DeRozan on his battles with LeBron: “He knows, because I’ve said it over and over, that I have the greatest respect for him. He’s definitely one of those players that I can talk about when I’m older, saying, ‘I played this guy’. “

A huge mark of esteem, even though DeRozan has long chained the big disillusions because of LBJ.

During his long stint at the Raptors, Deebo has indeed often suffered the law of the quadruple MVP, and was notably eliminated three consecutive times from the playoffs by the latter’s Cavaliers. Much less intimidated than in the past, he nevertheless managed to pull out all the stops during their last confrontation, like an ultra-symbolic clutch action vis-à-vis their balance of power!
