Summary
DeMar DeRozan has been having a career year in Chicago, and helped lead the Bulls to a 38-21 record heading into the All-Star break. And just a few days before playing in his fifth All-Star Game on Sunday night, he also broke a very old NBA record -- previously held by Wilt Chamberlain -- by scoring 35 points while shooting over 50 percent from the field in seven straight games. So, in honor of all this, we're rebroadcasting an episode that first aired back in early November, when DeRozan had already started turning heads. Tiff spoke with The Athletic's Darnell Mayberry about what’s been behind DeRozan’s resurgence at age 32, and why it’s coming at exactly the right time for Chicago fans.
