On Wednesday night, DeMar DeRozan had arguably one of the most memorable plays of the NBA season. With the Toronto Raptors down one point against the Detroit Pistons, it was time for DeRozan to shine. The 28-year old would drive all the way down the length of the court to dunk on every single bit of Anthony Toliver.
DeRozan basically parted the Red Sea and sped past both Ish Smith and Blake Griffin and did not stop at all. It was a memorable moment as the crowd went insane and fans across the NBA soon saw the clip and joined in on the fun.

DeRozan can be known for his incredible plays and did not let down any fan in that stadium. Even Pistons fans were left speechless as they just witnessed one of the greatest dunks this season. With the win, the Raptors become the first team to clinch a playoff berth as teammates were happy all around.
However, instead of DeRozan joining in on the viral fun, he remained his humbled self and told reporters why he did not get caught up in the fun, via Michael Grange of Rogers Sportsnet.
“Nah, because after the game you start to cool down and your whole body start hurting, you just want to get to a bed and go to sleep.'
The Raptors are having fun and will do so with a pure class player of DeRozan. In the game, the star would finish with 42 points, four rebounds, and six assists. Just remember, next time DeRozan makes another insane play, he is going straight to bed and not getting ready for the next day.
