LeBron James, Chris Paul and Other NBA Stars React to DeMar DeRozan’s Record Setting Buzzer Beater for Chicago Bulls

Chicago Bulls are now sitting on top of the Eastern Conference table at the first seed. In their last game against the Wizards, DeMar DeRozan stunned the crowd with an incredible buzzer-beater. This was the second consecutive game in which DeRozan knocked down an insane three-pointer to seal the win at the buzzer. The shot sent a shock wave across the NBA to other stars watching this game.

NBA superstars like LeBron James and Chris Paul could not believe what they saw. Even Lonzo Ball who missed this game for the Bulls also reacted on Twitter to this incredible shot. This is how NBA players reacted to DeMar’s buzzer-beater.

The NBA record set from the buzzer-beater of DeMar DeRozan

According to sources, DeMar DeRozan is the only player in NBA history to shoot two consecutive game-winning buzzer-beaters in back-to-back games. This means that in the decades of NBA history that we have witnessed, it never happened before and might probably never happen again. This record could be the modern generation’s version of Oscar Robertson averaging a triple-double in a season.

We should not confuse this as an indication that the two records are equally valuable but are equally absurd and hard to believe. Maybe years from now, some superstar might repeat this. However, giving the NBA fans something they have never seen before is usually more favorable to win their support for an MVP Award.

Just like when Westbrook was awarded the MVP the first time he repeated Oscar Robertson’s accomplishment. However, when he made it look simple and easy, the intrigue around it took a sudden dip. Therefore, does that mean we could see DeMar’s name in the MVP discussion?

What does this mean for DeMar DeRozan and the Chicago Bulls?

The Chicago Bulls have become a force to be reckoned with this season.
