I'm here a week before the finals rewatching this. Lively has been an absolute massive reason the Mavs are in the finals. This dude lives and breathes and brings the energy and effort every game. I can't wait to watch him develop his game even more
Derek Lively is like an “Old Soul” at 19 years old with so much Wisdom, Intelligence, and Integrity a great work Ethics. You have to love this guys. Go Mavs you can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.❤️🙏🏿👍👏👏👏👏
Honestly a very mature and sympathetic interview which gives a lot of hope we not only have found the center of the future but also a great positive figurehead.
Very professional for a 19 year oks the way he carries himself, also a great addition the team desperately needed. He has the potential to be such an incredible center
You won't believe he is 19 years old if you don't know his age. Man, I love D-Live. He is one of the most favorite Mavs of all time already. If he stays healthy and stays with Dallas, he will surely be one of the best Mavs of all time.
Derrick lively is my favorite player! I am 10 years old and I got an upgrade to floor seats for half of the game and I got to high five him! And some other players when they played against the New Orleans and I also like Josh but he didn’t give me a high five.
Derek Lively II has potential to be to Luka what Tyson Chandler was to Dirk. Now with Gafford, a vet big man, Mavs upgraded their center spot drastically.
I absolutely adore you!!!! Your wisdom at such a young age is so astounding. The Mavericks are so blessed to have you! I have enjoyed watching you do great things on the court!!! You are my 3rd ALL time favorite player - next to Dirk and Luka! Thank you for never giving up!! Truly a fighter/warrior!💙💙💙
Lively I’m so proud of you and how you are handling your self with the Press, Media, Family,and Become a Professional on the Basketball Court. It’s hard to believe you’re 19 years old. Continue to be the Professional with integrity and character you have. Go Mavs!👏👏👏👍❤️😊
He is young. He could enhance his skillset such as a spin move and train with Hakeem Olajuwon when the season is over. He could also bulk up to the level of Giannis to be more effective with big bodies like Valenciunas, Jocik, Embid.
I hope you have a successful and healthy career sir, such a great player and your perspective in life is so mature for such a young age. Keep inspiring people, you have a good heart.
How can you not love this guy?
Raccoon squad!!!
🦝Squadies taking over🦝
Yo Nick!
Wisdom at 19 is crazy, Lively has been through alot and knows how to go about tough situations💪🏾Mavs need him & Mavs fans love ‘em💯

"To be great you have to go through the hard things"- D-Lively
Profound.
Great guy! Great player! What a pick! Very mature already and humble. You are doing awsome Dereck! All my respect
This dude is a freaki'n role model! And a fighter too.
Honestly a very mature and sympathetic interview which gives a lot of hope we not only have found the center of the future but also a great positive figurehead.
A Dwight Powell but actually talented?

He can be a good voiceover actor delivering audiobooks
Dereck,
your brain is awesome.
Getting a ring as a rookie will be insane
Fr
I know that would be insane …Imagine what it was like when magic won finals mvp as a rookie ..that’s crazy bro …
hes a good fit with the mavericks culture. I'm very glad we got him. I've suffered through many years of garbage centers.
LOVE THIS GUY MAN
Just enjoy what you‘ve got. What a Great voice you have. I hope you Love music.
Derrick lively is my favorite player! I am 10 years old and I got an upgrade to floor seats for half of the game and I got to high five him! And some other players when they played against the New Orleans and I also like Josh but he didn’t give me a high five.
Tyson Chandler should get more credit of being a mentor for lively, Been a huge reason for his success!
YOUR MOM IS AN ANGEL IN HEAVEN WATCHING OVER YOU D. LIVELY! SHE IS JUST AN ALL AROUND BEAUTIFUL PERSON!!!
YOU WERE SO BLESSED TO HAVE TWO BEAUTIFUL PARENTS!!!
Derek Lively II has potential to be to Luka what Tyson Chandler was to Dirk.
Now with Gafford, a vet big man, Mavs upgraded their center spot drastically.
His story got me in tears. I know this guy will win it all, he will never give up. I want you buy you a drink if I ever see you
Very mature for 19 years old!
Credit his mom for his upbringing.
Seem like a great person, and a fantastic player. The Mavs are lucky to have him, and I'm always happy to see the Luka D-Live combo!
Give him a year or 2 he will be a super star.
I sure hope so.
A wonderful young man. Grounded and mature. Beautiful to see especially in today's world.
He comes across as very “centered.” Seriously though, chill dude with deep thoughts. Wish him well for his career & life in general.
Tyson Chandler is tasked to work with him every day, perfect guy to hire for him
i want him and luka and kyrie to be mavs for life, they need better support though
THERE HE IS MAVS FANS! THE FUTURE AND SAVIOR OF THE DALLLAS MAVERICKS!!! THE REASON WHY LUKA DONCIC ISNT LUKA GONECIC!!! DLIVEEEEEEEEE
Not even exaggerating
wow...and a loving son..lively my new idol....gogogogo
God Bless U DLII and ur mom--Godspeed!
great interview n most important great person, lively has so much potential n i can’t wait for this kid future with the mavs #MF4L
Good to hear another person who's unhinged about sharing some of the stuff, people usually don't.
At 19 years old he is bigger MAN with bigger HEART than most of 50 year olds that I know.
Tears of joy and hope for the future
The Mavs really made a great draft pick.
I absolutely adore you!!!! Your wisdom at such a young age is so astounding. The Mavericks are so blessed to have you! I have enjoyed watching you do great things on the court!!! You are my 3rd ALL time favorite player - next to Dirk and Luka! Thank you for never giving up!! Truly a fighter/warrior!💙💙💙
My man D-Live speaking like a 42 y.o. veteran
Lively I’m so proud of you and how you are handling your self with the Press, Media, Family,and Become a Professional on the Basketball Court. It’s hard to believe you’re 19 years old. Continue to be the Professional with integrity and character you have. Go Mavs!👏👏👏👍❤️😊
Third most important player in the Mavs roster
look forward to the future with Dereck as a Mav
Dude! BigUp&BlessUp!💯🙏🏿

He is so mature
Go Rookie
He will win championship this year! I hope he will get big bag next contract. Such mature guy at his age love it
Great guy … God Bless you … don’t forget to put God in your life !!!
Luka doncic100%💪
2:30 He has an amazing future as a ventriloquist
😂😂😂
Yeah that was weird.
Getting a Jersey!!❤
Greatest 19 year old
EXACTLY!
also its not an european thing, its a slovenian/balkan thing xd a lot of us are like that
He is young. He could enhance his skillset such as a spin move and train with Hakeem Olajuwon when the season is over. He could also bulk up to the level of Giannis to be more effective with big bodies like Valenciunas, Jocik, Embid.
His mentality and maturity like 30+ instead of 19 years old
HE Had to grow up fast.
@@NemoElohemiyeah sadly
🔥💪🏻
😂😂😂and I have been a little more than I have to go to the new house 🏡
Mav ownership and mnmt are more interested in DEI than winning championships. Sad!
So what could be the reason why you said anything about DEI? Hmm tell us
I was already excited for him to run the court, now I want him to run for office 🥲
Can’t wait to get my Lively II jersey! Both Dereck and his Mom Kathy are huge inspirations for me.
my man, i hope he comes to slovenia with luka some day, i'd love to exchange a few words with him/them
he is this at 19 as a rook, lets go!!!!!
LD&DL will dominate the NBA
I hope you have a successful and healthy career sir, such a great player and your perspective in life is so mature for such a young age. Keep inspiring people, you have a good heart.
