@@nunya2171 Jordan was part of the backcourt but I’m imagining 6’8 Scotty Pippen trying to pick up kyrie Irving full court and that just doesn’t seem right in my head
This is one of the reasons he was selected for Team USA. They don't need another scorer, they need a good defender, do it all utility guy, and Derrick is the best Swiss Army Knife in the NBA.
The point is he is a guard and still can block shots consistently all season long. Doesn't matter what position center, guard, forward, he can block them all. This dude is amazing! Derrick "white sauce" white 😅
5:17 "Derrick White says to Draymond Green 'Not on MY watch...That's a Point Guard!!!" As a Spurs fan I was happy that DW was traded to Boston where he would get the credit and recognition he had earned after so much hard work with Pop, who did a fine job prepping him for success. I have continued to follow DW and always will with my best wishes to him always.
What's crazy about White is that for the NBA he's probably only slightly above average athletically, but the timing of his jumps is impeccable. If you really watch, most of his blocks are when the ball is still in the shooter's hands or has just been released.
I personally love his Defense. Derrick White is such an elite 2 way player. But because the NBA is so OBSESSED About Jayson Tatum, guys like White, Jaylen Brown, and Holiday will never get enough credit. It’s sad.
this guy is the greatest celtic of all time. Just because he doesn't score more than jay-t or jay-b, doesn't mean he is not better. He is a better 3 point shooter, better playmaker, and defender. He is the greatest defensive guard of all time. Show him some respect
It's wild to think that, like, White has lost some lift and slowed down a bit as he's built his strength - these Spurs highlights, he's the fastest dude on the court by a considerable margin. And the elevation from nothing. Take 10:22, I know folks arent going all out, but he's just effortlessly floating down the court, and then skies from the strong side to block on the weak? I never get tired of watching this dude play basketball.
Holiday & White is the best #NBA basketball backcourt period! Name me a backcourt DUO that plays full court as in never cheats the game! If Caruso joins SGA they could have a bit of competition other than that there's no competition!
@lockupjay Casual fans think basketball is only about scoring! Basketball is about stopping the opposer from getting to score while going on the other end and scoring! Ask MJ, Kobe, LJ and even Giannis?! Jrue & Derrick can get a bucket and stop you from getting one can Kyrie & Luka play basketball no they are 1 dimensional and this series shall expose it! They are a top 5 scoring duo NOT basketball duo! Ask Naismith! True basketballers play the full court!
It's crazy cause Jason kidd challenged a call that was exactly what pj Washington did to derrick white and it was counted as a foul But when derrick did the same thing it counted as a block
one gripped the hand and followed through after the ball was knocked loose which is illegal, the other was a smack of the back of the hand which is legal
II. BASIC PRINCIPLES A. CONTACT SITUATIONS 1. Incidental Contact The mere fact that contact occurs does not necessarily constitute a foul. Contact which is incidental to an effort by a player to play an opponent, reach a loose ball, or perform normal defensive or offensive movements, should not be considered illegal. If, however, a player attempts to play an opponent from a position where he has no reasonable chance to perform without making contact with his opponent, the responsibility is on the player in this position. The hand is considered “part of the ball” when it is in contact with the ball. Therefore, contact on that part of the hand by a defender while it is in contact with the ball is not illegal.
Not a celtics fan, but are we supposed to hate on them just because they built a great team? "Easy path to the final just because they have great players" is a stupid argument

Ur dumb if they call that there would be like 15 other fouls there not going to call a foul when u get touched, I've played before they do stuff like that all the time and most of the time shit never gets called
Dwhite and Jrue best defensive backcourt ever
Clearly not old enough to remember MJ and Pip
Pippen was a forward he wasn’t part of the bulls backcourt

23 minutes of blocking highlights for a guard,Derrick White is GOATED!
😜
DW is such a hard worker. Chasing back block is easy to get injury but he manages to play whole season in the rencent years.
True

Love Derrick ---- a Spurs fan

Derrick White & Jrue Holiday INSANE BEST BACK-COURT DEFENSE of ALL-TIME 💪🔥💪

Excellent job lad!!
8:08 remains the most astonishing block I have ever seen.
It makes no sense how he got to that ball
reminds me of the Blake Griffin 360 block on Kris Humphries
He has bionic arms😮😮😮
White is so athletic that he managed to block players bigger than him
He has perfect timing on those blocks.
Elite shot blocker D . WHITE!
The hand is a part of the ball for everyone saying foul
and you're ignoring jaylen brown's push before?
@@dagoat8432 I’m talking about dw on a video about his blocks what does Jaylen brown have to do with that
@@Nocing yes brown fouled pj so it shouldn't have been a block
@@dagoat8432 that little hand on the back is a push now? Lmao if they called every little touch like that there’d be 100 free throws a game
@@dagoat8432 that’s not a foul 🥷🏽 be real if you call that onnat block you might as well drop and let whoever up next hop onnat court ts soft
He's a great shot blocker for his size
hes a great shot blocker period

The baby head assassin!
D-White was not afraid to get dunked on
My MVP
A point guard blocking Draymond Green shot that is perfect. He is getting too old. He’s done lol
He's not a Pg
@@MuckNoya what is he then a guard?
comparing dwhites shot blocking to the average pg is insane
Jordan nwora had a block so good they had to sneak it into the derrick white video lol
I bought a D-White Jersey 2 years ago and everyone thought I was nuts.. Now they're sold out.
🐐🐐
Saw HIM coming since Pops.
"i said GOOD DAY SIR!" - derrick "fuck up outta here" white
Who will stop Derrick White among DAL players, say it...
D wade, Vince Carter, Derrick White, in that order
It's crazy cause Jason kidd challenged a call that was exactly what pj Washington did to derrick white and it was counted as a foul

The foul that didnt happen that people are complaining about is JB touching PJ's back, not the hand to hand contact.
DERRICK WHITE IS THE GREEN LANTERN I'M TELLING YOU!!! JURE HOLLERDAY IS THE GREEN GOBLIN!!!
Dude is the Scottie Pippen of Manu Ginobilis.
All the haters are the same who think Bronny will be a star in the NBA 😂😂😂😂
Boston at game 4 i feel..
Naw 5 6/17
Push by Brown and hand tap by White. Double Foul.
If you hate on DWhite, you definitely need to get your life together.
Luka Choked ....Another no show in the 4th
Luka choked ? He had a 30 pt triple double he can Carrie this team on his hurt back all the time kyrie only had like 13
Kyrie gon get the blame, they're literally playing 4 v 5 when Doncic is in the floor. And sometimes they play this bogus zone cause he can't defend.
@@Life-zs7hj295lol if u watched the game he played like shit 2nd half I'm ngl
@@demondsid8857 still had ANOTHER triple double

Shoved in the back by 1 while hand slaped by the other? Yea sure.
shoved?? we being fr? that kind of minimal contact in the NBA FINALS is not getting called
You mean his best fouls?
Fr lol
I'm saying. The first block they showed is a whole foul. Man never touched the ball that was all hand.
@@Chrisp707-that’s considered leagal the hand is consider the ball
If that's a foul than they minus well call everything a foul ngl
@@bobbybetwirlin8442 in what fucking world?
Crazy that he got 0 ball on the first play
That first block WAS NOT CLEAN thats a clear foul you can see it on the replay.
