According to the former player, his impact as a sixth man throughout his years in the North American basketball league was enough to accredit him as someone who changed the sport.
This past Monday, the 13th, the former player Lou Williams participated in the “Podcast P”, presented by Paul Georgeof Los Angeles Clippers. And, according to himself, the athlete believes he deserves to join the Hall of Fame from the NBA. According to the former point guard, his achievements would be enough for such an honor.
“I honestly feel like I’ve done enough [para estar no Hall da Fama]. I think when you think about Hall of Fame, you think about the obvious guys, you know? Don’t think about the other honorees. There’s a coach you’ve never heard of going into the Hall of Fame in the same year. There will be some players, some coaching staff members who will go to the Hall of Fame.”, he stated. Lou was remarkable wherever he went, winning the “Best Sixth Man” award on three different occasions, being the biggest winner of the trophy alongside Jamal Crawford. Because of this, the shipowner believes he would have been impactful enough for the honor.
“The Basketball Hall of Fame is about making an impact on the game that no one else has been able to make. And I feel like I, especially, did that. I’m sorry that Jamal [Crawford] made it up. He will be eligible two years before me, he will be eligible next year. So, the way this is handled in relation to him will give me an idea of how it will be for me. Whether it’s the first vote or whatever, I think I did enough to get it done. Talk about someone who embraced a position that was handed to me. I stood up for her and made it cool. I made this transcendent when children become comfortable doing [o papel de sexto homem]”he completed.
However, even with so much prominence as the first option on the bench, Lou Williams does not seem to have a trajectory that makes him a strong candidate to join the select group of former players. The former athlete had only 122 starts in all 17 years of his career, averaging 13.9 points, 2.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists. Their greatest collective achievement was in 2021, when they reached the finals of Eastern Conference as Atlanta Hawksbut ended up being defeated by Milwaukee Bucks.
