DeMar DeRozan reaches 20,000 points in the NBA

How did you develop the 5 a.m. workout? DeMar DeRozan: From Kobe. You know what’s crazy; I was watching The Redeem Team (documentary) the other day, when he was up early in the morning working out. And that’s kind of when it kind of started. I got that from Kobe, before I was in the league. I just stuck to it. And I laughed when I watched it. That’s exactly where I got it from, exactly where I got it from. It all started with him, just seeing his work ethic and how he approached it. -via The Athletic / October 28, 2022
