NBA: Playoffs-Boston Celtics at Indiana Pacers

Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports

Our favorite son is making us proud.

Derrick White’s bald head continues to shine in the 2024 NBA Playoffs.

The former (and forever) Colorado Buffalo had yet another heroic postseason performance, this time sending the Boston Celtics to the Finals with a go-ahead three-pointer with 45 seconds left to play.


This 2023-24 season has been a dream for the Colorado-born hooper. He established himself as the NBA’s best role player, an elite defender, savvy connector and a more-than-capable scorer. His mid-season hot streak nearly earned him an All-Star nod, was named All-Defense for the second straight year, and is now looking like a legit playoff hero.

White has arguably been the Celtics’ best all-around player in the postseason. He tore apart Miami in that five-game series, disrupted both Donovan Mitchell (when healthy) and Darius Garland, and just averaged a menacing 17 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks in their sweep of the Pacers.

The Celtics will likely face the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals, as Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving hold a 3-0 lead on the Minnesota Timberwolves. Boston match up well, as they have both White and Jrue Holiday for Luka and Kyrie, respectively. But that’s easier said than done.

Donovan Mitchell played for Miami in the playoffs? I am pretty sure Cleveland would have a gripe with that.
