White has been a 0-skiller in his career, saying that this will not be respected by Tatum!

White is the hero of the Celtics' championship in 2024. There is no doubt that in order to reduce luxury taxes this year, General Manager Stevens quickly and accurately traded Porzingis and Holiday. But White was kept, of course it was not that he couldn't trade it out, but he was the one who was asked the most. It was obvious that the Celtics wanted to keep him and have a chance to make a comeback in the future.

White has a record in his career, which is that he has committed 0 technical fouls so far. He has played a total of 10,872 minutes in his career. Not only has he never been expelled, but he has never even eaten a technical foul. However, this record is not the only one, and Conley and Brogden have never received technical fouls among the active players.

White also talked about this topic on a podcast show this year. He said: "In the past, teammates in the locker room would also joke with me about this topic. Tatum once told me that if I couldn't take a technical foul, I wouldn't respect me."

"Of course I know this was a joke he made to me, but some people think that without a technical foul is a performance of not being tough. In the early days of my career, I thought I would never take technical fouls, so when I scored some key goals, I would also restrain my celebration and try to dunk as little as possible."

"But these situations have changed a little recently, and I feel that I am getting closer to getting the first technical foul."

Is White a tough guy? I personally think he is still very tough in playing basketball, but he is not the kind of tough body and tough attitude. White is definitely a big heart player. He also has many outstanding performances at critical moments in the 2024 championship season.

G4 faced the Heat in the first round, White made 15 of 26 shots in a single game, scoring 38 points, showing his superstar level and helping the team win.

G5 in the first round, White continued his good form, making 8 of 13 shots in the game, 5 of 10 three-pointers, scoring 25 points and 5 rebounds, with a very high shooting percentage, helping the Celtics beat the Heat 118-84 and advanced to the semi-finals 4-1 with a total score.

In the finals, White made 4 of 10 shots, 4 of 8 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 14 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 1 block, plus or negative value +1, contributing to the team on both offense and defense.

G6 faced the Pacers in the West Finals, White completed a buzzer-beating tip-off at the last moment of the game, helping the team secure the victory, reflecting his big heart characteristics.

White is the type of player who can make three-pointers on your head, but his way of celebrating seems very low-key, at most he claps himself or nods to the other party. If Duncan is watching you, and you feel numb, then White seems to have ignored you directly.

The Celtics will definitely not be a championship team next season. With Stevens's operation, the Celtics' total salary next season is only 1.7 million US dollars more than the first tycoon line, and 9.4 million US dollars more than the luxury tax line. Then the Celtics sent N'An and the next two second round picks to the Jazz for rookie RJ Louis, which directly saved the team nearly 50 million in salary and luxury tax.

Of course, reducing luxury tax means losing competition for the championship. Tatum is likely to be reimbursed next season. Brown and White alone are likely to make it to the playoffs at most, and it is estimated that it will not go far later.

I can only say that the former boss is really visionary. After winning the championship, he sold the team directly and took action in time.
