After a dream summer in which Derrick White won an NBA championship and a gold medal, the Celtics guard is back at the team’s facilities, gearing up for another deep playoff run.

While some players can’t wait to hit the court after a well-earned break, the start of the season comes with more than just basketball. For White, the return to the spotlight wasn’t exactly exciting. In a recent video, he’s seen looking a bit over the constant flashes and endless directions during the shoot for the Celtics’ upcoming NBA campaign, playfully giving the media team a hard time throughout the photo session.

Even the media team noticed they might’ve pushed Derrick White a bit too far with all the instructions, so they finally let him off the hook once the shoot was done. But the social media team wasn’t about to let him get away that easily.

Derrick White’s unstoppable momentum

They got their playful revenge by posting the video of White acting like a kid on the Celtics’ official TikTok. Of course, the real winners were the fans, who only got more hyped knowing that the season is just around the corner.

Derrick White is on a winning streak that shows no signs of slowing down, and his infectious positive attitude only highlights his momentum. White wrapped up the most successful season of his professional career, averaging an impressive 15.2 points, 5.2 assists, and 4.2 rebounds per game for the 2023-24 NBA champion Celtics. With the team racking up a stunning 80 wins-including playoffs-White’s contributions were pivotal.

To top it all off, he proudly represented Team USA in its hard quest for a fifth straight Olympic gold medal. The U.S. team went a perfect 6-0 in Paris, culminating in a thrilling 98-87 victory over host country France in the final.
