Diar DeRozan is only nine months old, but she is already helping her NBA
all-star father DeMar grow as a person and a basketball player.
Custom Wizards Jersey .The Toronto Raptors
guard, who will represent the Eastern Conference at the All-Star Game in New
Orleans on Sunday, says he doesnt complain in the face of adversity "because I
know this little girl is just happy for anything.""The suns coming up, shes
happy," the 24-year-old said in a sit-down with TSNs Rod Black on
Tuesday.DeRozan has not always been the fastest, strongest or most talented
athlete dating back to his childhood in Compton, the one year of college he
spent at USC, or his four-and-a-half years with Toronto. But he has always
worked the hardest to get where he wants to be, for his personal happiness and
his familys."(Family) shows you what lifes all about at the end of the day and
thats why I work so hard," he said. "I do this for the enjoyment and the passion
I have for the game and for my family. Everything else just comes with it."I
just want to take advantage of every little moment I can, so at the end of the
day when I look back I can say I laid it all out on the line and tried to be the
best player I could be."If his numbers have anything to say about it, DeRozan is
at his best. He is playing at career-high levels in points per game (22.2),
assists (3.9), rebounds (4.6), steals (1.2) and three-point percentage (31.1 per
cent). Whether he can fathom it or not, hes earned a place in the showcase of
basketballs biggest stars."Its still hard to believe," he said. "Its something
you always dream about it, but once you really go through it, its hard to
explain but its a blessing."Hes also dispelled any doubt surrounding the
four-year, $40 million contract extension he signed in 2012. What hasnt changed
is the humbling nature he credits to his mom and dad, Diane and Frank."Some
people think (Im) kidding when I say it, but I really forget I signed a contract
like that. I really dont pay attention to that," he said. "As long as my family
is happy and Im doing what I love to do, everything else is just a plus," he
said.And although Diar may not know it yet, her dad is telling the truth."My
little girl … she gets whatever she wants when it comes to me."The Missing
PieceOne thing that will be absent from the All-Star Game this weekend is
DeRozans teammate Kyle Lowry. Lowry, who was left off the reserves list, is one
of the main reasons for the Raptors resurgence to the top of the Atlantic
Division.In 36 games dating back to the beginning of December, the Raptors
starting point guard is averaging 17.8 points per game on 43.6 per cent shooting
to go along with 7.7 assists."I really wish I couldve seen him make it too. I
think it wouldve been good, not just for me, but for the whole city, just to
have two guys to go out there and represent, he said. "You look at Kyle as being
one of the best point guards in the Eastern Conference, by far, and I thought he
shouldve made it."On the other hand, DeRozan doesnt think the exclusion will be
a bad thing."One thing about him is hes going to prove his point in the second
half of the season."
