Someone I would like to meet

Hello everyone today I’ll write about one person who I admire and I would like to meet. This person is Demar DeRozan.

He is a basketball player of the San Antonio Spurs, but until last season he played for Toronto Raptors (my favorite NBA team).

He was born in Compton, California, in 1989; and grew up in an environment infested of criminals; also he is affiliated with the Compton Crips, a world famous gang, so, when he scores he usually makes the “C” hand sign.

In high school, he became a promising basketball talent; in 2008, at his senior year, he won the McDonald All-American Slam Dunk Competition and the McDonald’s All-American, and also he won the Moore League Championship with his team and the Moore League MVP award. Then he chose to play with the NCAA team of the University of Southern California, the USC Trojans, over other universities from Arizona and North Carolina. In 2009, he decided to enter the 2009 NBA Draft as a prospect, where he was selected 9^th overall by the Raptors, team where he became leader of the Canadian team and a NBA superstar, being a four-time NBA All-star and leading his team to the playoffs five times in a row. But in 2018, he was trade with Jakob Poetl to San Antonio Spurs in exchange for Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green. He also was part of US National Team that won golden medals at FIBA World Cup in 2014 and Rio Olympics in 2016.

He is one of my idols because he is one of the greatest players in Raptors history, he also wanted to play his whole career in Toronto, and he was part of the best campaigns of Raptors in its NBA history since 1995. I really want to meet him to convince him to rejoining Raptors and returns to his home, Toronto.
