DeMar is still my all time favorite Raptor! I miss him so much and in my mind, was the reason we won the Chip! If it wasn't for the fact that he is an All-Star and top level player, then we would never have been able to trade for Kawhai. I thank his Parents for bringing up such a wonderful, respectful Soul. And 100% the entitlement is not just about new generation NBA players, is our entire society. Never earned, just the expectation of being handed whatever you want.
Glad to see Debo as a grown man. He's a very humble dude with great loyalty and integrity. He was great for my raptors. He doesn't get enough credit for never being caught up in any BS.
Man I've been watching the podcast for quite a while now, I must say PG has one of the best PodCast voice... as a non native English speaker it's just amazing how easy is it to understand his sentences... he doesn't mumble and does not mesh words... good pacing... he really should consider career in broadcasting
Watching demars career from when he was drafted as a raptor to where he is now i got much love for his game and personality. For real deebo as a young kid in toronto in 2009 watching you grow on the raptors really shaped the game i play with today as a whole adult. Appreciate you demar for keeping the mid range alive in a league that was calling it extinct just two years ago, all while being a class act and humble. If you ever see this just know even if you never win a ring Comp10 will always be one of my favourite players of all time, and a damn good one at that !
DeMar been my favourite player since USC, remembering being 14-15 years old going to youtube and slowmo his clips, writing down points in a notepad on his footwork. Glad to see he's doing well and always proud about how he advocates for mental health. A class act
Man demar is so pure I feel so bad Toronto did him dirty to win in 2019 but we will always love Demar in Toronto he’s the first one to truly embrace Toronto!
@@em9475 Fcats. people don't know DeMar and Amir Johnson used to pull up in the hood every year in Toronto during Christmas, Thanksgiving. bro was handing out turkeys and shi, Deebo will always be loved in Toronto
I don’t know why watching this made me feel like I was in the NBA😂. Butt respect to you guys. I hope y’all both get a championship together or individually. I appreciate the real stories
Damian needs to speak some truth and Podcast P is the perfect platform⚠️ Love what you doing PG you’re a pro and deserve the best, keep doing what you’re doing. 🙏🏽
When Russ dropped 20-20-20 when Nip died and he had that postgame interview talking about he know what 20 20 20 meant, it cemented Russ to me is as one of the greats
i don't want to hear nothing about anybody but DeMar being greatest raptor of all time! when nobody was riding for the raptors he stayed! DeMar forever!
Demar talking about mental health really touched me 🙏🏼 I hope he gets better and it makes me feel better that I have demar derozan on this journey with me.
There's too many comments on here for anyone to read this but this is an awesome conversation man. Just two buddies reminiscing and they just happen to be some of the best players in the entire world.
Dunking in the 6th grade is just crazy lol. I met this Dominican dude in high school who was like 5 ft 6 dunking like crazy bro. It just made no sense how high he used to get in the air!! Crazy part is he didn’t know he could dunk until he just tried one day lol. He didn’t even like basketball, more of a baseball player. Athletic freak and he’s probably still playing in some league. Dude did a crazy windmill after taking 2 steps!
DeMar got such a W mindset & I really appreciate PG showing love to Westbrook. Everyone that actually plays in the NBA never talk down on him cuz they kno what he brings to every game and every team which is hustle and heart
The mental health portion almost bought me to tears men. Majority of us as boys growing up are scolded for showing emotion or it’s brushed off by everyone. Good to see bigger voices like Kevin love, derozan and PG showing that it’s okay to be human
smh thats that young boy talk.. so imma name some guys you clearly never heard of... tracey mcgrady, tracey mcgrady and the last guy umm tracey mcgrady but if we being real add julius irving and young richard jefferson then after them theres this guy you might not know named kevin durant.. the first successful athletic wing who took okc to the finals vs prime lebron
@@mentalprograming5365 na you the youngin don't disrespect scottie pippen, grant hill , shit even Carmelo just to name a few before u say a young Richard Jefferson 😂😂😂 wtf
This really was special P and Debo really gifted guy’s this conversation isn’t forced. I really a fan of this P keep at it bro. My second full episode I saw 💯
This is a very good episode. Especially how DeMar and Paul expressed about the mental health part. Bekause I have PTSD for certain reasons. Great episode
With all the new podcasts coming up lately, this is the only one that made me click the subscribe button. No questions forced. I love when the podcast is real, the discussion was like a group of friends telling stories, you get the different perspectives, you feel part of the conversation and you get those details you wouldn't hear somewhere else.
The section where Debo and pg were talking about guarding eachother is maybe the greatest basketball talking segment in nba podcasting history so thankful to know what it’s like to really be a superstar playing a superstar good shit fellas #BigWinnersCircleSauce
i really love demar's takes and his honesty, his stories, and his values - i respect him sm as a player. i really see how his relationships with others mean sm to him from him just hugging his old coaches after games or just having such good things to say abt every1 in the league. super well spoken too, i really loved this interview and i think a big part is because PG and him have been close for so long lol. I'd love 2 see derrick rose on this
I seen a few DeMar interviews: with Taylor, Serge, JJ Redick and some others. I have never heard him mention half of the stories he just talking bout here freely. His connection with PG is so strong man and the whole podcast is a hit. Keep it going !
Best podcast man, truly casual conversation with unreal genuineness. P and the gang really on one with this show!! Great episode, can’t wait for more boys
Man DeMar said some beautiful man he said "Tell your story, even if it help one person...that's all we can do" Of everybody did that the world would be a better place and i believe that aswell❤
Always been a Demar fan since my childhood one of the purest and realist players we will ever see . Love the Paul Podcast one of the realist in the game . I hope Demar gets the chance to play with the clippers before he retires a great career
this so fire fam as a 18 year old turning 19 this opens my eyes on work ethic a lot fr!! been a fan of both when I was younger ever since the 360 dunk and the as a pacer and playin 2k14 with the pacers man ! felt like I was apart of the group just listening to y'all talk fr! inspired truly!

Lmao hope u have your safe space
This podcast is dope fr,that Kobe story had me crying 😂😂 “don’t ever wear that shit again”
Demar also did a great intwrview with Draymondo Greenberg

We want Westbrook and Kawhi next 🤠
Kawhi don’t want to be on this show. Dude don’t even want to be on the Clippers. Plus his sister going to jail for life.
Need Westbrook on there
@@NotCharAznable he told u that?
@@garlentzjean2457 you aint know? They half cousins on his mama side 😂
Kawhi would never
Bro that “he a good dude” statement is universal. People be trash at they job but “he a good dude though.” 😂😂
Cause they really do be good people just some be wrong …. It was a guy i worked with , musty as hell everyday , but he was a good dude fr
I love this podcast because Paul is so honest and transparent. It feels good to get to know him too.
Get Dame Lillard on the pod that would be hilarious
💪📝🔥👏👏💯💯💯
PG: …I still think it was a bad shot 🤷🏽♂️😅
Dame: 🙄🤣 whatever you say P
🔥😂
he was on JJ Redick's pod a couple months ago. must listen stuff
George: should'a jumped when you side stepped
Lillard: Nah man, Imma just shifted to the other side.
Demar seems like a regular genuine dude! that just so happens to be in the top 1% of athletes world wide

Real shit
DeMar is still my all time favorite Raptor! I miss him so much and in my mind, was the reason we won the Chip! If it wasn't for the fact that he is an All-Star and top level player, then we would never have been able to trade for Kawhai. I thank his Parents for bringing up such a wonderful, respectful Soul. And 100% the entitlement is not just about new generation NBA players, is our entire society. Never earned, just the expectation of being handed whatever you want.
DeRozan is a great motivational speaker. Articulate and well spoken. Much respect and blessings to Debo and P. Keep keeping it real fellas.
Glad to see Debo as a grown man. He's a very humble dude with great loyalty and integrity. He was great for my raptors. He doesn't get enough credit for never being caught up in any BS.
Bruh Paul George is hilarious man need some more!
Ayo
Man I've been watching the podcast for quite a while now, I must say PG has one of the best PodCast voice... as a non native English speaker it's just amazing how easy is it to understand his sentences... he doesn't mumble and does not mesh words... good pacing... he really should consider career in broadcasting
As a Bulls fan and native Chicagoan, I am appreciative we have a player like DeMar. Just a real stand up dude, salute ✅

Demar and PG, two of the realest players in the league. Thank you for this episode, it’s amazing
DeMar and PG, 2 of the most Spectacular Dunkers in this League! I love USC because of Pete Carroll, Reggie Bush and Demar.
This jumped every single podcast I watch into being my #1. Been a PG fan since his rookie year but even more with his generation of ballers.
Mental mind 😂 dope call back !! Banger episode !! Demar seems like a super cool guy

Two reals ones. This podcast is so good because Paul George and his guests are vulnerable and honest to themselves. So great to watch.

Amazing podcast! I wasn't a fan of PG's game but this made me really see a different side of him. All these players are humans after all. Respect!

Most player/media podcasts are overly professional and somewhat boring. Y’all are real and casual while still explaining the game to the uninitiated.
I love how authentic the interviews are
I feel like I know PG and DeMar after watching this. Them some cool genuine cats. Much respect for all the honestly
“I was in palmdale bored as shit that day” damn imagine that 😂😂😂😂 i would have been hurt
True genuine guy, Dorozan. Really enjoyed his stories and personality even from a glimpse
Bro p and demar? I cant wait
