White told Andscape after the game that he felt great but shifted the attention to the team, saying it was just one win. Mason, who still mentors White, responded by saying, “Never get too high. Never get too low.” White nodded. “He’s a role model to me for all young kids and young people out there because he does it the right way. And he’s a guy that people like, not just the basketball side of Derrick White, but he’s a likable guy and very good person,” said Mason, who attended Game 1.
