Two Jays with a Finals MVP case + Brad Stevens made trades to put Al Horford, Derrick White, Kristaps Porziņģis and Jrue Holiday around them = Title No. 18.

Was lucky enough to chat with Derrick White last summer at his camp in Parker. He’s a Colorado kid at heart.
Happy to see him shine. NBA champion. pic.twitter.com/NriGELDsTE – 10:54 PM

As soon as the Celtics got Derrick White I raved about the culture fit because he’s a hockey player at point guard.
He’s genuineuly willing to get his face smashed in to accomplish the team goal.
May be missing a tooth, didn’t miss a play. What a dude.

Derrick White gets a bloody mouth diving on the floor. He stays in the game. … He’s a hockey player.

Derrick White’s face hit the floor something terrible. And he still has better luck than Grant Williams, who had his whole head stepped on by Joel Embiid last year – 9:35 PM

Derrick White may have lost a tooth right there. Definitely is bleeding, at least, after smacking his face into the floor diving for that loose ball. – 9:34 PM
