Derrick White is truly an underrated player. He's capable of putting up 20-30 points a night and still lock down as an all NBA defender, but nobody knows about this
he was their second best player last season during the playoffs. You could say this last year, but people know D White a dog now
@@aidang1629 single handedly dragged the Celtics through 3 more games just for Jalen Brown to bring it all down in game 7
@@aidang1629he most certainly was not jaylen brown was best then tatum
He most certainly can't score 20 to 30 a night
@@swoog10Tatum in game 4 and 5 was why they won. D white was good in game 6. He was honestly the best player in green in that game 7
Kristaps Porziņģis is a really special ball player and us Boston fans really appreciate his hard work ethic.
JJ is a top tier analyst and interviewer. His questions are always high IQ. 🙌🏻
There's no question he loves the sound of his own voice !!!
@@glennstirling1151😂😂😂😂
By high IQ probably about 75. High for idiots 🤣🤣
One of the few guys who actually is good at podcasting outside of their other career 😂
@@glennstirling1151 I was thinking the same thing! Not much talk from KP, most of the dialogue is JJ.
JJ is the most Celtic looking player that never played for them
How so 😂
@@akihomma7965 his love for Pritchard , they have similar "no days off in practice" stories
I thought because that he's white.🤣
@@akihomma7965cuz Celtics are always like 80% white
because he's white? so dumb
Impressed with how well spoken and personable he is
He's clearly one of the smartest players on the court and i see a head coaching job someday
@@holeefuk4614 He's already invested MILLIONS of his money in building basketball courts in his country. He has also hosted multiple summer camps, personally trained and overall done a great deal for the sport in Latvia. He is a literal legend at home.
I just always liked this guy. I want him to get his ring. I wish him great health
he’s really likeable this is why interviews are important
So why would anyone who isn’t likeable do them then?
Everyone loves an interview but you always run the risk of saying something that’l make you regret doing a single one
He’s a really likeable guy. I haven’t really liked him when my team plays against him, but he seems like a nice and thoughtful guy.
One of the best interviews I’ve heard. Both very intelligent.
Derrick white has been the most consistent player in boston in a long time. Just a guy they can always count on if things are going bad with Tatum or Brown. He is soooo under rated. Him and Al Horford I want to get a ring so bad.
Well, this is the year bubba
Watching him play he looks like the happiest player on the court. Obviously he has had to deal with stuff. Physically and mentally. Now he ended up in a dream situation. Contributing big time to the best team in the league. Having a great chance to win a championship. He’s always smiling. He loves being a Celtic. Not to mention he is in his prime. Best signing for any team in a while.
Facts. All we really need to seal the deal is another bench scorer like bruce brown/caruso or another paint defender/rebounder like drummond.
Celtics have lost like 5 games, all of them had either no Derrick White or he didn't play very well (which is rare, like twice in 20 or so games, and bad for him is still like 15 points, 6 assists but like 5 turnovers). He is very much like Marcus Smart on defense with tenacity and skill, but on offense he's like a less spectacular Haliburton who runs a well oiled offense. Very underrated player across the league. He took the Kobe plunge and shaved his head and his power level rose like 10%.
WE LOVE KP☘️☘️☘️ Once a Celtic, always a Celtic 💯
If Kristaps Porzingis stay healthy this season & consistent 2024 playoffs Boston big chance get #18 banner 💪💪💪
Oh, it could happen. Clippers tho
@@ixparadimeix92they destroyed the clippers when they matched up. Even with a healthy kawhhi the celtics are just too good for them. Only teams that can reallistically beat them is the nuggets, miami, milwaukee and themselves when they make irrational decisions in the clutch.
D White is so good cause he came from the Coach Pop and Ime tree in San Antonio ppl can say what they want about coach Pop but he teaches his players the fundamentals of the game that's why D White is soo good look at Dejounte Murray, Kawhi Leonard, Patty Mills all the guys who came under Pop they are always efficient and play the right way!!
I love the honesty. Great interview.
Kristap is funny 😂
Did not realize Kristaps was this chill, definitely spreading good vibes to C’s team
As a Knicks fan who actually was excited when we drafted him. I have to say him winning a chip would warm my heart🥹
What kind of Knicks fan you are then? 😡
@@BoolatGuzairovlololol
Great to see JJ after his career in the NBA wrapped up doing another thing he was made to do. Looks like he really loves asking these questions always a great listen.
As a 50 year old lifelong Celts fan I can say this team gets me very excited. I see #18 coming this year. ☘
When they signed Porziņģis, I was excited just as excited as when we signed Kevin Garnett. I knew what type of impact he would make for this team.
We love kristaps in Boston. He's that guy he ain't scared he welcomes the uncomfortable. Brown nope Tatum nope he takes the edge off he's my all time fav Celtic after 15 games 😂 seriously tho love this dude
As a Celtics fan I’m kinda sad that we didn’t get to see KP with Robert Williams but at the same time Rob is more injury prone than AD so I’m glad Brad traded him😭
Yeah that was my point about the trade. You lost nothing other than Brogdon and Smart for upgraded starters. Pretty great offseason if the health stays intact
Facts and as much ad I loved Smart, Jrue is a better defender and offensive player as well
Rob is already out for season
@@alphjallow2221 right. Even if that hadn’t happened, the risk was always going to be there.
@dizzdondotta9537 jrue is the better defender but he hasn't been effective on offense really much at all this year
This is something nice from u to bring a cool content for us while out with an injury
I don't think ive ever heard a teammate current or former who has ever said one negative word about Derek White. Literally, everyone loves him..
Never been this early in my fuckin life 💀
J in the algorithm cause me either 😂
I was here before they recorded....
@@duffman1876 I was here before they made the show
Your girl begs to differ
Great podcast JJ
Yo @JJRedick, im obviously a Celtics fan I lived here whole life, anyway i like your interviews u ask the questions us as fan's wanna ask and hear. Ive folloed KP pretty good before he csme to us and this man wants it he is very underated now people are seeing including myself he belongs here hes a star confident as all hell keep this up KP we need you to get us homecourt we need the best record to have homecourt thru out so we best record in league not just East you guys fet us homecourt thru out, PROMISE THE GARDEN GOT YOUR BACK WE SHOWUP WATCH WHEN THE PLAYOFFS ARE HERE, you see it now in reg season they called us it well when it was the fleetcentre we called it the jungle players and fans im talking Paul Peirce against Indiana seen the highlights him talking to Al Harrington b4 he shoots it in his mug as he was watching the clock
JJ is one of the best snipers
the NBA has produced. He can be hired as a development coach to hone the shooting skills of players.
The Celtics wanted to fire him as an assistant coach idk if it was a shooting coach but he talks about it i think in the Joe mazulla interview where he says they met up to discuss it and everything but he ultimately decided not to
Let's go kristaps portazinGod
Very agree. White is underrated. He's a big factor for the Celtics. I already love to see him ball for the Spurs back then. I was so glad that Celtics got him. Better give him an extension next season Brad
Celtics gonna win it all this year . And have 18 championships beating the Tie with the LA Fakers
We are definitely winning the championship 🎉. Go Celtics.✅
Kp has been fantastic since his return from Injury
Go Celtics
Don’t believe anyone when they say Boston is not a FA destination. 2 years in a row elite caliber players choose the C’s over the field. Don’t tell me Boston is not a destination team.
Also, I want to know what other teams had a chance at KP in the summer. I’m guessing the Lakers.
But Boston isn't a FA destination. Those have all been trades. The biggest FA signings the C's have had in the last 10 yrs have been Gordon Hayward and Al Horford.
@ryanho5614 now adays high end talent doesn't get to free agency. Players do have influence over trades though.
It’s not bro we don’t like to pay our players .. that’s with all New England teams, I’m surprised as a Celtics fan that Jaylen got paid
@@ryanho5614 true, however, in both instances, the players had choices. Brogdon, could’ve went to Toronto if he wanted but chose Boston. KP has also said he chose Boston over other opportunities.
@@Shootafam02124 Getting KG in a trade helped changed Boston’s perception. It helped with Al Horford because now, you see players considering Boston seriously in a trade and free agency. Prior to KG, Boston had to overpay to sign free agents like Dana Barros or an aging Dominique Wilkins.
"Never too high or never too low". Yeah, except when a referee makes the wrong call. Nothing wrong with showing some emotion when you lose knowing you should win. Fans want to see that you care and have passion. I get what hes saying about Tatum but imo its a weakness. He doesnt have to be agro - but, come on dont pretend its not there - it comes out every time a ref calls a non foul. We just wanna see it come out when the Celtics lose knowing they should have won. Show some passion fella.
Most people make lists to be heard, not to be accurate. The selections typically don't involve an in-depth look at the game and how such players impact the game on all fronts (defensively and offensively). They look for flashy players who can score loudly and got more flare. While some are obviously rightfully considered the elite of the elite, players like Derrick White get left off or are kept at the bottom because they aren't flashy or the most explosive players. The aforementioned is why players like Larry Bird are often left off the top 10 of greatest of all-time. Everything has to be taken into consideration when anointing who's the best of the best. Altheltism is important, but making an impact on winning and changing the game is more meaningful. (To put this into perspective in a different context is like saying Drake is a better rapper than Tupac because of Drake's billboard hits...No, he's not even close).
Growing up watching the NBA throughout the 80's, 90's, etc and still today, I'd say the result of what I've said above is a sign of the times. In other words, the NBA has literally been altered to allow more scoring. Take into account the following: the spacing that's required for a shooter which allows more space to shoot, how easy it is to foul (flopping), the lack of calling traveling and ball carrying, no hand-checking, and the obsession with shooting long-range shots instead of getting dirty in the paint. I'm not saying I dislike the NBA today because I still love it, but the aforementioned is integral in how many are wrongfully influenced in making these BS lists.
I hope Derrick White gets chosen for the All-Stars this year. He deserves it.
“ sexy “ is just wild
White is the only Celtic who shows up for the biggest playoff games! He's it ! Brown melts Tatum melts we need white and jrue and kristaps" ice in the veins " porzingus to carry this team in the playoffs
Almost every one of those answers seemed like the thing the PR person told him to say
People don’t know KP is actually a wild boy in real life lol
Health will be the biggest challenge for Kp
Would be great to see Gordan Hayward on the pod discussing his nba journey.
Even though he wouldn't say much I would love to hear about his boston experience. His whole time there it was a roller coaster
@@DillaDonuts I love your prof pic, best mixtape of all time
@@yurrrrrrrrr5957 hahah thx. That mixtape will forever be in rotation for me. Certified classic
@@DillaDonutsthat would prob be a great interview
@@ryanquinn4266 lol we got our wish
I want to know the other team that wanted KP
There were multiple offers but it's not know which teams were those.
D white got that spurs mentality
Shout out Colorado Derrick White and Reggie Jackson putting on
we got to see porzingiz hit 50 points
KP got a bad rep because of his trade request and then the falling out with Luka. Neither of those things were his fault.
I'm trying to argue with Luka fans. And you can see from this interview - when Luka plays, it is about him and as other players do not get enough touches/ball time - their skill level detoriate. And longer you stay in Dallas, worse player you become. Washington was a blessing probably to get your skills up.
It gets forgotten because the Celtics didn't win the title last year, but his tip in game winner against the Heat is one of the biggest plays in NBA history.
Need Cam Reddish on here
👏👏👏👏👏

Kinda disappointed. JJ did a phenomenal job interviewing with great questions and thinking on his feet with each response. KP tho… dude I’m a Celtics fan and I know some people are just quieter, but it felt like he was giving press conference answers the entire time
a lot of foreigners answer like this but he’s being honest
@@g0r3reaperfr english isn’t his first language he’s just trying his best
@@g0r3reaper yeah that’s fair, after I gave my comment I thought back to the Luka interview which was kinda similar to this. Tbh I think I kinda forgot he was a foreigner with how light his accent is. Overall I’m stoked abt having him on my team and just wanted to learn more abt the dude
@@jeffreyvalentyn6815he also doesn’t want any trouble and step on someone’s toes and make it seem that everyone wronged him, although he had his own faults with being so immature in the past
Hali being From WI…. He is a humble dude… But can comman a army…
You know how the NFL has a top 100 and the players do the voting? The nba should adapt that, it’d be fun imo
Bring on Scottie Barnes
GET GORDON HAYWARD ON!!
Game 6 Derrick white i knew he was bad mf
You guys are so refined and so talented. You should both have more kids. I don’t understand why people who are as talented and beautiful as some of these NBA players are don’t have more children than they do. The NBA is just not having enough children in general they need to be into big families like Catholics.
D White slept on him n Derozan carried the spurs when they were on that team they almost beat the Nuggets that year
I bet this guy doesn't even have Porzingis in his Top 20. I think K.P. is the best player in the NBA. I might have him slightly over rated. But his size. His skill set. He's definitely Top 10. Oh that's Reddick. Dumb Dukey... HEELS HERE!
Spurs should’ve kept him around, no reason you’ve let him and Dejounte go and still only have Tre Jones and Sochan running point. But perhaps they don’t get Wemby if they kept those two. Who knows.
I think al horford should start with kp ,drew,jb,jt
True, dummy
JRUE *
l trust DWhite with the ball in the last 5 seconds in a game over anyone else.. Derrick White ALLSTAR 23-24 VOTE EARLY VOTE OFTEN!!
The Celtics need Ime!
He's like the lovechild of Stephen Amell and Klay Thompson.
🎉
Questions are waaaaay to long let KP speak.
Early asab
2nd and 3rd
🫡
You can tell this was a slog for JJ. I love KP, but, pretty generic answers.
first?
100th comment
first lol
I need Kristaps to speak more confidently about the situation. This is a championship or bust situation. These guys MUST win. Deep playoff run isn’t satisfactory.
Relax, man. If Boston wins, THEY get rings. YOU get bragging rights. That's it.
KP's always had a chill personality. Perhaps enjoy that along the way to the championship.
You’ve seen him on the court this year laughing and smiling while they’ve been winning. Couldn’t ask for more from a superstar in a new role
@@brentduanefoster Nothing to relax about. Boston has been a championship team for the past couple years and have failed to get it done for some reason. It’s ridiculous at this point. Now the team is somehow even better. Get it done. I don’t want to sit here and hear this team as presently constructed talk about anything less than a championship. “Deep playoff run” give me a break.
@@Dimework And if they don't, how's that gonna affect your life? It WON'T. Again, Relax.
@@brentduanefoster Nice work captain obvious. It’s not about how it affects my life. Can we enjoy the game and have some passion without everything being undermined? I can assure you I’m not as invested as you may seem to think. Bottom line is this is a championship team and anything less than a championship is pathetic. Nothing to debate here. You wanna tell someone to relax go get a girlfriend.
8th
These interviews are always the same
I promise Kristaps doesn’t know what “linear” means.
I promise you don't know the difference between meat and a taco hehehe 😋 😜
Your mom said that to me last night.@@ixparadimeix92
please never saying that something a basketball player does is sexy. he’s a goated player and people understand that, but no one looks at it and calls it sexy
JJ is part of the White Power Association 😂
Porzingis playing on his 4th team. Nothing but a role player now but has an ego of a superstar. A complete fraud.
A role player averaging 19 ppg?? Found the Knicks fan😂
Gotta be the most dominant role player ever. 😂
The ego when he volunteered to come off the bench…
He's Celtics second best player rn
🤡🤡🤡
Tingus Pingus’ forearms are longer than most people’s legs 🦵
Celtics and Tingus Pingus gonna beat the Knickerbockers for sure!
