Derrick White made the NBA buzz in recent hours, as he led the Boston Celtics to a massive win over the Miami Heat on Saturday night.
Just when everyone thought it was all lost with the Celtics, White grabbed the rebound off Marcus Smart’s three-point attempt and made a big bucket to beat the Heat.
This was an unforgettable moment not only for him and his team but the entire NBA.
Celtics reporter Jay King revealed that this is only the second player in NBA history whose team has faced elimination and is late in shooting time.

White’s shot was already great, but to make things even better, he emulated what Michael Jordan had done in the past.
The famous shot on Craig Ehlo of the Cleveland Cavaliers was the first time a situation like this had happened, which sums up how unique this shot was.
The Celtics pulled off some kind of miracle with this shot, and they hope to do it again in Game 7.
They could become the first team to come back from an 0-3 deficit in NBA history, and the best part is that the final game will be at the TD Garden.
Boston has had a great run in the past three games, and they can end this amazing streak with their fourth straight win in the series.
White & Co. They’ll be ready to take on the Miami Heat, but it won’t be easy for them.
