DeMar DeRozan matches impeccable Michael Jordan record vs Spurs
Speaking of Chicago’s finest, nobody did it better than Michael Jordan. A 6-time league winner and 14-time All-Star, ‘His Airness’ remains the level every upcoming star aspires to reach. Along the way, he broke almost every record that was meant to be broken. But now, years later, DeRozan has become the first player representing the franchise, to achieve an outstanding feat. And fans were left in disbelief at the same.
During their 120-109 victory over San Antonio, DeRozan scored 40 points, along with 3 rebounds and 7 assists. Subsequently, he became the first Bulls player since Jordan, to score 35+ points in 6 straight matches. It is a huge feat for a big game player. Reacting to the unthinkable record, fans were blown away in the comments. While one fan commented, “DeMar De-Jordan,” another person commended him by saying, “DeMar most exciting player to watch in NBA.”
Can DeMar DeRozan continue to emulate one of the league’s finest? There is no question that even MJ will be proud of how the experienced campaigner is carrying the team forward. The question is, how far can he carry them this year?
