This is real stuff. We’re all human at the end of the day. That’s why I look at every person I encounter the same way. I don’t care who you are. You can be the smallest person off the street or you could be the biggest person in the world, I’m going to treat everybody the same, with respect.
My mom always told me: Never make fun of anybody because you never know what that person is going through. Ever since I was a kid, I never did. I never did. I don’t care what shape, form, ethnicity, nothing. I treat everybody the same. You never know.
I had friends that I thought was perfectly fine, next thing you know they’re a drug addict and can’t remember yesterday . . . I never had a drink in my life because I grew up seeing so many people drinking their life away to suppress the (troubles) they were going through (…).

Now I like DeMar DeRozan even more. Interestingly I have recently written about him or the Toronto Raptors in three different posts:
DeMar DeRozan reminds me of Clyde (the Glide) Drexler (2 January 2018)
Ha, ha, ha! (How I wish it would be true.) (9 February 2018)
I hadn't laughed so hard for a long time! (16 February 2018)
