    Lou Will is such a great humble, respectful, kind, n generous man. I still remember when he was fresh into the league with the sixers and he came to my dads bar (Mr. C's Love Lounge). He never once acted like he was better than anyone that was there. He was jus chill in in the cut jus tryin to have drink n a good time jus like everyone else that was there. On a side note; that moment hits me so much more ever since my pops passed away like 3 yrs ago.

    Sweet Lou, LouWill, Lemon Pepper Lou, The Underground GOAT... *Arguably* the greatest pure scorer off the bench in NBA history🐐 As a Hawks fan, I’ve appreciated everything he’s done for the team and everywhere he’s played over his career for his selflessness for the betterment of the team. I feel he should’ve gotten at least one All-Star nod during his career but he’s still a certified bucket getter regardless 💯

But they were key members of what the Clippers post Lob-City meant and I was really really sad after they were traded. I will always cherrish my Low Williams Clippers jersey!

      and to think he came directly into the league outta high school as an 18yr old kid at only 6'1 and about 175lbs...unlike fellow high schoolers Spencer Haywood, KG, Kobe, T-Mac, LeBron Dwight, etc who had heigh and strength to their benefit (Sebastian Telfair, who was talented as well, was the only "small" who I can think of who did that, and his career wasn't as accomplished as Lou's).

    What Lou Williams has accomplished is underrated. This man came into the league directly out of high school and has had a helluva reputable career.
    What's underrated is that he did this at 6'1 and at about 175lbs,. meaning that not only were most competitors much more experienced than him, they were also taller and stronger and this man has been known for getting buckets no matter where he plays or who he's teamed with.

    I was very confused when the Clips traded him; didn’t make sense to me then, and still doesn’t make sense to me now. They essentially flipped Pat Bev, Lou Will, some draft picks + cash for Eric Bledsoe. Still not a fan of that move.
    Lou Will is one of those rare players where he is mutually respected around the league. It sucks that the Clippers backstabbed him; and I’m forever wishing that he was able to win a ring with them.
