If you look at the history of the NBA, guys that came out of high school are the guys that held the NBA together. You look a Kobe Bryant, you look at a LeBron, these are household names.
Quote by -Lou Williams
If a guy is not serious about being a student-athlete then why force him into the college system. He's not serious about getting education.
Quote by -Lou Williams
You have all the ambition of winning a championship and competing in your hometown. For me, it didn't work out that way.
Quote by -Lou Williams
The structure of college basketball never made sense to me. The coach is the star and you get up at 5:30 A.M. to run before class. That was never appealing to me.
Quote by -Lou Williams
I was raised in a musical house. Marvin Gaye. Boyz II Men. Jodeci. My mom always played that Toni Braxton song, 'Un-Break My Heart.' When I hear that song, it still puts me right back in the car with her.
Quote by -Lou Williams
Once you're there, you'll love playing for the Raptors and love playing for the country, but by the fourth or fifth month into the season, you're just like damn man, I wanna go home.
Quote by -Lou Williams
Sometimes I just think we get caught up in the entertainment aspect of this business and people kind of forget that this is the way we feed our families and this is our livelihoods.
Quote by -Lou Williams
A lot of guys ask me, 'Why did you go straight from high school to the NBA?' So I ask them, 'If you had the opportunity to take your dream job at 17- or 18-years-old, would you do it?'
Quote by -Lou Williams
Every time I'd ever stepped on a basketball court, AAU, middle school, high school, I always thought about the NBA.
Quote by -Lou Williams
I played varsity in high school as a 9th grader. I came off the bench during the first game of the season and had 25 points. Well, I became a starter after that and in the second game I scored 53 points.
Quote by -Lou Williams
I'd never seen my father stand up. As far as I can remember, my father was always in a wheelchair. I always remembered that. And I remember my first basketball game, ever, he rolls into the gym, he stays by the door and he watches me play. And that was the only game he ever saw me play because he passed away shortly after that.
Quote by -Lou Williams
In the NBA they've taken away so much of the hand-checking and the physicality of how guys are able to guard you. So if you touch me, I'm gonna throw the ball toward the rim and get shots.
Quote by -Lou Williams
I'm not a flopper. I hate when people say I'm a flopper. I don't flop. You never see me flying all over the floor. None of that. I barely fall down in games.
Quote by -Lou Williams
If you think that I got to come off the bench, then I am going to put you in a position to try to prove you wrong. Then after a while, it was kind of fun, and over the years it was my makeup.
Quote by -Lou Williams
In the summertime you'll find me back home in Atlanta, in the gym playing against whoever walks in that day.
Quote by -Lou Williams
I'm just a baller. This is something I love to do and was probably born to do.
Quote by -Lou Williams
I don't make a decision till I see fit. That's why I'm so effective. My mind isn't predetermined.
Quote by -Lou Williams
I always have these debates with my friends, I was like 'can you imagine dropping LeBron in '75?' and I was like 'bro he'd win 15 championships in a row.'
Quote by -Lou Williams
You can go to war at 18, so you should be able to make a living at 18, especially if college isn't what you see for yourself.
Quote by -Lou Williams
A lot of the stories I got on A.I., I can't say publicly. Overall, I just really appreciated how he went about going into games. He got a lot of flak for the 'practice' comment, but every game, he gave it his all.
Quote by -Lou Williams
It doesn't really matter to me whether you start or not. I play a lot of fourth quarters. I think that's what's most important to me. I think that's what I've always cared about, just having an opportunity to finish games when it's really winning time.
Quote by -Lou Williams
I think as competitors, that's why we get into this, to gain respect from the guys who have played the game, and you walk away and they say, 'He was a tough cover - that dude was nice.'
Quote by -Lou Williams
You know what, Kawhi talks the most in our group chat. The dude is a leader.
Quote by -Lou Williams
Some guys like to eat two or three different times a day before the game. I eat once, and that's it.
Quote by -Lou Williams
I've always had jewelry over the years, but when it comes to clothes, I'm just a white or black Polo tee guy with some jeans and a pair of Jordans, and I'm cool. As long as I'm comfortable, I'm cool.
Quote by -Lou Williams
I don't sleep much. I think it's hereditary. My mom doesn't sleep. My dad never slept. My naps are definitely when I get the most sleep. I'm a big napper - that's when I get most of my sleep.
Quote by -Lou Williams
When you play in Toronto you feel like you're playing overseas. We can't wait to go on the road sometimes just to be in America.
Quote by -Lou Williams
Kobe Bryant is a walking stat himself. He doesn't have to explain what he brings to the table.
Quote by -Lou Williams
I grew up in Memphis, Tennessee. Big time blues and music city. It's always been in my bloodline.
Quote by -Lou Williams
Whenever I'm out on the basketball court, I lace up and just hoop. Whether it's in summertime, at practice, in the games, playoffs, every time I step out on the basketball court, I approach it the same way.
Quote by -Lou Williams
I'm an Atlanta guy. I think Philly knows that. But I've adopted Philly as my second home, and they've embraced me.
Quote by -Lou Williams
Repetitions - I think that's one of the best ways during the season to maintain something or get better at it, is just to do it over and over.
Quote by -Lou Williams
I'm kind of arrogant and cocky when I play... It's kind of weird. It's like I have split personalities.
