DeMar DeRozan: “In a lot of ways, I always was screaming out for help, and even with the tweet back in 2018, that was me kind of screaming out for help. Everybody always just thought I was always fine, upbeat, like everything was always smooth with me all the time. And, you know, I think I had just hit my breaking point. I hit a wall. And that’s what led me to be where we are today. So, this book is extremely emotional and tells a lot about my childhood. I wanted to express that more than anything, especially still playing, showing things in real life, in real-time because I’m still going through a lot of stuff that I went through when I wrote the book. There are still a lot of things I’m going through that I’m still trying to figure out and be better in, but for the most part, I just wanted to be an open book.” -via YouTube / September 17, 2024
