By this point, we all know the story of San Antonio Spurs combo guard Derrick White. He started as a scrawny young guard at a culinary college, continuing to pursue his hoops dreams despite all signs pointing toward failure. However, he never gave up on his dream and worked harder than just about anyone else to get into the D1 ranks, and eventually to a late first-round pick by the Spurs.
He locked himself in the gym all summer to improve his three-point shot after defying the odds and earning a spot on Team USA for the 2019 FIBA World Cup.
