  "account": "When considering the most likable Boston athlete among the city's sports teams, Celtics guard Derrick White certainly stands out. While other prominent athletes in Boston, such as Red Sox pitcher Payton Tolle, New England Patriots players and Boston Bruins, also have their share of fans, White's likability appears to be particularly noteworthy. To get a sense of where White ranks among the most likable local athletes, we turned to NBC Sports Boston's YouTube channel, where they recently featured a segment on their Arbella Early Edition show. The hosts, Trenni Casey, Kayla Burton, Phil Perry and Andy Hart, debated the topic and shared their thoughts on White's likability. Watch the clip below to hear their perspectives on this matter.",
