DeMar DeRozan Takes Over Klipsch Canada Twitter Account
Klipsch brand ambassador and Toronto Raptors shooting guard DeMar DeRozan took a breather from the beginning of the NBA season to answer questions from fans via the Klipsch Canada Twitter account (@KlipschAudioCAN). The NBA All-Star and Team USA member talks about the first time he dunked, what's on his playlist, the league's biggest trash talker, and a smattering of other topics.
DeRozan's Raptors are off to a scintillating start this season, inspired by a raucous home crowd that seems like it won't let the team lose. If you happen to attend a Raptors or Maple Leafs game at the Air Canada Centre, be sure to check out the Klipsch speakers installed in the arena's suites and concourse areas.
For DeRozan's entire conversation with Klipsch and Raptors fans, read below:
