Celtics
“I’m banging a U-ey, kid.”
On the court, Derrick White is the Celtics’ do-everything guard, as likely to can a 3-pointer as he is to lock down Kyrie Irving or block the shot of a 7-footer.
Off the court, White is an an affable pitch man, endorsing brands from Samuel Adams to Culture Pop soda.
In a commercial for the Boston Beer Co. released ahead of Friday’s Celtics championship parade, White “buys” his own duck boat and tests out the amphibious vehicle during a drive through the city.
Among the Boston phrases White uses while driving are “I’m banging a U-ey, kid” and “The Pike is a friggin’ pahking lot,” though thankfully, it does not appear White took the vehicle onto I-90. At one point, though, he does submerge the vehicle in the Charles River, a part of the actual Boston Duck Tours route tourists take around the city. There, he feeds several ducks named after his teammates.
The Celtics’ rolling rally took place in Boston Friday.
