"Honestly, I don't think I even said this -- I probably said it to my own inner circle -- but if it wasn't for all the years and groundwork that I did before then, none of them things would've been possible," DeRozan told Bleacher Report in a video interview. "Yes, I fought, I sacrificed, I pushed the limits to where I had to be the sacrificial lamb.

"You just have to sit back and understand, like, you know, you are the reason so many things was even possible."

There's a slice of it that's true though, albeit small. It probably is a gut punch feeling seeing it happen and knowing you didn't get to cap it off for a city he came to love. I kind of like the realness.
