DeMar DeRozan Blog: My First Interview with Devlin and Hamilton

demarchron

Wassup everybody? Friday was a crazy day. I flew from New York to Toronto and had my first Raptors media session. I also was interviewed by Raptors broadcasters Devlin and Hamilton for the first time. During the interview I told them why I decided to stick with my jersey number from SC. Here’s video of the interview:

    Yeh it's easy to compare you to Vince Carter because of your athleticism but don't be Vince...be Demar.

    No doubt Vince has skills but he was not a leader. Take a page outta Bosh's book...be a leader not a weiner....oops I meant whiner.

    Remember... the great bball players are remembered not just for their skills but also their ability to lead and be a team player.

    Good luck in T.O Demar, I'm a huge fan of the organization and your game. The cities great and the fans are crazy, trust me I'm one of them. Like someone said before me throw down a huge dunk here and there and the fans in toronto will love you forever. Good luck in summer league and the upcoming pre-season and season.

    Can't wait to see you in the black and red.

    I can see it now....Calderon with the ball at the top of the key, cuts in, looking for Bosh under the basket, ball to Bosh, Bosh with a hand off to DD...DD with a MONSTERRRR one handed dunk...now ladies and gents that's a NBA facial.

  • Francis

    this man is the real thing.....He will make an intimidate impact on our soft team ....Cant wait to see you in action D D..
  • raptorsfanfoeva
    ha, yea. watch out for Cabbie and i guess Gerry Dee. for some reason, Gerry Dee seems to freak me out at times though...
  • MidNight
    Since I've been a Raptors fan I don't think I've ever been more happy over a draft pick. I was happy as hell when GSW picked Curry because I knew NY coveted Hill and when Stern called your name out for the Raps I went crazy lol.

    Welcome to the city Demar, I can't wait for the season to start and to see you in summer league play. You need to work really hard in summer league and training camp, because we all want to see you in the starting lineup come opening night.

    Welcome to Toronto. Cheers.
  • DeMar you got a great opportunity here. Us fans have been waiting for a player like you to rally behind since you know who left. Just keep working because the sky is the limit.

    Your name will likely appear in my blog many times in the future.

    Demar I never been so happy with who the Raps have picked before. I was scared they were goin to pick someone else. I can't wait to check your game out in summer league and then the season. I'm super happy to have u as a Rap!
  • RapsFan4Life
    DeMar ! i hope you have a great time in Toronto, and don't put too much on your shoulders, just go out there and do you best, the rest will follow.

    Oh yeah, once in a while, do a little flying to the hoop for a solid dunk or two, we've missed the old old old Vince Carter Air Canada days.

    i'm looking forward to seeing you playy this upcoming season!
    and ya, like Daoud said, watch out for Cabbie ;)
    he is hilarious
    and maybe Gerry Dee ..they both are hilarious interviewers
    both from The Score :)
    anyways HAVE AN AMAZING TIME HERE IN T-DOT!
  • Brian
    Yup, watch out for Cabbie, he is a funny dude. He does alot of segments with different athletes and Kobe. Hope you enjoy your rookie season, might be tough because of the amount of games and traveling.
  • Sean
    don't be suprised if @ this time next year DD is the face of the Raptors franchise. I think this guy is the real deal DeMar I can't wait to see you attack the rim like we haven't seen in Torontoo for a looong time. as a fan I've just got one request plz dont hold us (the raps) hostage in the last year of your contract by not letting your intentions be known!
  • Daoud
    Sherm Hamilton is great at breaking down the game. When you get to Toronto you will likely also meet Cabral "Cabbie" Richards, who is a hilarious interviewer and has a unique way of doing things. Can't wait for the season to start!
