Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan handled the news of his sixth All-Star nod Thursday by dropping a piece of advice on the media members standing around to get his reaction.
‘‘I hope anybody out there, whatever field you work in, never listens to the outside noise of people doubting you, counting you out, everything,’’ DeRozan said before scoring 15 points in the Bulls’ 114-98 victory against the Hornets. ‘‘As long as you’re true to yourself, believe in yourself, keep putting in the work with a genuine heart and a genuine passion, you’ll be rewarded.’’
