[Johnson] DeRozan on Portis Jr.: “He stared at me. That’s all it takes for me. I don’t care who it is. It could be the janitor in the hallway. Look at me a certain type of way. Like, just play basketball. Get the rebound and play. I’ve just never been a player with the extra theatrics.”

I get guys don’t like getting stared down, and Bobby clearly was instigating by doing that. But isn’t running down the court and fouling Bobby just as theatrical?
This quote sounds pretty soft, especially since he just got laughed at and waved off.
Laughable mentality
He’s looking at me oh no

“Crazy Eyes” Portis’ stare can be a bit unnerving.
“He stared at me” is one of the softest triggers for someone that pretends to be tough.
This is specially surprising for DeMar that has seen some things, you’d that he wouldn’t let a *stare* to get under his skin.
Bobby is always a little over the top. Sometimes it’s beneficial, sometimes it’s not.
At the same time, reacting that way is pretty dumb.
The Bulls played just about the softest most mentally weak second half of basketball you’ll ever see.
Pat Bev got into DeRozan a little bit one time up the court and it was full on meltdown mode from then on.
Who knew there were so many Bucks fans on reddit
Janitors at the United Center like, “come on man, I’m just trying to do my job.” DeMar you are a famous athlete and also one of the largest humans most people will ever see. Surely by this point in your life – 34 years into it – you can tolerate a little bit of staring without getting heated.
The Bucks physically dominated the Bulls all night and all the Bulls did to fight back was get flagrant fouls. At least DeRozan was man enough to go after Bobby. Vuc went after AJ Green instead. Real tough guy stuff from Vuc.
Tough guy r/nba back at it again
Crazy eyes Bobby
Reffing last night, per usual, was shit
is this what lifted him to score 12 points
Someone find all the clips of DeRozan staring down players.
But here he goes with extra… Nvrmind
Obviously the Bulls were wrong for all of those techs and flagrants, but the refs allowed this. Similar thing happen in the Pelicans vs Heats game.
Derozan wasn’t triggered by the stare it was the last straw. Bucks played physical but refs let a lot of blatant contact go. Vuc got fouled like 3x on the possession before he got ejected. Bev gets the second biggest leash on defense.
In the Miami-Pels fight, people didn’t understand why Naji took exception; wasn’t the play Love hugged Zion, but the previous miss call on Zion getting wrestled, and continuing to get wrestled all game
I love DeRozan, but don’t miss him on the Spurs as on court drama is annoying. He gets so furious at the refs (fairly or unfairly) it destroys the mood for the whole team.
I am convinced we lost that Denver series because he threw the ball towards the refs. You could see the team mood deflate from then.
This is Compton vs Watts. Nobody backing down
Shoutout Vince Staples lol
That’s that Crip talk
Adam Amin kept saying he was yelling at ghosts during the aftermath
That seems like extra theatrics when you act like after someone….stares at you???
is there a clip of this?
NGL as a bulls fan I miss Bobby Portis and the energy he brings. Demar’s acting like a punk who is mad the bully showed up on his court and played better than him.
>Thats all it takes for me
Congrats on being a pussy
