This is a 75 year old man inside a young guys body. Hes staying in Dallas for a long time 💪🏼
momma couldn't have raised a better young man
Love this kidd sounds so mature and a leader...mavs mavs mavs
The one rookie that really deserves a chip.
If I hadn't known, and you tell me Lively's been in the league for 5-6 years, I would have believed you.
He’s so poised and well spoken for a rookie. The dude is 19 in age, but 50 yrs old in soul already having been through a lot
True, so mature for his age. Such a great mindset, even off-court, looking out for the next generation already.
Stay healthy Dereck!!!! The Chip runs thru you!! Go Mavs!!
...... lol.... and learn how to twist your body when you go up for a block and take that knee in your hip next time!! 😆🤣
You might be on point there..
Nah Luka is key lively a piece but Luka is key
@@kukucal.6337😂😂😂 Somebody's too excited
No Diddy
Gafford and Lively is an AWESOME X-FACTOR to bring to a team...p
His strength amidst grief has been dumbfounding, and incredibly moving. Your mother gave you heart, and it’s been your heart through which you play that separates you. It defines you. The passion and your intent cannot not go unnoticed Derrick, your a Good soul. Win or lose, trophy or nothing, your momma just wants to see you shining in life. And You’re going the right way, and doing all the right things, keep going. Your journey is bound to get a lot brighter. We see you Lively we see you
Derek is mature beyond his years. We drafted the right guy and we are lucky to have him. Can’t say enough good things about him as a player and as a person.
THIS GUY IS AWESOME!!!! A BIG PART OF THE MAVS GREAT TEAM!!!!
Definition of success "Not being the same person you were yesterday". Thanks for the inspiration young dude.
D Live >>> Ain't Man
💯🤞🏿
GREAT KID! 👍👍👍
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Love you Lively the sky is the limit young bro we got your back 💙🤞🏽
STRAIGHT UP
He says all the right things and plays so well for a rookie.
I'm sure losing both parents early helped him mature quickly the hard way.
All the best for him, really rooting for him.
I'm 60 and appreciate the wisdom; great interview from D Live
I'm impressed how much importance these players attached to some family values, thank you for that. Greetings from Macedonia!
Dereck isn't a rookie. This soul has seen a lot and lived many lives. He's unreal in his maturity. Hope he retires a Maverick.
Yea he’s an old soul for sure
It helps also that he's around a mature and responsible organization
@@darrellbarnes2096 I actually think he's most likely the most mature one there. That's not a knock.
@alpinestars1980 You think you're slick but you meant it as a knock and you're trolling
@@darrellbarnes2096 whatever you say.
Can’t win this chip without you
The whole team growing before our eyes lively and gafford are my two favorites other than irvin and luka.
This young man has so much poise to be a rookie...awesome intelligence and athleticism displayed throughout the playoffs...vital part of the Mavs success. I salute him!
20 year old GROWN ASS MAN. Perfect attitude and perspective. Al Horford and KP are gonna lose a lot of sleep.
😂😂. If only it were that easy
D lively is becoming one of the greats in a mavs uniform. He is just like our greatest center in franchise history.. tyson chandler. I can personally say first hand. The city of dallas and all MFFL love D lively and his family. They will forever be loved here no matter what. Lets go win this chip for kathy! Lets go mavs!
Well we don’t love you
What is MFFL?
Is it Mavericks family for life?
@@khalida02mavs fan for life
Well tbf mavs have had a center drought for as long as I can remember
DLiveis our key against the 5-out of Celtics. Let’s go Mavs! Bring that Chip home!
He will eat against Horford,Porzingis will be tougher though
Great player & I heard he has a 3 point shot he’s been working on also
With teachers like Luca and Kyrie. we shall see.
He had a 3 in high school/college and predraft. J Kidd got him locking down the block, then expand his game.
Wise young man
I keep thinking, the off-season might get lonely and hit harder for him. When you go through all of that and you have something else to focus on, like the playoffs, sometimes it helps to not think too much about it. But it will be different during the off-season and I doubt he will play in the Summer League, I hope he hangs out with other players and coaching staff.
I'm sure he's got a girl to kick it with bro. He good
Hes already the 3rd most important player for the Mavs. He doesnt need to play the summer league.
God bless this young man, he's been through a lot.
This dude is cool and awesome. Bless you Brother
Derek Lively is going to be prime Joakim Noah with his tenacity fuzed with Tyson Chandler and possibly give you some Brad Miller type shooting as a big the future is bright for him.
GAFFORD AND LIVELY !!!😂😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 GREATEST X FACTOR IN '24 PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!! 😁😁😁😁😜😜😜😜
Mavs come out FAST and HARD Come out the Champs that you are. All of you are Important all of your Positions fit like a Glove work as a Team, Help each others, stop making “Fouls”. Keep your eyes open, Keep Pushing Hard !
You can do it All of you guys are extremely Talented❤️🙏🏿👍👏👏👏
Let’s go Mavs bring back” the Championship” to Texas I believe in you guys you can do it. Stay Focus, Stay Aggressive, Stay Hungry, Stay fighting Hard, Go Get Them. Please don’t disappoint Mavs. This is your Year and Time.👍👏👏👏👏👌
D Live the Rookie that is Surprising everyone ❤ #MFFL
Well spoken young man
Imagine winning a chip as a rookie! Lets go Mavs!!
Third most important player on the Mavs.
I’m glad Lively is health and back. He is an important part to the Back Board as well as Gaffer. Mavs you can do it you can get the Job Done😊👌👍❤️
Big Soul
Inspiration
Loved this team since the jj barrea , dirk days, and I'm a new yorker
Love you Dlive !
He''s 20, and was probably shaving at 11 and breaking bricks when he was 12
MY TWO CENTS IN THIS FINAL , THE FIRST 2 GAMES WILL DETERMINED WWHETHER IT WILL BE A 7 GAME SERIES OR SHORT SERIES. ITS NOT ON PAPER BUT THE OUTCONE OF THE FIRST 2 GAMES..❤❤❤
I agree 100%
He said it!! 4 wins in a row!! Anything is possible!!
Miracles do happen but that would be a miracle that this world hasn’t seen
What a great human being. Just admiration is what I have for that kid. Love from a fan in Puerto Rico.
CONGRATULATIONS DERECK! YOU ARE A MAN OF GREAT CHARACTER TALENT, AND DETERMINATION! I PRAY FOR YOUR HEALTH AND CONTINUED SUCCESS, YOU DESERVE IT! SENDING LOVE ❤️ PEACE AND BLESSINGS! NOW GO BEAT THE BAKED BEANS 🫘 OUT OF BOSTON!! SEE YOU AT THE FINISH LINE 🏁!! 🙏🏽❤️🏆💪🏼
Can you pray for me too
He doesn't talk like a 20 years old guy, he's so mature and besides a huge grief inside for many hardships like losing his parents, as I said, so mature. He's gonna be a big star in the NBA and you know what, I feel happy for him.
I was thinking the same thing. I’m not a Mavericks fan, but this kid seems like a class act and I would’ve guessed he was at least 25 years old.
16:27 is an amazing response
Ur the key to unlock Boston...
True, he’s one of the keys that will unlock the Celtics success
@@vinniedeluca2188 explain how
Wemby who? Lol jk but this guy's attitude and effort are going to propel him to a great career.
Man this feels like a playthrough of NBA2K MYCAREER making the finals 1st year... now in talk of one hell of a rookie season
This young man has completely exceeded expectations. Humble and a hard worker. Definitely going to shine in the Finals
Maverick is very lucky to have you Dereck. You’re very tall and you’re a good player and good future is waiting for you . Your mom is always with you . Keep up the good work 😀🙏
Tried to get his recon RPA /3 but it got sniped for 260 last second a few weeks ago. Still fuming now all his RPA around 500 for that type

What is exciting to hear from these guys who are on teams like the mavericks, the wolves, the pacers, Knicks and other up and coming teams and young players, is I can feel the love for the game again
Compare how the Dallas players behave in these QA sessions compared to Minnesota players. Being a champion is more than possessing great physical skills.
Their are many teams that picked in front of the Mavs kicking themselves right now
Legit 3rd best mavs player in the wcf as a rookie that’s tough 😤
All the best Dereck Lively ❤ Keep going 🫶
YOU ARE THERE D-LIVE. PUT YOUR STAMP ON THE FINALS.
Very wise young man, he has been through a lot he came out head up.
If this guy stays healthy, he will be huge for a generation.
Dereck you’ll be the future mvp😇🙏
Jason Kidd has been a much better mentor than Coach K folks because he's played at the highest level and is HOF, not to mention he's a brother, Black people are the brightest of stars in every field of human endeavors!!!!!
Didn't even play for coach K.
Yes, because it's the melanin content of their skin pigment that matters, not the work they put in. 🙄
I was surprised because usually, in any sport, the best players make the worst coaches or managers. Kidd seems solid.
4 more big guy, The dynasty begins now!
Is he the same height as KP??
Not quite but pretty close
Mavs in 6! Make me proud < Mom
Celtics Nation about to spin all Mav fans heads!!
The Mavs fans heads are already spinning. We are all psychos and Luka is leading the charge
Not the type of spin I was referring to but respect for the confidence
Why you hear ? Him scared
@@vinniedeluca2188 that’s the only spin we know other than spinning the block on the Celt’s.
@@Thelostandprofoundpodcast yes we are! 😈 locked in and ready for a tough series, never backing down and staying true to our one and only goal. The leprechauns are about to be tested like never before in these playoffs! Bring it on 💪💪💪
Go Boston!!!!!!
To Cancun. Don't rush it.
