DeMar DeRozan: “Yeah, I mean, it’s a year-round thing. For me, that goes back to making sacrifices. I don’t go out. I don’t drink. I’ve never had a drink in my life. Not saying there’s anything wrong with it—but me personally—I’ve never had a drink. Not once. None of that.” “I’ve always looked at it from the standpoint of: my whole goal in hooping was to play as long as I can. When I first came into the league, I used to make fun of all the old heads. I’d be like, ‘Man, why you putting ice on your knees?’ And they’d tell me, ‘Start putting ice on before you need it.’ And I’d be like, ‘All right, f*** it. I’ll do it.’ Nothing was hurting, but I started doing it anyway.” -via YouTube / June 15, 2025
