A very happy birthday to DeMar DeRozan! The NBA veteran turns 31 today, and he’s accomplished a lot in his career so far. DeRozan spent nine years with the Toronto Raptors before he was traded to the Spurs in exchange for Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green. He’s still respected in Toronto and a former teammate has posted a heartwarming message to the four-time All-Star on the occasion of his birthday.
The Raptors selected DeRozan as the ninth pick in the 2009 NBA draft. He settled in with the team pretty quickly and established himself as a prominent member of the franchise in a few years. When Kyle Lowry joined the team in 2012, a strong bond developed between the two players.

“One day we’ll retire, we’ll be hanging out on the porch, drinking lemonade together one day. That’s what you cherish about the friendship.”
