Boston Celtics guard Derrick White has quickly become a fan favorite, not just for his on-court hustle, but also for his off-court personality. His latest collaboration with Samuel Adams, the official beer of the Celtics, takes this love affair to a whole new level: a Boston themed duck boat commercial.
The ad, titled “Derrick White Buys a Duck Boat,” opens with White fresh off a championship win, proudly displaying his new trophy and a new tooth (a repaired battle scar from the Finals). He then declares his need for a new “ride” and announces, with a mischievous grin, “I’m going all in!”
The ad is a perfect blend of humor and local Boston charm. White’s deadpan delivery and genuine charisma shine through. The duck boat, a quirky symbol of Boston tourism, becomes a hilarious metaphor for White’s unique personality and his embrace of the city.
Social media has exploded with positive reactions. Fans are loving the ad’s absurdity and White’s willingness to poke fun at himself. It’s clear that Derrick White is not just a talented basketball player, but also a marketing goldmine for Samuel Adams.
