They were traded for one another in the offseason. Essentially a near 1:1 trade the Raptors and Spurs agreed on. How come Kawhi was booed while DeRozan was cheered? I mean Kawhi brought home a title while DeRozan kept choking in the playoffs. Why does he get cheered for this but Kawhi got all the hate?
Kawhi wanted out. Demar wanted to be a raptor for life.
One wanted to leave and the other wanted to stay
If anything DeMar should have boo’d us
Man gave everything for the city
Irrespective of all other matters, that man is the true King of the North
He got his revenge via Diar lol
My ears are still ringing
Bro started watching basketball in 2020
I dont think he actually watches basketball at all.
Great year to start watching
Because one of them wanted to leave and held the franchise hostage by not playing to get his way. The other wanted to stay and got traded.
Cos Kawhi is lowkey one of the divas in the league
It’s not always about the chip.
Derozan wanted to stick with Toronto, wanted to play well enough for people to want to join them instead of looking for a way out, and had, relative to the franchise’s history at the time, experienced success.
And those endeared themselves heavily to the Toronto crowd. Especially since this was the team that had a few major issues with other players not wanting to play for them. (Alonzo Mourning refusing to play after the VC trade, and John Salmons “divine intervention” being the final straw in Bosh deciding his time in Toronto is over).
You compare that with Kawhii’s relationship with the Spurs towards the end of his time there and it’s night and day.
Straight facts, deebo was ride or die for the team and city. and i think a lot of people related to him and his story coming to toronto from LA, no passport and family couldnt visit until they got theirs, he put his nose down and got to work. So mad he couldnt win the chip with toronto, its why he got 2 welcome back videos lmao
Lol
Casual
More like born in 2003/4
DeMar brought his family to boo the Raptors instead and it worked last year.
You gotta be kidding me.
Demar fought till the end. Kahwi made excuses till the endq
Demar is the first star to actually stay and try to win in Toronto but they traded him against his wishes.
Because DeMar didn’t want to leave lol? Like dude was as close to a Toronto lifer as there was.
He gave 10 years to this team and while he didn’t have the best playoff performances, he was still part of the reason why we consistently placed top 3 in the East.
He isn’t a fun huy
