Celtics guard Derrick White had some simple but effective advice for Celtics fans celebrating Valentine’s Day this year.

For some folks, Valentine’s Day can be rather stressful. How do you show that special someone just how much you care? Is it best to avoid the cliché, or are the classics considered timeless for a reason? Thankfully for all you hopeful romantics out there, Boston Celtics guard Derrick White has simple, yet effective advice.

After Boston’s thunderous 136-86 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, White was asked if he could offer any wisdom to folks celebrating Valentine’s Day. He leaned on wisdom he learned from his previous head coach Gregg Popovich, suggesting that focusing in too much the day itself isn’t the way to go about things.
