When she heard her cry, I told her that she had come to a game and she was fine. The Toronto Bulls went to the game and they beat the Bulls
I kept hearing a scream from my daughter, and during the game, someone missed a free throw, and I thought that she was screaming. I just wanted to make sure she was okay.
I remember her going to all the Toronto games when she was a kid and I almost said no because she’s in school back home. But she kept asking. She wanted to come to support. I stated that you can come to a game if you miss one day of school. I’m very pleased with what I did. I owe her a lot of money.
Diar, the daughter of Chicago star DeMar, could be heard screaming her loudest during the Bulls’ game against the Toronto Raptors in an attempt to put off Toronto players during their free throw attempts.
And the nine-year-old’s efforts seem to have paid off, with the Raptors players shooting 18-for-36 (50%) at the free throw line – their worst free throw percentage performance of the season – in the Bulls’ impressive comeback victory.
Why Diar won’t be traveling down to Miami to play the Heat in the NBA Final Four-Loop Game versus the Chicago Bulls
The win put Chicago in the next stage of the tournament, where it will play the Miami Heat for a chance to make it to the playoffs.
Despite her seeming impact and instant popularity, dad DeRozan was keen to stress that while Diar got a day off school to travel to Toronto – the city she was born in and spent the first few years of her life in – she wouldn’t be traveling down to Miami for the team’s next game.
United Airlines, which owns the naming rights to the home of the Bulls in Chicago, is willing to fly her down to Miami so she can work her magic.
“She has school today, I just spoke to her this morning on the way to school,” DeRozan said, per NBC Sports. “No, she will not be here. She’s ruled out.”
