DeMar DeRozan Blog: Score ‘Beyond the Jersey’ Interview

derozan_2D00_minny What’s good fans? Just wrapping up my first pre-season in the NBA. I wanted to share an interview I did with the Holly MacKenzie of thescore.com. We talked about everything, so I think all of y’all will enjoy reading.

HM: DeMar DeRozan, when did you start playing the game of basketball?

DD: I was about six or seven when I started playing ball.

HM: And you were how old when you threw down your first dunk?

DD: I was in the sixth grade when I first dunked. I can’t remember how tall I was, though.

HM: Were you always taller than everyone or did you shoot up in high school and have an awkward phase?

DD: Yeah, when I was in about 7th or 8th grade I shot up to about 6′3″ and then by my senior year I was about 6′6″, 6′7″.

HM: Biggest influence for you basketball wise?

DD: I have to say watching Michael Jordan and everything that he did. That played a big influence on just getting a passion for basketball even more. Growing up, watching how passionate he was about the game.

HM: One of your favourite moments in basketball history?

DD: That’s a tough one. You know, growing up in California, LA was my favourite team, the Lakers. So I have to say that when they won back-to-back, when they had the threepeat, that was one of my best basketball moments.
