34-year-old DeMar DeRozan dapping JJ Redick sparks hilarious sound bite: "You know you getting old"

DeMar DeRozan is in his 15th NBA season and is feeling a little older after dapping up JJ Redick before Wednesday's game. DeRozan is just 34, but he played against Redick for most of his career. Redick was covering the Chicago Bulls game against the New York Knicks for ESPN.

Before the game between the Bulls and Knicks at Madison Square Garden, Redick spoke to several players, including DeRozan and Alex Caruso. He was talking to Caruso when DeRozan came up to him and gave him a warm hug.

DeRozan, who was mic'd up for the game, told the Bulls' second-year swingman Dalen Terry that seeing his contemporaries covering the game made him feel old.

"You know you're getting old when most of the commentators are people you played against," DeRozan said.

JJ Redick and Richard Jefferson were the two former NBA players who called the game between the Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks. DeMar DeRozan was never teammates with either ESPN analyst but used to play against them.

Redick was in the NBA for 15 seasons, from 2006 to 2021, before starting his podcast called 'The Old Man and the Three." He was then hired by ESPN to become an analyst and has also called games from the broadcast booth for both ESPN and ABC.

Meanwhile, Jefferson was in the league longer, for 18 seasons from 2001 to 2018. He also got his start on television as a podcaster, with his show called "Road Trippin'" with Channing Frye before ESPN came calling.
