This is where I started.  So many great memories and times here, on the court and off the court,\u201d White said after scoring 17 points and dishing out five assists.  \u201cEvery time I come back here, it\u2019s going to be special.  The fans today were unreal.  The Boston fans here are crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"Qj6q0k\">After arguably his best season of his young career and clutch play after clutch play in Boston\u2019s 12-2 stretch in December including huge three-pointers against the Pistons and Raptors in their most recent homestand, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.celticsblog.com\/2023\/4\/20\/23688947\/legend-derrick-white-boston-celtics-legend-high-uccs-colorado-springs-boulder-oreos-wisdom-teeth\">legend<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.celticsblog.com\/2023\/12\/31\/24019984\/the-mythical-greatness-of-derrick-white-boston-celtics\">myth<\/a> of Derrick White has grown into a modest All-Star campaign.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Wz9D3D\">\u201cI\u2019m just thankful and grateful.  I just try and go out there and help us win.  I think if I was to make an All-Star Game, it\u2019s because of how much we\u2019re winning and the type of team we have.  I\u2019m just thankful to be part of this team and this organization and the culture we\u2019re building here.  Me making it or not making it doesn\u2019t change the fact that I\u2019m thankful to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside id=\"mbuI1E\">\n<div data-anthem-component=\"readmore\" data-anthem-component-data='{\"stories\":[{\"title\":\"The mythical greatness of Derrick White\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.celticsblog.com\/2023\/12\/31\/24019984\/the-mythical-greatness-of-derrick-white-boston-celtics\"}]}'><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p id=\"VJYVgL\">This season, White is averaging a cool 17 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 5.3 assists, but counting stats don\u2019t nearly tell the entire story.  He\u2019s equally nearly a mistake-free point guard <em>and <\/em>does all the little things.  White hasn\u2019t always been this player though.  Drafted 29th in the 2017 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbnation.com\/nba-draft\">NBA Draft<\/a> by Gregg Popovich, the unassuming White still had more road to travel.<\/p>\n<p id=\"XaLh3g\">\u201cHe just kept pushing me.  He saw something in me that I didn\u2019t see myself,\u201d White said of his first head coach, the legendary Gregg Popovich.  \u201cObviously, in my first year, I was in the G League which allowed me to figure out the NBA game.  From there, he continued to push me and add that confidence.  I used to be in the weight room and he\u2019d walk past me and just say, \u2018you belong,\u2019 and walk out.  Just little things like that are cool to hear from the greatest coach of all time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"zfAwqD\">Last February, White was traded to the Celtics for Romeo Langford, Josh Richardson, and two first round draft picks.  What might have been a considered quite a haul for the Spurs two years ago looks like a steal in White\u2019s second full season in Boston.<\/p>\n<p id=\"kifKNn\"><em>We\u2019re thankful and grateful too, DWhite.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p>        Photos by Michael Gonzales\/NBAE via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>  The campaign to get the Celtics\u2019 do-it-all point guard into the mid-season classic is in full swing.
