Fans learned that in a hilarious way after DeRozan was introduced as the “undisputed master of mid-range” during the NBA All-Star Game introductions on Sunday night. The Bulls star was shocked […]

DeMar DeRozan was without a doubt one of the biggest names in free agency in the summer of 2021. He eventually ended up signing with the Chicago Bulls on a three-year, $82 million deal.
