DeMar DeRozan Trolls ‘Old A**’ Kyle Lowry After Fred VanVleet Breaks Raptors Franchise Record

Multiple Toronto Raptors records were broken tonight, thanks to their undrafted guard Fred VanVleet. With the team slowly picking up their pace this season, VanVleet led from the front against the Magic. He scored a massive 54 points during the game and entered the record books.

After the game, his friend and former teammate, DeMar DeRozan, congratulated VanVleet for this game. DeRozan held the previous record for the most points scored in a single game in Raptors history. He tweeted, “Congrats to my brotha Freddy V! Kyle old ass couldn’t do it. Glad you did champ! Been telling you!”

DeRozan had a 52-point outing against the Bucks back in January 2018. His record was finally broken after three years, but that didn’t stop him from appreciating his friend. DeRozan was one of the most loved players during his stint in Toronto. But they traded him after winning zero titles in nine seasons. Fans would still take him back in a heartbeat, and one can see this in the replies to the tweet.

Kyle Lowry gets a free jab from DeMar DeRozan

Not only did DeRozan congratulate VanVleet in his tweet but also added a jab aimed at his close friend Kyle Lowry. They have been two of the closest friends since DeMar entered the league. So when Kyle read the tweet, he just smiled and said, “I saw DeMar sent out the tweet that I’m too old to get (his record), and I am.”

Lowry also appreciated VanVleet for the record later. He said, “Y’all know how I feel about him. That’s my little brother and I’m proud of him.”

While FVV had a record-breaking game, Lowry had a triple-double, as he did his bit to help the team win their second game in a row.

Fred VanVleet breaks two more records

DeRozan’s record wasn’t the only one VanVleet broke tonight. His 54-point tally is the highest ever by an undrafted player, surpassing Moses Malone’s 53 points in 1960. He also became the first Raptors player to score 50 points in a road game.

VanVleet broke three records with his performance, and had he taken more shots, he would have been able to break a few more.
