DeMar DeRozan on Zach LaVine and Bulls’ unselfish mentality: “He was trying to force me to get 40 tonight and I told him I was tired.”
DeMar DeRozan said Nikola Vucevic texted the team right after the victory as part of the Bulls’ group chat.
I’m really glad my recruitmеnt pitch to Demar worked
DeRozan cited people calling him "washed" in recent years and questioning his fit with the Bulls as motivation for his renaissance this season.
"I can go down the list of just being counted out, being looked over," DeRozan said. "So many chips that's on my shoulder that I carry. And just wanting to be a winner and wanting to enjoy this ride. We can't play this game forever, so I want to get as much as I can out of it."
Even in his 13th season in the NBA, at 32 years old, DeRozan is proving that he still has plenty left to contribute to a winning team.
"I never looked at age as being an issue," he said. "I never looked at it. People put the age limit on everything, and I never did. The way I worked, the way I take care of my body, the way I prepare, I knew what I was capable of doing. I just took different roads the last couple years of playing basketball, trying to do the right thing, figuring it out.
"This time, just knowing my ability was always there, I never lost confidence. I never thought I couldn't be who I was before. Chicago allowed me to completely be myself."
