Charles Barkley and Shaq roast Derrick White’s hairline, compare him to Stephen A. Smith
Derrick White received MVP chants inside TD Garden for his sensational performance in Game 2, as he scored 26 points to help lead the Celtics to a 119-106 win over the Hawks.
Clips of White’s postgame press conference were broadcast on TNT, and NBA legends Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal lost it over White’s signature hairstyle. Barkley could barely keep himself from cracking up, and compared White to ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith.
“Stephen. A plays for the Celtics? He do First Take in the morning and play for the Celtics. That dude’s going to be tired,” Barkley joked.
Smith vowed to get back at Shaq and Chuck.
Love all of my brothers on @NBAonTNT. But I’m gonna get @SHAQ and Chuck for comparing me with Derrick White. Y’all are gonna pay for that 😀😀😀
