Heroine of the “play-in” between the Raptors and the Bulls on Wednesday night, Diar DeRozan was not in Miami last night for the decisive match between the Heat and her father’s team. She had school, and no question that she made the trip had warned DeMar DeRozan. Besides, it’s not certain that we’ll see her again in a room since DTT reveals that the 9-year-old girl was the subject of “serious online threats” on Wednesday, to the point that a member of the Bulls’ security service preferred to escort her out of the Toronto hall.
“It’s crazy, but that’s the world we live in” laments the Bulls fullback. “Honestly, no matter how good something is, there will always be poor guys who have no life. It’s sad. We see it every day… More than anything, what matters to me is that my daughter enjoys these moments. It has to stay in our circle. I don’t want her to get caught up in all the negative things going on outside. It’s just me being protective as a father.
“My daughter doesn’t know any of this”
By the way, DeMar DeRozan thanks the Bulls for their attention. “As long as she’s with her daddy, I don’t worry about anything!” It was just a precaution, and I appreciated that gesture.” he continues. “I was with her. I guarantee you that nothing will ever happen when I’m with my daughter. In the end, it’s just stupid people. I know what it’s like to be famous and everything else, it’s just sad. Some people sit around and use their keyboard to make any kind of unnecessary threats. It’s pathetic…”
And DeMar DeRozan to explain that his daughter doesn’t know anything, and that it’s better that way.
“Obviously it’s frustrating to hear threats, whatever they are. We take nothing lightly. My daughter doesn’t know any of this. She only knows the good side of things, which is that we won the game. As long as she’s happy with that, I don’t worry about anything else.”
