Fans of the Boston Celtics watching the play that saw Derrick White‘s face get mushed into the hardwood by a flailing, out of control Derrick Lively II as the Mavericks big man tried to break his fall undoubtedly saw shades of Grant Williams getting his head stepped on by Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what he had to say about that scary moment!
