Draymond is talking about wanting to see a therapist but what he doesn't know is he's already speaking to one cos that convo in itself was a healing session and this kinda reminds me of that passage in the bible that says 'confess your burdens to each other that you may be healed`. Big ups to DeMar and Draymond 👏

Just want to throw this in here, but this podcast was recorded (presumably) before the 23/24 season started, or very early into the season. Since this, Dray started therapy this season during his suspension and has talked about how helpful and insightful it's been for him.

u know demar respects green if he telling him personal info like that goes to show how dumb nba fans r believing anything they watch from the media. Green gets a lot of respect from hoopers.
DeMar showing its bigger than basketball We appreciate u fr

Demar Debo DeRozan is a SOLID DUDE. As a Canadian and a Raptors fan he was my 2nd favorite Raptor but after listening to him being vulnerable and open about his mental health and therapy, he's became my number 1 Raptor ALL TIME.

As a fellow Canadian and also a raptors fan I've been saying this, he's the GROAT for me because after CB4 left HE manufactured winking on Toronto, he had to work like crazy on himself to make that happen, and only after he did that Toronto started winning a little and people decided to give it a chance Kyle is seen as the best just because he stayed, and why did he stay? Cuz the spurs didn't want him. I love Kyle don't get me wrong but Demar man! Thank you for everything👊🏿 I know we'll meet someday and I'll be able to tell you that face to face.

Both Demar & Kyle are it & it's perfect because their names will always belong together 😉
The part about being traded unexpectedly while your pops was seemingly dying and having your daughter the day he was buried and having to play a game that same night... That's a different level of tough. I really love the fact we get to see you open up more demar and I hope this will be a little like therapeutic for you brother. I'll definitely be watching every time y'all drop
Draymonds opening statement about your relationship made my heart melt🫶🏻
Don’t care what yall say draymond a real nigga he a kind human being and so with Demar I’m glad he opened up and spoke

Man I was thinking the same thing. Say what you will but Dray has a lot of relationships w/ dudes In the League who say the same thing about him. He solid as hell. He’s obviously a real one and the media paints this narrative of him that ppl just attach to.

For real people never reach out to me how I am doing but I always have to ask everyone else
I did not know much about Demar as a person until I saw him on Draymond's podcast and really liked what I heard. What an inspirational dude. As a sixty four year old white dude from the Bay Area my circumstances growing up might have been different but my love of basketball was a language all to itself that helped me meet so many people. My role models on the court were first Kurt Rambis and second Dennis Rodman as I had a passion for setting picks and blocking out amongst other attributes. It's the little things that don't hit a box score that bring victories and both of you get it. In this Tik Tok era people tend to judge people on their best and worst moments in life when in reality there is so much in between that truly defines you as a person. I remember times on the court where I got so pissed off about being undercut that I picked a dude up and pinned him against the wall and told him next time would be his last time. If that was the only moment you ever saw of my life you might thing I am crazy. People that haven't participated in a competitive game don't realize what passion can bring out in a man or woman.

When a 64yo dude says it's the tik tok era and not the post-pandemic economic recession/regional conflict area... ah fuck I see what you mean to quite an extent tho. Don't even use the app personally but I can see the impacts it has on people both online and even in person
Nice to see Demar open up. Also nice to see someone shed light on Draymonds true character
This is great. Being an ex-pro athlete. We didn’t have an outlet like this to express ourselves. Athletes are seen as superheroes sometimes, and people must realize that we go through things emotionally.
This show is going to do numbers. Especially this one with Dray. NBA players are HUMAN. Legit conversation!
So happy this is a series man, all of 🇨🇦 loves ya Demar ❤️
Appreciate the present and past players having podcasts (Dray, Demar, PG, Bev, JJ and etc.). Gives us a glimpse of their world within and outside basketball. Much thanks and respect to all of you and keep pushing the social platform boundaries.

Draymond!!! A huge reason for the warriors success! Passionate to the max!
The black and white was a very good decision, whoever suggested that is good at their job.

Sending love from Toronto. Always appreciate you Demar
Demar this goes so hard. Keep spreading the word, dudes all over the world NEED to hear these messages you're putting out there
I love how DeMar is letting himself be so vulnerable, this show is 100% going to help others ❤
Most underrated star in the league, love from New York
Keep this up DeMar! You're saving several lives by doing this and helping so many to get help and therapy or proper treatment for support in treating and taking care of their mental health. Very powerful and inspirational all of this DeMar and love you lots for doing it and continue to create more effective awareness on mental health🙏🙏
I am happy Lil cousin, for using your platform to discuss real things that isn't spoken about in our family & community. Love You ❤️.
This is incredible Demar! My 11 year old daughter is a full time hooper and the biggest bulls fan, we watch every bulls game and she learned how to draw fouls by studying you! So glad we found this channel ❤
DeMar, this is such a great idea. The dinner table is underated in our society, but it's something that can greatly benefit us. It gives space to talk, be heard, communicate, and be seen. One things I've learned is we know the light because of darkness and vice versa, being grateful and patient with ones self is vital for growth. Much respect!
DeMar will forever be my GOAT.
I’m glad I got to see DeMar play for my hometown team, the Chicago Bulls. Hell of player on the court and an even better man off the court. Much respect for using your platform to give us these gems 💎

Respect🫡 I am a basketball KZreadr from Taiwan and DeMar is my favorite player since Junior High. Thanks for sharing your experience with us and you will always be my hero 🙌🙌
Your comparison of finding something in therapy like it's a film session is so incredible. You're the best!
I am a huge warriors fan. Considering that this was filmed in 2022 and seeing everything that happened with Draymond and the warriors in the 2023 season, I wonder if things would’ve been different for him if he had went to therapy. It is great to see that he was actually considering it back then. Also it’s so refreshing to see professional athletes addressing mental health and not pretending like they are immune to life’s problems. It’s good for our youth to see that it’s okay to not be okay and it’s okay to seek help to better yourself and deal with your problems. I loved watching this and can’t wait until the other episodes come out!
Draymond Green the realest in the game
My FAVORITE NBA PLAYER WE LOVE YOU DEMAR SO MUCH 🤍🫶🏼
DeMar we love you ❤
Demar you have been my favorite player for a while now I got your signature thank you so much for making my day
Thanks for doing this, honestly. I’m sure it means a lot for many of us. As Draymond said, playing basketball at this point it’s easy, but this, this is hard and brave. Thank you!
Nah this was powerful! No athlete is doing it quite like this. Looking forward to this series!
One of my goals in Life is to have a conversation with DeMar. Off the record on the record doesn't matter just want to have a honest conversation and thank him for his impact on my life. Literally been following his career since his high school days and man what a journey it has been. Proud of you Deebo 💪🏾#ProveEm
It's bigger than basketball, players are human above all else... Thank you Deebo, I really need this.. Please more episodes
Men carry so much on their shoulders regardless of what tax bracket you’re in.
Demar thank you for all the years in Toronto and beyond. You are my favorite play off all time.
Damn, i’m excited to see more of this! DeMar’s voice isn’t really out there like that but it clearly needs to be. What a powerful talk to be gifted the opportunity to witness.
DeMar,is one of my favourite player's. Great and pure hooper,but even more stronger as a person.❤
I’d love to see Drummond on the show too eventually. I think that would be dope
DeMar DeRozan always Delivers! You are loved and appreciated bro
DeMar The Real Diamond in rough
Thank you DeMar ❤
DeMar likes to say "you know what I mean?" & "you see what I'm sayin?" a lot. lol
As a huge fan of Demar, this is officially one of my favorite KZread channels. He has been such a great inspiration for any aspect in my life. I appreciate you Deebo!
Crazy how when u laid back and move in silence ppl are surprised u can hold a conversation lol. Being reserved or “Quiet” just means u only speak to those who matter. It’s clear he feels comfortable wit Draymond and it was nice learning more about DeMar’s story. I lost my father in 2019 so I can relate to that feeling fasho 💯
Love this. Needed this.
Loving all these podcasts from the players 🔥
Love it!
Thank you so much for this
Love both of them❤
