Complex: What do you like most about living in Toronto and your time here with the Raptors?
DeMar DeRozan: The diversity of the culture within the city is definitely awesome. I think it really brings out the difference in Toronto compared to any other major city. That is one thing I definitely appreciate and I’m seeing it grow at the same time.
Complex: What was your biggest adjustment moving up here to Toronto from Compton, California?
DeRozan: The weather, by far. Still to this day it’s an adjustment. In my first year here, I was wearing Chucks in the snow. I didn’t know any different. I was wearing a regular hoodie instead of a down jacket. So I’ve had to evolve my wardrobe because of the winter. From November until April, it is definitely different. But that’s the cool thing about it. As a kid you always wish to see snow and be around a real winter, so I guess I got what I wished for.
Complex: What is a typical day off for you in Toronto?
DeRozan: During the season, I spend a lot of time at home. I just relax. But during the offseason, in the summer, I really got out and experienced Toronto. I went to the mall, went to Wonderland, went go kart racing. There are a lot of things to do in the city.
