Toronto Raptors shooting guard DeMar DeRozan had a great showing Saturday night as he laid down 32 points to win Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, it seems like DeRozan had to explain who he was to one security guard at the Air Canada Centre.
DeRozan and teammate Kyle Lowry showed up at the arena on Sunday for an interview with ESPN’s Doris Burke. However, according to Cleveland.com’s Chris Haynes, they were stopped by a security guard, who didn’t recognize either one of them.

After backup was called, things got straightened out when the security guard’s colleague let her know they were two of the team’s best players.
Once backup arrived and saw it was DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry on the court, he said to his colleague, "That's our two best players."

During the season, DeMar DeRozan averaged 23.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game this year. It may take 40 points against the Cavaliers on Monday in Game 4 to get a little more love from his own security team.
