Derrick White Responds To Being Left Off The ESPN Top 100 NBA Players List

Derrick White Responds To Being Left Off The ESPN Top 100 NBA Players List

It’s totally ridiculous that Derrick White was left off the top 100 NBA players list by ESPN. That company continues to prove they are trash each and every day. They don’t know basketball if they don’t think White is one of the top 100 players in the sport.

Derrick White last season:

— 12/4/4
— 46/38/88%
— All-Defense
— 1st in blocks by a guard
— 1st in blocks by a guard in the playoffs

Explain to me how this guy ^ isn’t a top 100 player? ESPN is a JOKE!

Nevertheless, White responded to being left off the list. He remained classy as usual. You can see by his response it’s just another chip on the shoulder.

Was Derrick White surprised he was left off the NBA's top 100 list?

"That's just kinda how my life has always been, so not really"

You're always in our top 100, D-White! 🫶🍀😤#BleedGreen pic.twitter.com/tNsoK55k0P

“Was I surprised? I mean, that’s just kind of how my life has always been, so not really surprised,” White said. “It is what it is. I don’t really focus too much on it.”

In that same interview, White responded to the praise that D’Angelo Russell gave him the other day.

“That was cool. I was kind of shocked,” White said. “I woke up and my boy sent me the D’Angelo Russell quote. But I mean especially from someone that’s done so much, an All-Star in this league, it was cool to hear. J.J., that’s my man. Shoutout to him. I don’t really focus on Top 100 or whatnot, but it’s cool to have that recognition from great players.”

Derrick White: ‘There’s only one Marcus Smart’ and Boston has work to do to replace him

Lay off the crack, ESPN. If you don’t think White is a top 100 player, you’re a noob. The important thing now is getting White extended. Something they’re apparently working on. We’ll see if that gets done prior to the start of the season.
