Derrick White Career High 36 Points Full Highlights (4/18/2019)
Derrick White opened his eyes slowly. When he saw where he was, or, more specifically, that he wasn’t in the locker room anymore, he shut them again. Maybe if kept his eyes closed, whatever hallucination he had just experienced would dissipate and he could open them again to find himself back with his jubilant teammates,…

The Spurs need to do something about their “Derrick White is our best player” problem. I’m not complaining, because I think White is great and it’s cool to see him be the best player on the team despite not having any real experience to speak of, but I can’t imagine it’s a recipe for playoff…

There will come a time, I hope, when the Spurs aren’t good anymore. It may not be in my lifetime, but it will come. How many years in a row have they made the playoffs now? Way too many, and I bet for that whole time there were people like me just waiting for them…

Derrick “Am I Kawaii Uguu~” White scored eleven points in the final six minutes of this game to save the Spurs from an embarrassing loss to the Hawks. The terms “hero” and its adjectival form “heroic” get thrown around too much these days, but I can say without shame that Derrick White as a heroic…

It doesn’t seem like a coincidence that the Spurs are winning again now that Derrick White is back. They lost 6 of the 7 games that he missed, and almost as soon as he returned, they’ve gone on a 6-game winning streak. By definition, the fact that winning is happing again in San Antonio means…
Read MoreDerrick White 18 Points/9 Assists/6 Blocks Full Highlights (3/6/2019)
Derrick White’s 6 blocks in this game are the most in any single game by a guard this season, tied with Jrue Holiday. No other guard even has 5. Obviously, when it comes to guards and blocking shots, you’re getting a lot of strips and knockaways, which is a lot lamer than bigmen rejecting dunks…

Sometimes bad things have to happen in order for good things to happen. Case in point: Dejounte Murray getting injured. Obviously that was a Bad Thing. But his injury has allowed for the discovery of Derrick White. That’s a Good Thing. If White was only getting spot backup minutes behind Murray and Mills, we would…

Imagine blocking somebody so hard that you injure yourself. That’s what Derrick White did when he blocked Jerami Grant at the rim in the second overtime of this thrilling matchup. It was actually more like Grant injured him since it was Grant’s elbow that made contact, but it’s more fun to think about it in…
