Cedric Maxwell, a Celtics icon and author of "Banner Year", asserts that Jrue Holiday and Derrick White form the best defensive backcourt in Celtics history. His extensive experience as a player and broadcaster lends credibility to this claim. The duo showcased their abilities in a recent playoff game, where their strong defensive performance played a crucial role. While other key players struggled offensively, White's leadership helped secure the team's victory in a tough matchup against the Magic, further solidifying their impact on the court.
Maxwell played with Don Chaney as a young player, and with Dennis Johnson and Danny Ainge in his championship prime. When Max says, as he does in his new book "Banner Year", co-authored with Mike Isenberg, that Jrue Holiday and Derrick White are the best defensive backcourt in Celtics' history, it is not something to be dismissed.
For those that might be skeptical, the dual performances of White and Holiday in the gritty opener to this series ought to help them come around on the (correct) vantage point.
