Live Bar, September 29 news recently, Bull star DeRozan was a guest of The Old Man & The Three, discussing life with JJ-Reddick.
Derazan: “You know, everything we ‘ve experienced is a journey. As the journey goes deeper, you have to accept what happened in this process, learn from it, and then become a better yourself. Because there is no terminal to keep happy. Even though I was receiving psychotherapy, at first I felt as if I had received therapy and then I would recover. Maybe after ten courses of treatment, it didn’t work. This is life. You have to accept it.
For me, this helps me understand that this is a part of life. Just like some tweets I sent, in others’ understanding, you can sink all day long, hold your mobile phone, look at the best places, look at everyone, and send them nice pictures, share their most interesting day. You may be addicted to seeing those unreal things, which can affect yourself.”
Reddick: “Maybe in the eyes of others, we professional players are very rich. We have beautiful women, luxury cars, mansions and jewelry. It seems that we will always be happy like this. But people don’t know that we are under a lot of internal pressure.”
Derazan: “It comes from internal pressure. For us, it is easy for us to sink in. Do you know what I mean? I often communicate with some retired players older than me and ask them how they are doing recently. As far as I am concerned, I think I may not really feel happy before I retire. I say this because of what you just said. Because there is too much internal pressure here, that is, you need to become excellent every day. It’s like, I have to go to the gym to train, I don’t have enough training, this and that. Should I rest today? No, no, I have to finish those. You won’t be really happy until you stay away from those.”
Drozan once suffered from severe depression in 2018.
