. A lot of the questions no one else would be able to ask because they wouldn’t have that perspective. It’s cool to learn more about Demar and I’m really looking forward to seeing how far he and the bulls go this year.
Great player.
Been saying my boy played like Kobe since Toronto so happy more ppl see it now
I've watched so many of these and I really, really REALLY feel the most entertained and illuminated by this one! Props to all 3 guys for one hell of a conversation and really happy for DeMar!
This is definitely my favourite episode of the podcast the way he keeps it real and all the laughter it's truly contagious you can tell how much fun you guys had on this one anyway all the best stay blessed
Respect and love to Demar!!!
I loved this interview! Great questions
26:35 this genuine moment of laughter is dope to see.
Yall coming with it this season
Great interview.... and yes DeMar, we know what you mean!
😂😂
On my life, I started to get pissed-off from all those "You know what I mean".
@@stipe_ramo Demar “And Thats the crazy thing” DeRozan
Man I luv this dude he a real one glad he’s in Chicago with Zach ballin
This is the best interview so far. Good job guys.
Y’all the real 🐐 of this podcast shit. Y’all real genuine people. As a raptors fan, seeing y’all have your knowledge about Toronto is huge. Nobody wanna give our city the recognition they deserve so hats off to y’all!!!
Just heard about his rapping on this show. Love what yall doing Q and Blackest One. Man yall both have grown right before our eyes. Literally!! The song jam too. Shout out to Demar
My fav player since his rookie yr
Great interview and round table. I’ll be waiting on that album.
