DeMar giving his point-of-view of his daughter screaming during the Raptors’ free throws during the Play-In last year

Had the honor of attending DeMar’s event he held to talk about his memoir, Above The Noise, in Toronto yesterday. Here he’s talking about his perspective of his daughter, Dias, screaming during the 2023 Play-In.

During the show, in addition to talking about mental health, he answered questions attendees had put into a ballot, told stories of him growing up, his relationship with Kobe Bryant and Kyle Lowry.
Some of the things he revealed are that when he was a teenager, after his dad fell asleep, he would steal his dad’s car and waited for the train to pass by (they lived near a train station) so his dad couldn’t hear the car start; his dad legitimately thought the neighbours were siphoning his gas and he would peek out the window every day to catch them. He also revealed that Kyle will text him their highlights of their time together on the Raptors to reminisce. He even FaceTime’d Kyle at the end of the show.

I would’ve loved for there to be a meet and greet after the show so I can finally meet my GOAT, dap him, have a quick conversation with him and maybe even ask him to sign my jersey, but just being able to see him in-person and be in the same room as him was enough for me. I didn’t record a lot during the show ‘cause I wanted to take in what he was saying.
