Toronto Raptors high-flyer DeMarr DeRozan tries to channel his inner Kobe Bryant by giving himself a pass off the backboard to score. Bryant has probably done this over a dozen times now and DeRozan doing this is a small tribute to Bryant. DeRozan is in store for a big season if all goes well for the Toronto Raptors and many people are expecting big things from him.
Check out DeRozan with the pass off the back board. Once DeRozan got by Kelly Olynyk on on the perimeter and into the paint it was smooth sailing from there. Brandon Bass came over to contest, but DeRozan just went and did his own thing.
If you don’t remember how Kobe does it, check out this compilation video of Kobe giving himself passes off the backboard, which he does a whole lot better than anyone else.
