In the third quarter — as it became clear White’s Buffs were likely going to win — the apparent arguing turned violent … as you can see in our video, a man in a CSU hat and a Utah shirt swung his arm into the side of White’s head. The blow connected so hard — it knocked the hat right off White’s dome … and a huge skirmish then ensued. -via TMZ.com / September 16, 2024
Last year, Haliburton had the second-most blocked threes for the season with 19. For comparison, he had more blocks in slightly fewer minutes than either Herb Jones or Derrick White. This isn’t just a one-year trend, either, as he was 18th in the league last year, second in 2022, and 13th in 2021. -via Basketball Poetry / September 6, 2024
Holiday, Derrick White and Jayson Tatum just concluded their gold medal run in the Paris Olympics this month, Holiday becoming the first focus last fall in the USA’s recruitment while Tatum surprisingly played a limited role and sat out two games. Like Team USA head coach Steve Kerr and other teammates, Holiday thought Tatum handled the situation well by focusing on winning. “Playing with them is really comfortable,” Holiday when asked by CLNS Media. “Did it for a while and we won together, but I think to go over there and represent our country together was really cool. I think everybody here knows J.T., he’s the ultimate professional. He already knows what it is and what the ultimate goal is. I don’t think he needed any encouragement. I think it was more about staying ready whenever it’s time to be called.” -via CLNSMedia.com / August 28, 2024
