A basket at the buzzer outside, in an elimination game, while his team is behind in the game and in the series: this is the context in which Derrick White and the Celtics found themselves in Miami. This is to say if this shoot in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals will enter the legend of the NBA.
In the meantime, he joins the buzzer shots made in the playoffs in recent years. Since 2015, several have hit the siren: Kawhi Leonard of course, in 2019, LeBron James (who sets up three, two in 2018 and another in 2015), Anthony Davis in the “bubble” or even Jayson Tatum and Derrick Pink.
