DeMar DeRozan and the Chicago Bulls capped off an incredible comeback against the Toronto Raptors to keep their season alive, and it was absolutely beautiful. Of course, this was a total team effort. However, some serious props need to go out to Zach LaVine, who had 39 points in 40 minutes during this game.

However, as the title suggests here, he wasn’t the real MVP of this game. After all the Toronto Raptors had a chance to tie the game, and possibly even win in overtime. But then, something happened. Take a look at the clip in the tweet below.

Yes, he missed his free throws. But, how did he miss all of them? And who is that screaming in the background, that is most definitely disorienting him?
Diar DeRozan’s MVP performance can’t go unappreciated
DeMar DeRozan was fighting to hopefully make the playoffs this season, which is more than just a big thing. And so, as you’d expect, some family support would’ve been much appreciated. However, his 10-year-old daughter Diar DeRozan went above and beyond any of that.
What did she do instead? Watch her glorious MVP campaign unfold in the Instagram post below.

Diar continued this for the whole night, something as you saw, bore some serious fruit for the Chicago Bulls, and why wouldn’t it have? At the end of the day, opposition players still struggle from boos from the home crowd. So, of course, outright screeching was always going to do something.
But apparently, no one figured that out faster than the 10-year-old. And so, we don’t think there will be any arguments on her newly given MVP status by all the NBA fans who watched this stellar game unfold.
What did DeMar DeRozan think of the whole thing?
After the conclusion of this highly entertaining game, DeMar DeRozan sat down with the media, where he was of course asked about his daughter, something he hilariously responded to with the following.
“I just seen it. She went viral. I haven’t let it soak in yet. I kept hearing something during the game on free throws. Somebody missed and I looked back and I was like, ‘Damn, that’s my daughter screaming?! I was just making sure she was alright.”

Despite being in the middle of the most important game of the Bulls’ campaign so far, DeRozan just couldn’t help but let his daddy instincts take over. Of course, his daughter was only giving him her undying support, making this moment insanely more comical. We just hope the young girl gets an award for her efforts.
