In this clip, Derrick shares his innermost thoughts on the hard work that brought him to the league and the struggles he’s faced being away from the basketball court during his recovery. “Focus” is inspired by Derrick’s conviction that hard work and passion will help him achieve his ultimate goals – to be great and win championships.
