People on this board sell DeMar short on his athleticism.
Sure his first step isn't the greatest, but that leaping ability combined with incredible balance and body control, takes an elite level of athleticism.

Wow, I was wondering why the highlights were all old clips.

Derozan's progression as a player has been a treat for us fans, and way too many people take what he does for granted. Even just from watching this clip, you can't help but notice how much more his overall game advanced since then. This version of Derozan feels like ancient history already. Barely recognize the guy.

I remember in this rookie year, his only move was the spin to the basket. Now he has one of the best handles, offensive arsenals, and footwork in the whole league.

Calderon and Hedo have been throwing that long underhanded pass (and an alley-oop to boot) long before teodosic's "amazing" underhanded pass became a thing

Derozan's handles really have come a long way. I dont think he had any above average skill by NBA standards in any area coming into the league. Just pure work ethic and determination have made him what he is today. Pretty amazing.

Geez - 1229 and1s? It must be. I don't recall anything else that would compare, but then again I don't remember this video either. That was posted at the height of the We The North wave. This place has bled away a lot of posters in recent years ue to the constant feuding between increasingly polarized tribes, so I doubt anything else will come close.

Crazy, I didn't think mirrornick had that many burner accounts.

The interesting thing is you can click on the post which displays all users who and1'd and 1,228 names are there. I've clicked on a dozen or so and they are not fraudulent 1 post accounts.

Yea that is a crazy And1 number on that post lmao amazing.

Video is really good, really hits home how much of an end of an era it is, but also how long Derozan has been with the Raptors. Didn't really appreciate it that much when it happened recently, but this guy did a ton for this team.

Raptor for life.

Meh, sure he had good moments. Where are the highlights of his defensive abilities.

It's no longer about Demar's greatness. This is about RaptorPride's greatness. 1241 And!s for one post. Bow down ballboy, and pay your respects. Just kidding :wink:

A lot of Spurs fans, myself included, are already pretty excited to see Demar play and to see how he gels with his new team. Losing Kawhi, Manu and Parker all in one summer is obviously incredibly sad but for the first time in a while this feels like a truly new beginning for the franchise, which is exciting and kinda scary in its own right.

This was a good video. Nice job OP.
