DeMar is such an inspiration and as a passionate Raptors fan that started at his draft in 09’, it really makes me smile seeing this man thriving and making an impact on others. Thank you DeMar for being a great human and inspiration always love from T.O.❤️

Also fuck Grayson Allen

As much as the Raptors benefited from trading him, is it crazy for me to say that the Raptors did him a favour as well. I don’t see him growing to be the player he is, if he stays in Toronto. I don’t see him ever getting the recognition he deserves unless he left. I love to see it, because I always thought he was underrated. As a raptor fan, people would say I’m biased, but the fact this man is the MVP conversation only validates it.
@timsmotorcyclediary 2 жыл бұрын
The MVP conversation (though deserved) doesn't matter because he's never won an NBA championship. You don't get remembered if you don't win it all. Just look at Karl Malone. He won the MVP twice but most people don't even know this because he got overshadowed by Michael Jordan. He even got overshadowed by Tim Duncan as the best power forward of all-time. Got to win it all to matter.
@subjectively_objective 2 жыл бұрын
