The Boston Celtics celebrated a historic victory, clinching their 18th NBA Championship title, which fulfilled the dreams of former player Bob Cousy. The night was particularly significant for Derrick White, who played a pivotal role in the team’s success. However, White’s father chose a unique way to commemorate his son’s achievement.
On Tuesday afternoon, White’s father took to social media to share a heartfelt moment. He posted a photo of himself and Derrick holding the Eastern Conference Finals trophy but roasted Jimmy Butler in the caption.
“Holding the next one was even better. Did I do it right Jimmy?” the caption read.
Meanwhile, Jimmy Butler of the Miami Heat continues to chase his first NBA championship ring despite his stellar performances. Butler has
led the Heat to multiple NBA Final appearances in recent years but has yet to secure the coveted title.
This season proved challenging once again for Butler and the Heat, as the Celtics eliminated them in the first round of the playoffs. Butler averaged 20.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 5.0 assists per game across 60 appearances throughout the season.
Derrick White Reflects on Winning the Championship
During the trophy presentation after the Boston Celtics‘ championship win, Derrick White expressed the immense satisfaction of winning the championship.
“I’ll lose all my teeth for a championship,” White said.
“This is unreal. I don’t think it has hit and settled in. This is a special group of guys, a special coaching staff that I’m just thankful to be a part of. Yeah, it’s unreal. I’m just trying to enjoy the moment and not get too lit,” White added.
White reflected on the lessons learned from last year’s Eastern Conference finals loss against the Heat. He was determined not to repeat history and approached this season with renewed focus and determination.
In the championship-deciding game, White contributed 14 points, eight rebounds, and one assist to help secure the Celtic title.
