DeMar DeRozan offers $100 to anybody who can stop LeBron James

Every Raptors is searching for answers after another blowout loss to the Cavaliers, including DeMar DeRozan, who offers $100 to anyone that can stop LeBron James.

If you think you could stop the best player in the world in LeBron James, you better reach out to DeMar DeRozan.

The Toronto Raptors’ all-star shooting guard says he’s willing to pay $100 to anybody who can stop James after the Cavaliers marched their way to a 125-103 victory on Wednesday night. The win gave them a comfortable 2-0 series lead in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

“If you can find somebody to stop LeBron in these moments, I’ll give you $100,” said DeRozan after James scored 39 points on 71.4 per cent shooting, while also attempting 21 free throws in Game 2.

James has been on a tear throughout the post-season, guiding his Cleveland Cavaliers to a 6-0 record. With the series now heading to Toronto for Games 3 and 4, DeRozan and the Raptors are evidently trying to do all they can to get themselves back in contention and avoid a sweep.

Game 3 between the Raptors and the Cavaliers will tip-off Friday at 7 p.m. in the Air Canada Centre.
