It's the day of the Thunder's preseason finale and Demetrius “Juice” Deason apologizes for his voice being a little scratchy. He lives in Los Angeles, but comes to Oklahoma City often to support his friend.
One of the side effects is a dose of the up-and-down Oklahoma climate.
“I've kinda gotten used to the weather,” Deason said. “ ... but sometimes I'm just like ... man.”
It's worth it for the 29-year-old comedian. He's performing at the Tower Theatre on Friday in a fast-growing annual show that's been championed by Deason's childhood teammate, Thunder guard Russell Westbrook.
