In this episode of The Timeout, Dwyane Wade, Bob, and Chris Johnson sit down with six-time All-Star DeMar DeRozan for a real conversation about longevity, consistency, and sticking to what works. Deebo shares why the mid-range still matters, how he studies the game to stay effective, and the discipline behind 17 seasons at the top—no alcohol, no shortcuts, just work.

 

They also break down Game 2 of the Finals: how OKC made the right adjustments, from SGA attacking differently to Caruso’s defensive presence and the impact of playing two bigs. On the Pacers side, the guys talk what’s missing—why Siakam and Turner have to show up, and how Haliburton can lead without forcing.

 

From old-school one-on-one battles to today’s overreliance on analytics, the episode covers how the game’s changing—and who’s built to last.
