Wassup up Blog Fam? My rookie season started last night. We came up just a little bit short. We got 81 more games to go, so we’ll get back in the lab and work harder. I know I gotta give more effort for us to get those W’s!
Anyway, I recently sat down for a talk with Harvery Araton of the New York Times. We talked about my childhood and how I was able to get through poverty and make it to the NBA. I think after you read this, you’ll understand why I wear #8. Here’s a little bit of the interview:
Many a young male has surmounted a difficult childhood, as did Mr. Williams, to become a millionaire professional in the National Basketball Association. The transformation from poverty and displacement to wealth and comfort can be jarring, as Mr. Williams discovered when he and his girlfriend, Sara Lambo, moved in last July. Mr. Williams, 22, found it hard to break old habits, and leave behind the memory of his impoverished Seattle childhood, when he lived in a house jammed with relatives after his 20-year-old father was murdered when he was 6.

Wassup blog fam? I’m out in New Jersey right now with my girl trying to find a condo. While I have some time I want to tell you guys a little about my experience at the Orlando Summer League.
After my short trip to Seattle, I headed out for two a day practices with my summer league squad. It was kind of weird because I was playing with players that have so many different goals. Some guys were recent first round picks or veterans with guaranteed contracts that were just trying to improve their games.
