Hot Rod Williams

Superstar players spend their entire career making defenders look foolish but what about when the tables are turned? Hot Rod Williams, a fearless rookie that doesn’t back down, shows exactly that. Rising high in the lane to emphatically deny a legend’s finger roll, the first-year forward becomes the catalyst for a subsequent Cleveland Cavaliers transition opportunity. A member of the All-Rookie First Team that season, Williams was a force to be reckoned with on both ends of the court, tallying 24 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and three blocks in the overtime battle against the Boston Celtics on January 16, 1987.
