Sometimes I wonder what would happen to DeMarre Carroll if he just decided to walk around Toronto late at night. If people recognized him, he would definitely get heckled at the very least. No question about that. Raptors fans are still salty about how they signed him to a big contract and he immediately started playing like booty sauce.
But what if rowdy Canadians took it one step further? What if they started getting violent? Would Carroll just get his ass totally kicked if he was dumb enough to walk around downtown Toronto all by himself after what he did to the Raptors franchise?
I guess I shouldn’t worry about it too much. One guy trying to kick Carroll’s ass by himself would get destroyed. You might have missed it because Carroll is not an exciting dude to watch, but his arms are yoked. He could wipe the floor with a lone Canadian no problem. Even a group of guys would probably struggle to take down Carroll unless they did some kind of coordinated “swarm” like bees do. It’s just sort of an interesting idea. Can an NBA player be so hated in a specific location that he would actually be putting himself in danger by going there?
