Instead of bragging about his accomplishments, White praised his coaches and teammates for empowering him to become such an impactful player. 'I'm thankful. I'm happy,' White said. 'Really, I could have scored zero points if we won. That's really the important part.'
White is reluctant to brag about the plays he makes, but Boston.com asked coach Joe Mazzulla, White's Celtics teammates, and Paul Pierce to share their favorites. Here are Derrick White's finest moments in a Celtics uniform, according to the Celtics.
White was at the 3-point line when the ball first reached Butler. Holiday tipped the pass, forcing Butler to adjust to make the catch and buying White enough time to chase Butler down and block the dunk attempt. 'Just the effort that went into that one, and it was such a momentum shifter for our group,' Al Horford said.
