Feb. 14—Where good news shines

The Legend legend is shining for the Boston Celtics.

Good timing, too.

Derrick White, a graduate of Legend High in Parker, was named the NBA's Eastern Conference player of the week Monday. The Celtics guard averaged 24.5 points, 7.5 assists and 4.8 rebounds over a four-game heater.

Boston went 4-0, owns the NBA's best record and is the betting favorite to win the NBA title.
