Okay, so let’s talk about Derrick White. He’s become, like, super important for the Boston Celtics. But, whoa, there was a time when he was just stumbling around, clueless. Honestly, it’s kinda relatable, right?
Picture this: Derrick steps onto the court for the first time with the Celtics, and it’s chaotic. Whoever said “new beginnings are hard” wasn’t kidding. In this clip — no idea why it’s stuck in my head — Kicks on X shows Derrick looking, well, lost. His own words: “I had no idea what I was doing.” Just vibes and sheer willpower getting him through. Classic rookie move. Maybe it was meant to be like that?
Here’s the thing — that floundering first game? It actually set the stage for all the good stuff that came after. Derrick started with the team during the 2021-22 season, jumping in from the San Antonio Spurs (go Spurs, sorry — off track). Back then, he was mostly chillin’ on the bench. Fast forward a bit, and boom, he’s a starter, a crucial player. Life’s funny, eh?
On the court, the dude’s a powerhouse, offense, defense, whatever. Heck, he was key during their Finals run. And even with Jayson Tatum sitting out for a season due to injury, Derrick’s still pushing the team forward. Like, who would’ve known?
Thinking back to when he was all, “Where do I fit in?” — it’s wild. Now, he’s not just part of the crew; he’s leading the charge. Life does this weird full-circle thing, doesn’t it?
Anyway — wait, what was I — oh, yeah, Derrick’s journey with the Celtics has been pretty amazing. It’s like watching someone grow up in fast-forward. Almost makes you want to cheer, doesn’t it?
