Vlad and Gilbert Arenas discussed LeBron James' new extension with the Lakers and briefly touched on DeMar DeRozan's rumored move to the Lakers. Although DeRozan signed with the Sacramento Kings for a three-year, $74 million deal, it was his cameo in Kendrick Lamar's “Not Like Us” music video that sparked conversation. Arenas reflected on DeRozan's relationship with Drake, highlighting their genuine friendship formed during DeRozan’s years in Toronto. This connection raised eyebrows when DeRozan appeared in Kendrick's video, leading some to speculate about frictions between his loyalty to Drake and repping his Compton roots. Arenas dismissed the notion of choosing sides, claiming it's unnecessary. He emphasized that DeRozan’s appearance should not be seen as a betrayal to Drake but as an embrace of his dual affiliations with Toronto and Compton. He likened it to his own experience of being a fan of two NBA players, advocating that supporting multiple sides does not have to be mutually exclusive.
