- Our guest this week on The Old Man and The Three is All-NBA player and star for The Chicago Bulls, DeMar DeRozan. His first appearance on the pod was special and this one might be even better. The topics include his love of pick-up basketball, playing in The Drew League with LeBron James, his free agency prior to joining The Chicago Bulls, how certain he felt that he would be a member of The Los Angeles Lakers, his experience in San Antonio which included learning and growing as a basketball player but doubting his relevance in the league, what he learned from Gregg Popovich, the continued trend of player empowerment, his admiration for Giannis Antetokounmpo, why he loves playing with Zach LaVine, what he expects out of The Chicago Bulls in a very competitive Eastern Conference, his growth and experience as a mental health advocate in The NBA, and so much more.
We have a lot of great conversations dropping soon so be sure to subscribe to The Old Man and The Three wherever you get your podcasts to be notified when new episodes drop. - Sport
DeMar hitting back-to-back game winners is a special moment in NBA history not only because it’s never been done before, it’s also because it was done in two separate years, on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. One of those silly insane stats. Not to mention both were tough contested shots with very small windows. My favorite moment of last season.
facts
Also the fact that, I believe it was Kuz, who had just hit the seemingly game winning three the play before! It was like dude hit that and we thought it was over and yet here we are😂😂
Also he had his crazy run in February that set the all time record for most games in a row with 35+ points on 50%+ shooting. That stretch along with the back to back buzzer beaters was more entertaining than most of the playoffs, that was 90% blowouts lol
@@bilbobaggins33 yes he beat Chamberlain’s record, although it’s a highly specific record it’s also emblematic of super efficiency at a high level. For a guy in year 13 it’s miraculous.
Toughhhh shots! Chicago were so exciting at that point in the season
Love Demar and everything he is about , truly genuine person. 🇨🇦 Raptors Fans will never forget him.
Yessir! 🇨🇦
Factsssss
Demar derozan explains his game winner
czcams.com/users/shortsoq7w5XCOj1Q?feature=share
Yeah he’s a legend here.
Spurs fans will always love and respect and root for him as well. He's just a special player and an even better human being.
demar is a hard worker and genuinely a nice guy with a tough childhood but he really is someone the next generation can look up to
a great example of a man.
Demar derozan explains his game winner
czcams.com/users/shortsoq7w5XCOj1Q?feature=share
Way to put it. He’s the guy you want people to learn about when learning what sports can be to someone.
Demar is a superstar without the superstar ego.
My favorite player in the league.
This man was LITERALLY hitting back to back GAME WINNERS for TWO years consecutively 😂💯
Consistency.
When??
You mean two games bro?
@@bigbandz4934 exactly
Cold blooded 💪
I love that this brother casually inserted a conversation with his therapist (like theyre a friend) and revealed he's a thrill junkie. Normalizing this is so dope for the culture.
Demar seems like one of the kindest, most genuine and thoughtful players in the league. this man is a treasure
True I just hate he pretends to be a Girl Dad like Kobe was and is more like Lou Will 2.0 juggling women having babies galore and stuff but whatever...
Great interview.
I hope Demar plays another 5+ years in the league. The man is underrated!
10 plus
He will obvisouly play 5 years minimum. I’m guessing 6-7.
Guy is athletic, good shooter and only 32.
@@jordanlalonde2507 You do realize, not everybody is Lebron, Dirk or Jamal Crawford. Wish him all the best, but 6-7 more years would be surprising..
he doesnt rely on his athleticism as much so I could see him playing long
I was bartending at an old Irish bar in Chicago at the time he hit the second shot on NYD. The place EXPLODED. Might be my favorite sports memory just because of the environment. DeRozan is a legend. A thoughtful dude. Glad he's a Bull.
The Bullshot
This Tommy guy is finally naturally part of this show XD. I remember back in the first episodes when it felt like he was looking at the camera staring through my soul for the entire runtime and not talking much.
😂
Tommy has seen massive growth and you can tell he cares a lot about his craft.
Tommy is GOOD bro. Ev
Hahahah facts. I didn’t know about Tommy but after seeing the work he does he’s got my respect. Has definitely improved in the podcast world too
Just gotta work on that posture now
I thank JJ for doing this podcast.. Every player he brings to do these interviews just make me appreciate that person more. Not just as a basketball player, but as someone that I respect everytime I walk by then, even if they never played basketball. Through these interviews I finally understand the saying "It's more than basketball"..
🎯
DeMar's midrange game is such a beauty to watch. Best midrange game in the league rn
I'd say it's second behind KD
@@therealdakshina1051 Granted, but KD is 7 foot. Demar has to work a lot harder for his shots
@@nickm1094 that doesn't really merit best in the league though, my 10 year old cousin has to work has for his midrange being a little over 3 feet tall do I weigh that in?
I'd say Kawhi and KD>>>>>> but that's it
@@svenstubes more difficulty can = being better. Is steph curry the best shooter cause he’s the best at making wide open shots? No…
Sincerely, one of the best interviews I've ever watched. The quality of questions and the quality of Demar's answers demonstrate the genuine love of the game. Real.
I agree w/ both JJ & Tommy that DeMar has a very natural way of telling stories and is very comfortable w/ who he is now and what he's been through. Endearingly honest and inspirational person who I think a lot of people can identify w/ the obstacles he's faced. Thanks DDR for all the great stories & sharing your experiences so openly w/ genuine humility.
'Honest' I'm not quite sure. He hides a lot. Like for example he has a lot of kids and everybody thinks he's a girl dad but he's not he has a son with gf Shavonti on top of keeping his other bm pregnant. There's pics of him and the boy on social
One of my favourite players ever, such a humble and hard working dude too, not to mention that watching a Chicago game is so damn entertaining every time!
Protect Demar, he’s a gem
❤
Also DeMar is my favorite player because of how human he is. Really inspiring
Same
Demar just has that intangible thing that makes you want to root for him & makes you want the best for him. I admire how openly he shares about his journey. He's so underrated as a player too!! Another awesome episode.
Still missing DeMar in Toronto... Wish nothing but the best, super good guy, one of the raptor GOAT's for all time.
Oh man, finally!
Thank you so much JJ and Tommy and everyone behind the cameras, this is truly a great platform for athletes, to show us that, at the end of the day, they’re just like us, so then we can have more empathy towards them and start to understand more about them.
DeMar is one of my favorite players, so humble, chill, and I now how he feels, I lost my pops too and to hear him is, so warming and comfortable. I hope he gets a ring, with the Bulls.
For someone like me who hits the gym 5 times a week, the mental health is tough because I’m hard on myself when I didn’t do enough at the gym or missed it all together due to being too busy and go thru mental withdrawals. This really helped me relate to those types of issues and glad to hear it.
bro for real i resonated with what they said so much
DeMar so down to earth and genuine. Would've been insane if he had gotten to the Lakers!
DeMar definitely appreciates the whole King Of The 4th Quarter. Bro is just different. GO BULLS!!!! 🖤👑
DeMar is such a real, humble, insightful, reflective person, who is incredibly tensive to listen too … beside being a such a great basketball player, hat off
Such a blessing and a joy to see so much Kobe in Demar
podcast changed my life. never had an outlet for the highest level basketball and insight on life and motivation. this can touch anybody who want's to see the details and process of bettering themselves through different scenarios.
Love hearing DeMar talk, always loved him since his Toronto days very happy he plays for my hometown Bulls 👀🔴
I loved Demar for his kindness, tenderness, generosity, so genuine, and he always gives more than he receives. He will always be in the hearts of the Raptors fanbase. Forever welcome in Toronto, Canada. Love you Deebo.
Wow. That last 8 minutes made me want another hour of listening to you all talk about mental health. Thanks guys, stay keeping it real.
Always excited when JJ posts a new episode. Another great conversation. DeMar is so candid and real and exciting to watch. 4th qtr specialist. Loved hearing all his habits of studying and mastering the small things. RESPECT! 🌹Mr. BuzzerBeater!!
Love how real the conversation got towards the end. Thank ya'll for your honesty - amazing interview!
Deep gratitude for this episode brothers. Massive respect for DeMar even more so after this. Dude is legit. Just loved this
I love that he can still relate to kids (and grown ups I may say), how much it means to them to see an NBA player up close. it means so much
this one flew by, I could listen to like 5 straight hours of JJ and Demar
This podcast is really well done in general one my favorites. You guys always prepare so well and ask great questions it’s an enjoyable listen
Yall were just getting started with the convo by the end of the episode. This is one of the ones you wish was a couple hours long. Great insight and wisdom from all three of yall
This episode was a treat. DeMar DeRozan is my favorite player so it's always dope watching him play. My goal is to one day go and meet him and just chat with him. Truly an amazing human being
This interview was amazing. Demar is so down to Earth, I love it.
Been a fan since his rookie season.
The growth he's had as a player is ASTRONOMICAL.
dude earned it all
Demar been one of my favourite players since he was on the Raps I hope he has another great year this upcoming season
One of our leaders.. hoping for a great healthy year from Debo! #SeeRed
My favorite player, being interviewed by my favorite nba analyst. Love it
My guy DeMar back in the lab baby! Glad he came back here for another interview! Hopefully my Bulls can get things back on track this upcoming season! #SeeRed
I love that guys like DeMar play these summer leagues man. I didn’t know they don’t get paid for that. What a dope dude
I learned a lot about myself through this podcast. Like demar said it's time to double down. Demar is a big inspiration in my life. Great man. Mental health is important as ever. 💯 Bulls look nice
I absolutely love and appreciate so much when I see grown men talking about times that they've cried. The world would be a better place if every man understood that it is okay to cry when you feel like crying. The truly strong thing to do is to allow yourself to feel those emotions and not push them away or run away from them.
One of the most entertaining and genuine podcasts of DeMar. Also so glad to know ESPN signed you another deal. You're an amazing one. We all know that.
My reflex is to comment “fantastic interview” but I caught myself and wanted to clarify and instead say, “Fantastic episode” because what makes these podcasts along with many others so enjoyable and insightful is the fact that it’s a conversation. Thank you for taking the time
Last year was so huge for Demar’s career. Raptors legend, but definitely reminded us all he’s not done yet. Easy guy to root for
Demar is One of my fav players. Always happy to hear my man great show hás always
This was a great episode and being a Laker fan since Elgin Baylor around 1958, the Lakers Fu&%ed Up by not getting DeRozan. Prayers to the people affected with mental health issues. I felt a lot of honesty coming into this episode. Now I'm looking for a Part 3. Thanks Tommy, JJ and Mr. DeRozan.
The ending was honest and transparent. It’s understandable spending so much time mastering the craft for it to be hard to leave it. Great episode!
Thank you again for an awesome interview. Demar, you helped my son, who is a baller over here in Germany, with your openess with having good mental help, not being afraid of seeking help, etc. Thanks again, bro! And, thanks my bruthas with "The Old Man and the Three", one of the three podcasts that keeps me inform and allow me not to be homesick over here in Spain!
Glad Demar spoke so well on Zach he truly is unappreciated just because he’s been trying to so hard with a team that hasn’t had playoff success. I love Demar on the bulls and those two together are definitely my favorite duo.
What’s the time stamp for that? I can’t find it
@@salikakhtar8505 starts at 50:42
@@SupremeClout- thank you!
@@salikakhtar8505 of course!
Damn. Good episode. I love it when you talk about mental health. Humanise athletes, humanise all of us! I feel like I can’t talk about my mental health struggles at work because everyone “works hard” and you just have to get on with it. I put too much pressure on myself too and I work too damn hard at work!
Respect to all of you going through it! It’s a journey!
Best NBA interviews to be found anywhere. Really great getting to know DeMar, both through these interviews and his conversation with Draymond... and deep respect for JJ. He is a great interviewer whose experience as a player and understanding of the game informs every exchange. Great stuff here.
I agree. Absolutely!!!
Love the show. I wish you continued success and happiness. Much love JJ. DD, stay positive brutha. Good luck this season.
Demar we love you and thank you for representing Chicago🔴🔴Let’s go Bulls!!!!
Great conversations, guys. I'm going to need to go back and watch the first one, for sure.
I put this on while I did something just to watch a little bit of it. But love demar so much I ended up watching the whole episode in one go. Great episode fellas
The Old Man and the Three Year Extension
Congrats!!
Demar I watch him Demar I like him. he's a good dude and an absolute beast on the court. that footwork of his amazes me every single time I see it
demar you're always going to be appreciated! rooting for you
DeMar DeRozan's Basketball IQ is insane. Glad to hear him explain why he took that one leg shot against the Pacers for the win.
I just stumbled onto this podcast and it is phenomenal. Great insight into what makes a professional athlete tick.
Jesus I was listening to this while doing HW and only when JJ mentioned that the podcast had been going for 35 did I realize how much time passed. Really good pod for time to fly like that also means I gotta hurry and finish this hw.
Love how DDR gives props to Torrey Craig for being an excellent defender. Plenty of casual fans have no idea who he is and it's a nice gesture to respect the guys who grind to stay in the league fulfilling thankless roles.
I love this interview great job. 👍
Great to see this podcast grow, been a watcher since the start!
Awesome interview, good work everyone. Great content.
Im definitely going to enjoy this episode while I still have power. Prayers for anyone else dealing with the hurricane🙏🏽
Prayers and blessings sent your way ❤️💯
Prayers to u 🙏🏾🖤
let's go, hope the bulls have an awesome season
love having him on the bulls. hope he sticks around
As a Canadian Demar is the reason I love basketball, that 2016 season really is when I feel I love with the game from watching him play🥲
DeMar always has a great interview! Need the Jimmy butler pt 2 now 🔥🔥
💯
Btw shout out to Andre Miller
Wasn't a flashy all-star type of player but was solid af
Played 17 years, finished career with 16k points, 8.5k assists and 1.5k steals. Missed only 6 games in his first 14 seasons, playing 1126/1132 (99.5%) with 33 mins per game.
Made playoffs 11 times and retired only at 40 years old.
At his peak from 00 to 09 he was a 15+4+8+1.5 guy.
Love this guy. Demar a real one!
Would love to see him play next to Bron one time for the one time
I really enjoyed this interview. I appreciate hearing Demar’s insight
Great content. 👍 glad yall are back
This one is definitely my favorite ep Demar is super insightful and a straight bucket
We’re
Love him on the bulls. As a Chi-town native I feel fortunate to have him represent us. However, as a basketball fan in general I'm still sad he didn't go to the Lakers. Imagine how unstoppable that team would be with him there.
Facts, i love that he's here but if he was in LA with Bron and AD he'd probably have a chip right now
@@punszu sure he'd have a chip with the Lakers, but a chip with this bulls team as it progresses would be so much more meaningful
he'd be better than westbrook but if AD isn't healthy they aint winning
I’m a bulls fan, absolutely zero part of me wishes he went to LA…. Gimme a break, lol…
Guess you also wish they then kept Caruso also and we were just trash?? Nahhh
You just sound closet Bron/LA fans…. Bron had choice he made wrong one…. He nixed trade and you somehow feeling bad for Bron? You really on feels for a dude. Lol
Amazing interview once again🔝🔝🔝
Again a masterpiece , really thankful so much 🥰
This my first time watching this podcast and me being a bulls fan my whole life and fallin in love wit demar last year this podcast is 🔥🔥🔥 and definitely gunna be watching from now on 😈🙏🔥
Loved every minute of this podcast
Much love from Canada, DeMar!
this interview was amazing. seems like we know so much more about the game.
Man I hope DeMar wins a championship. Seems like such a good guy.
100% agree that Demar is a great interview & seems like nice dude too
Just had to rewatch that game winner against Indiana love Zach and Vucevic's reaction when he shoots it.
The Soccer comment makes sense. Here in Toronto, the coaches from both Raptors and Maple Leafs often listen in or join in on each other practices. The Maple Leaf Coaches would use Basketball practices to get a better idea of floor spacing and apply that to their game plan. And many of the NBA players who have good footwork, are the ones who played soccer.
My favorite player since USC days.. bro so motivational 💯 I need to meet DeMar one day I wanna do a podcast or sit down just like this 🙏🏼
Aye let’s be real tho if DeMar teamed up with bron & AD they would have been a finals contender easily
So good - best episode yet 🥰
You guys are awesome. Great interview
Loved this podcast. Felt very genuine and DeMar seems like a great lad.
Amazing interview, gotta bring Demar back in another 2-3 years or so
📠
DeMar…great interview, Man! Here’s to a healthy and exciting season 2 with Chicago!
Great Interview ‼️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯💯💯
Thanks for sharing this.
JJ you need to let us know when you drop these videos,I was looking forward for this!another great one
Hit the bell so you are notified
Really great episode with DeMar. I would love to hear more about what it was like for DeMar during that ballislife mixtape release in the early years of CZcams and the internet. Growing up I remember rewatching it hundreds of times.
