Chicago Bulls star DeMar DeRozan is one of the best mid-range players in the NBA today, but don't call him a master on it.
Fans learned that in a hilarious way after DeRozan was introduced as the āundisputed master of mid-rangeā during the NBA All-Star Game introductions on Sunday night. The Bulls star was shocked and confused with the nickname he was given, and while he didn't say anything, his facial expression says a lot about what he feels about the intro.
PA Announcer: "A 6-time All-Star from the Chicago Bulls, who is an undisputed master of the mid-range."

Considering the buzz it created, DeMar DeRozan will have to explain his reaction after the NBA All-Star Game. Maybe he has better ideas of what his nickname should be for the next All-Star?
Anyway, it's certainly a rather amusing moment that made the start of the All-Star festivities even more fun. Hopefully, we get to hear from DeRozan soon about his rather viral moment.
