"M-V-P" Chants rain down in Boston ... but it ain't for Tatum or Brown

Derrick White is doing more than just emerge as a force for the Celtics, delivering a 26-point, six-rebound performance in Boston's Game 2 win over Atlanta.

BOSTON — With time winding down in the fourth quarter, the Boston Celtics faithful began an all-too common “M-V-P, M-V-P!” chants.

It’s not unusual to hear this directed at Jayson Tatum who will likely finish in the top-5 for league MVP this year.

Jaylen Brown, in the running for a spot on the one of the all-NBA teams, will occasionally be serenaded with “M-V-P, M-V-P” chants.

But Derrick White?

A late bloomer in college who developed into a late first-round pick, is looking more and more like a late-blooming star whose play continues to be an instrumental part in Boston’s success.
