Bulls’ DeMar DeRozan knows childhood rival Jrue Holiday all too well

The Bulls veteran knows the way Holiday likes to defend him, knows his tendencies, and has seen every move the Milwaukee point guard has in his arsenal.

DeRozan should. He’s been witness to it since both of them were 11 year olds making a name for themselves in the Los Angeles area.

“Every time we played against each other it was always memorable,’’ DeRozan said on Wednesday. “In high school we played with each other multiple times in tournaments. Jrue was always one of my favorite players to compete against, and obviously we played against each other in college, so it goes way back to when we were 11 and 12 for sure.
