LOS ANGELES — DeMar DeRozan is never far from the influence of Kobe Bryant when he’s on the basketball court. Every game is a reminder of the impact Bryant had on the NBA — and on DeRozan.

DeMar DeRozan leads the league in total minutes at age 34. It’s not even close — he’s played 102.4 more minutes than Coby White (2nd overall). But DeMar remains sharp in the clutch.

During his time with the Bulls, DeRozan averaged 25.5 points on 49.6% shooting to go along with 5.1 assists. "It was cool to come back to a place where they loved you, appreciated you," DeRozan added.
