Compton, Calif. native DeMar DeRozan is making a name for himself on the world's biggest stage.

In his first Olympic Games, the 27-year-old has celebrated his birthday, showed Carmelo Anthony's dislike of group singalongs and missed an epic 360 dunk. Throughout it all, the Toronto Raptors guard is glad that he's sticking to his roots with support from both the United States and Canada.

The United States went undefeated in group play and will continue their journey to another Olympic gold medal on Wednesday, August 17. Their opponent is still to be determined.
