Demar has  been a big supporter and rep for ballislife since his high school days back at Compton High. For some of you who don't know, Demar was actually one of the first players to have a mix on ballislife. In high school he was unstoppable and ranked one of the top players in the nation. With his 6-6 height and 40 inch vertical he dominated his competition and put on a show every game. Demar has now been in the NBA for 4 years and  I have a feeling this might be his break out year in the League.Lets take a look back and check out his high school greatness.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AO2ZEvOkS4I\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ballislife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/demar-derozan.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"demar derozan\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17848\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we would like to give a special shot out to one of our very own Demar Derozan&hellip;
