The summer of Derrick White continues!!
NBA champ, contract extension, now an Olympian
Caught up with White today to see how he's feeling after being named to Team USA:
"Anytime you put USA on your chest, it's a huge blessing.. It's been a fun ride, and I'm just trying to continue to make a name for myself."
Want to know why he’s as successful as he is and does what he’s able to do?
He got the call at 10:30pm last night for Team USA, yet was still here for Day 3 of camp, 9am to 4pm, interacting with the kids all day long. He knows how much it means to them, makes them feel special.
Jaylen Brown:
“Getting moved to the bench, being in trade talks, getting booed when I got drafted, getting called overpaid and overrated… All of that stuff made me who I am today.”
Jaylen Brown says a lot of his teammates spend the pre-Finals break with their families, but adds:
“I don’t have a family, I’m single, so I’ve been mainly watching Harry Potter.” 😭
