Derrick White’s dad Richard on seeing his son hit the series clinching bucket for the Boston Celtics

Richard took a moment to share how the experience was for him as a proud dad.

It is not every day that one gets to see one’s progeny nail a series-winning basket in the NBA postseason, but Richard White, father of star Celtics floor general Derrick White, got to do exactly that. In the Boston Celtics‘ 105-102 Game 4 win over the Indiana Pacers, the elder White saw Derrick sink the clutch make after one of his rougher games in a while shooting the rock.

Richard took a moment to share how the experience was for him as a proud dad with some of the best seats in the house to his son’s monumental bucket going in for the Celtics. The folks over at CLNS Media put up a short interview with him on the topic.

Derrick White’s dad Richard on his son’s season with the Boston Celtics, title hopes and more

Few people know Derrick White’s game better than his father Richard.

The trade that the Boston Celtics made to bring on point guard Derrick White was derided as an overpay by many fans and analysts at the time. But now, the deal is looking like quite the steal for the Celtics, who picked up an All-Star level talent for rotation players and minimal draft assets.

And few people know Derrick White’s game better than his father Richard, who also happens to be a lifelong Celtics fan. CLNS Media reporter Bobby Manning, cohost of the “Garden Report” podcast, linked up with the elder White to talk about Derrick’s career year, the Celtics’ title aspirations, and more, providing insight into the younger White’s journey and the team’s potential for success this season.

Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear their talk in full.

Derrick and Richard White on Boston Celtics fandom, fatherhood, and more

The two have become beloved institutions in Celtics fandom.

Richard White grew up watching the Boston Celtics stack titles up close and personal after growing up in the area, so it was something of a pleasant surprise for him to learn his son Derrick White was being dealt to that ball club the season before last.

The shift from playing for the San Antonio Spurs to the Celtics was certainly eased with time, but also with the warm receptions the younger White got for his blue collar style of play in a city that loves that frame. Richard’s knowledge of the game and engaging social media presence has made him beloved to fans of the team as well.

On a recent episode of the team-produced “View From The Rafters” podcast, both Richard and Derrick White sat down to talk about Derrick’s time in Boston, his journey to the NBA, and more.
