Always great having Demar on here. As someone from Toronto we always want to see him win
demar ❤
Gratitude.
Peace to James Gandolfini.
Casper gave the NBL work…
So excited he’s come to sac 💜 always been a big derozan fan. Glad to get to enjoy him for a few years!
I can’t wait to see the knowledge Keegan will get and fox will get from derozan. I think Keegan is going to benefit the most
Watching Paul George play basketball is like watching Picasso paint a masterpiece 🐐💯
"You know" – DeMar, Love this guy ❤
I think the kings are really gonna be nasty af this year ppl sleepin 💤💤💤
Watching the ball go through the net is very therapeutic
Damn yo Pg really love that word obviously 😂😂😂
Saying Pat Williams is up and coming and hysterical
Yep, Paul George could have become King George instead of allowing Matt George to lay out a claim
My favorite Raptor of all time. DeMar's old man playing style is so controlled and steady and the midranje jumper is the cleanest in the league.
Glad terry was with u Demar, he need those reps💯💯💯
Chris Paul is the KING of that move Demar was showing Juju
People are sleeping on the Kings fr… great coach, Murray and Red Velvet three point threats and three All stars whose games don’t interfere with each other in DeMar, Fox and Sabonis. Monk coming off the bench on some LouWill shit too. They’re tough🔥 can’t wait for next season, competition it’s going to be so high. God please help keep all players healthy 🙏🏼
PG, please bring on DeMar with Kyle Lowry
I love the contrast of that ignorant Yt lady talking about “Shut up & dribble” a few years ago, to players being able to showcase the emotion behind their actions that we love about them because that’s what makes them great.
Can't wait to see this dude on the Kings.
Y’all talking about Sir Dominick Pointer !
Man I always like demar but this podcast made me a fan fr
CC RYDERS IN FULL EFFECT
insanely good show! nice work!
Just came through 4 DeMar
FL SacKings Fan
I really thought you guys were going to do something big in Chicago deebo. It was sad seeing you and Caruso leave. Mad love for what you did for the team.
Demar has got to be one of the most real and transparent NBA players for sure
Dope shirt Delmar!
that mike topic was different. i appreciate the different perspective of MJ
I used to get these two confused with each other 😂
23:20–23:36 is what made me love this podcast episode
W DEMAR MAN JUST GOT HIS BOOK CANT WAIT TO READ IT MAN ALL LOVE ❤❤❤
yo fish tank?
it can be very hard to be vulnerable but at the same time it’s very good to be vulnerable
DeMar is a day to day inspiration of humbleness for me! He`s a great role model!
Him talking about the respect he has for wizards Jordan and Alex English explains so much about his game. My Kings are lucky to have you.
The pod when Jackie isn’t on it>>>
First time tuning in from Sacramento
"Mindfulness" is a good word to describe the process at 19:45–22:00. Super helpful for most people struggling with mental health issues, stressful events, mental illness, etc.
Demar deserves his jersey raised 🙌 in Toronto.🎉 Or least, ceremonial along side Kyle Lowry. Welcome back to family in Cali. God bless
"My youngin', Dalen Terry" LMAO. I'm going to miss Demar in Chicago. Hope he can win one in Sacramento.
