San Antonio sports fans were quick to congratulate former Spurs guard Derrick White on winning the 2024 NBA Championship as part of the Boston Celtics.
Perhaps the most dramatic part of the fifth and final game came late in the second quarter when White dove for a loose ball. During the scramble, Mavericks Center Dereck Lively II landed on top of White, smashing his head into the floor.The collision broke one of White's front teeth in half. He ran to the bench, wiped away the blood and jumped back into the game, hitting a three-pointer seconds later.
"Derrick White is awesome… Would love for him to eventually make his way back home to the Spurs," X user @ourtradingcards wrote.Other San Antonio fans praised White's toughness after busting his tooth. Some even chalked up that resiliency to his time playing for a certain team."And where did he learn that??? SATX baby," user @bowtie_dad replied.
"Shaming Spurs fans for celebrating Derrick White's championship is the equivalent of being bitter because your ex got married," Teague said."It's okay to walk and chew gum at the same time."
