Derrick White on the play he chipped his tooth in the Boston Celtics Game 5 of the finals

Fans of the Boston Celtics watching the play that saw Derrick White‘s face get mushed into the hardwood by a flailing, out of control Derrick Lively II as the Mavericks big man tried to break his fall undoubtedly saw shades of Grant Williams getting his head stepped on by Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo.

But the play in question ended differently for White, with the Colorado native chipping his tooth in what initially looked much worse. The man himself talked about how he chipped his tooth in Game 5 of the NBA Finals during a Celtics’ championship Gillette event on Monday.

Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what he had to say about that scary moment!
