Getting drafted to...
Toronto was the best thing
to happen for my career.
I was home. I went to 'SC.
You know what I mean?
And the reason I stayed home
to go to SC was like, "Damn,
if I go to the league,
there's a good chance
I'm not gon' be home.
So, let me try to enjoy
being home, playing home."
And I get drafted and go
to another fucking country.
(LAUGHTER)
I didn't-- I didn't even have
a passport.
-You know what I mean?
-LEBRON JAMES: You didn't have
a passport?
I didn't have a passport.
-That's hilarious.
-DEMAR DEROZAN: You feel me?
-You get drafted by Toronto,
you didn't even know...
-MAN: I can't go.
DEROZAN: I gotta--
I gotta get a passport, so...
I get to Toronto, winter come,
I'm still wearing Chucks.
-(LAUGHTER)
-You know what I mean?
I'm the only rookie on the team.
So I'm just in the gym
every single night.
I'm about to do what he doin',
I'm doin' what he doin'.
I'm just like doing my research
on everybody.
But, I'm glad I took
that approach
because there was guys
in my fourth, fifth year
still wondering like...
"Damn, like I ain't even been
to the playoffs."
